One for My Enemy by Olivie Blake

4.0

This was an incredible ride! Set in modern New York, this book combines witches, politics, and rival families in a way that hooked me from the start. The atmospheric writing, inspired by Koschei and Marya, and the clever Romeo & Juliet retelling added even more intrigue. The multi-perspective narrative kept me on my toes, eagerly anticipating when characters would catch up to what I already knew. The character development, especially Masha's journey of self-discovery and Sasha's struggles with love and loss, was incredible. The romance was poetic and heart-wrenching, and the last fifty pages had me glued to my seat. Although there were some slow-pacing moments, the intricate plots and diverse characters made it an exhilarating read. I highly recommend the audiobook narrated by Ferdelle Capistrano, whose performance truly brings the story to life.
