Going into this I only knew 19th century Italian backdrop with witches. So I was pleasantly surprised at the seven Princes of Hell, each representing a deadly sin. We don’t meet them all but I’m intrigued to if we meet the rest in book two.
Due to my reading mood this took a few chapters to get into. But once I sat down and properly read I found myself captivated by this world, characters and story. Not wanting to put it down.
Kerri Maniscalco writing creates an dark intense atmosphere I couldn’t get enough of.
When it comes to the characters created Wrath is a brooding Prince of Hell. Cocky, arrogant, powerful, morally gray flirt you can’t help but love. The instant chemistry with Emilia, the banter and bickering had me at one point blurting out JUST KISS ALREADY. Talk about a potential slow burn romance. At least I hope that’s where its heading. I just love them together.
The added mystery regarding the murders intrigued me. Although I didn’t find myself trying to figure it out. Instead just letting myself enjoy the book and see if anything stood out as a clue. I was surprised by the reveal.
The cliffhanger has left me wanting more ASAP. I need to know about basically everything. The curse, Wrath and Emilia relationship, Pride, the other Princes.
