⭐⭐⭐ 3/5
**SPOILER ALERT**
This book, what can I say about it, a lot of things really. I liked the overall idea for the book BUT I think it was underdeveloped. The witches, the demon Princes, minor demons, grimoires, covens, Sicily, the murders, the witch hunters, the God brothers... were really good ideas but something was missing.
I liked some things and disliked a few other, the characters... are another story.
What I liked from this book apart from the <>overall idea> are the following points:
◇ WRATH He's for sure the most interesting son of a b*tch in the entire book, he remains an enigma till the end, he still is. The few times he appears in the book everything becomes more questionable and more enigmatic, everything makes no sense when he enters the picture (if that makes any sense 😅).
◇ The murders this was one of the things that called me to this book, the MYSTERY, the beginning of the book started really strong with the murder of the sister, the man (W) licking the blood off his fingers, the missing heart... was a bit satanic, but very interesting and fitting to the book genre and plot.
◇ The "ROMANCE" , who the come from "enemies to lovers", I guess if could call them enemies. I really didn't see much enmity between them, apart from the occasional bickering, the name calling 'Demon' or 'Witch', they were more allies than enemies. But I guess the progression of their relationship was interesting enough because it made the book lighter, attractive and more interesting.
Now the I'm going to be brutally honest here, I'm DISAPPOINTED with this book, I expected more from a mystery paranormal YA book, there were just things that were too obvious, parts were there was too little of everything and chapters that were just plain BORING.
○ EMILIA was an annoying heroine, an really take the damsel in distress syndrome to another level... I don’t enjoy heroines like that, she was repetitive, always saying the same thing again and again... like a vicious cycle, she was never strong enough to fight her own battles bit she always came out unscathed (how unbelievable I must say), she was plain DUMB, the answers were IN FRONT of her all this time she just didn't see them because she's too stupid for her own good. I disliked her character.
I’d lost all memories of spells or healing charms. I’d shut down and let fear take control. (She didn't defend herself, AGAIN, *ROLLING EYES*)
○ MORE ACTION , I expected more action being this book (again) a Mystery PARANORMAL YA, MORE WITCHCRAFT just more but there was too little of everything and our heroine didn't even know how to do most of the spells, really dissatisfied.
○ How is POSSIBLE our WICKED PRINCES were so laid back?? The only comforting we get it's at the end when Envy shows a little devilness opening his brother up. They were too soft for a dark prince.
○ To be even more BRUTAL, the mystery was too obvious , by the 30-35% you already know who the killer is, who the mastermind is and who is the owner of the minor demons, Although that didn't bother me much, it's real that it does happen, so it's not a positive point.
But in overall, it's an okay reading if you have nothing better to do and if you like SEXY TATTOOED DEMON PRINCES. The book it's not that bad but it's just not that good either.

THEORY VS. REALITY
“They appear human but their ebony eyes are tinged red, and their skin is hard as stone. Whatever you do, you must never speak to the Wicked. If you see them, hide. Once you’ve caught a demon prince’s attention, he’ll stop at nothing to claim you. They are midnight creatures, born of darkness and moonlight. And they seek only to destroy. Guard your hearts; if given the chance they’ll rip them from your chests and guzzle your blood as it steams in the night.”
“You’re bloodthirsty demons. You’ve got red flecks in your eyes, your skin is like ice, you’re beautiful, and your kisses are addictive enough to make someone sell their soul for another." THEORY
“It’s nice to know you find me so attractive, but I’m not one of those demons. My eyes aren’t red. And if you’d like to find out if my skin is warmer than ice, that can easily be arranged.” REALITY

Emilia’s cornicello was made of silver, and Vittoria’s gold. The girls weren’t allowed to bring them together, or something terrible would happen. According to Nonna it would be like forcing the sun and moon to share the sky, bringing the world into an eternal twilight. THEORY
“Here,” she commanded, “take it.”
Emilia hesitated only a minute before clasping the golden horn in her palm.
A shimmering lavender-black light exploded from their amulets, startling Emilia enough that she dropped her sister’s necklace. REALITY
Happy reading you all!!! Hope you are all enjoying your books!! ❤💜
