Thanks so much to Netgalley and the Publisher for a copy of this book.

This is a very difficult review for me to write because I cannot actually tell whether or not I liked this book. It was my first Kerri Maniscalco book and I absolutely loved the look and sound of it.

I thought Emilia was an interesting character to follow around and I found myself being sucked into the story and being on the edge of my seat to see what happens next, how book one will end. And I just love a really good whodunit plot.

I am also not mad at hot demon princes from hell. Absolutely not. However, as charming as Wrath is, I couldn't help but feel a little squeamish and uncomfortable at the relationship between Wrath and Emilia. He gets her consent to save her at one point, which results in a kiss and a naked bath, which left me utterly confused. I also felt like Emilia was constantly a damsel in distress and in need of rescuing. The fact that Wrath laid out dresses for her and followed her around... all of that just gave me a bit of a weird vibe and it isn't a relationship I am invested in. Rather on the contrary. However, I know that a lot of readers like this exact brand of fantasy so if you are not at all mad at anything I just described this is going to be the book for you!

In the end, I did like it but I didn't love it. However, I liked it enough and am intrigued enough to be excited for the next book in the series to see where the story goes!
