This Vicious Grace by Emily Thiede

5.0

This was the first fantasy book I picked up after months of reading romance in the summer and it 100% did it’s job.

I didn’t even fully read the synopsis when I picked it up, I saw “three weddings, three funerals” and immediately just knew I had to have it.

The Italian inspired world, the glittering gowns, the badass (and lonely) heroine, and a grumpy bodyguard who she had to beg to work for her are just some of my favorite things.

Alessa is the chosen Fenestra, window to the divine and receiver of a gift from the gods; the power to magnify her partners magic. Unfortunately she’s killed three of them. After several attempts to kill her and rising political tension, Alessa hires Dante to protect her. There’s no way that she’ll end up falling in love with him right???
