Summary

Two sisters.
One brutal murder.
A quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself…
And an intoxicating romance.

Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe – witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family’s renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin…desecrated beyond belief. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister’s killer and to seek vengeance at any cost—even if it means using dark magic that’s been long forbidden.

Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked—princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child. Wrath claims to be on Emilia’s side, tasked by his master with solving the series of women’s murders on the island. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems…

My review

Witches, Demons, I’m down. An epic mystery and murder? I’m down. Perfect book boyfriend? I’m down. Everything in 1 book? I’M IN LOVE! Emilia her sister is murderer and she is desperate to find out who did it and why. Wrath is one of the wicked (and an awesome book boyfriend, mind you) and he claims to be on her side. He fashions an entire wardrode for her, he is possesive but very, very protective and his scheming is absurd! Mystery solving on the way I devoured this book and I want all the books now. I want to read them, I want to claim them as mine. I want to know everything about Wrath and love and hate him as much as Emilia does. I want them to rip eachother apart and end up in the bedroom. Yes, I said that. I want that. I want it all. The way Kerri writes is truly amazing and I believe I have another 2 books to go ànd another series to read written by her. I’m out.
