I enjoyed the FMC, she was clever and wasn't constantly plagued with indecision. She was committed to her goal and wasn't going to let anything even morals get in her way.

Demon daddy best daddy but also the world building and power scaling and magic system seem like they can really be cool and well done. I'm excited to see where this goes. Great set up for a series. 

My first dark fantasy, this was also a murder mystery, filled with witches, demons, spells and magic. I loved the Italian backdrop and am fully invested in getting Emilia to figure out who killed her sister and see what happens in the underworld! 

I like the setup and premise. The mystery was fun, if a bit predictable. Don't read read this book when hungry, I kept wanting Italian food after every reading session! My biggest concern was towards the end I got confused on character motivations but hopefully that is explored in the next book.

I loved this book! It was mysterious, sexy, well written, dark, enemies to well enemies in this book, great banter, and hard to put down!

Overall: 4.5/5 stars 
Spice: 0.5/5 (kissing and some descriptive language) this ramps up in book two! 

The only reason I removed half a star was because the ending felt rushed. Other than then that unbelievably good read!  

I read this already once before and loved it then too. The re-read was just as enjoyable, especially this time as an audio.

Emilia's family are witches. They live and work in Italy, at a family run restaurant. Emilia loves to spend her time cooking with her family, coming up with new recipes and in her spare time, reading romance novels. But Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria have always been warned to keep their cornicellos on them at all times. But they must never be brought together. Other than one time when they were ten, Emilia and her sister listened to their Nonna, and never removed them from their person, or brought them together. But things are rapidly changing, and when Vittoria is found with her heart ripped out of her chest, Emilia will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of her sister's murder, even if that means summoning a demon to help her. What she doesn't count for is accidentally summoning a Prince of demons, instead of a lowly regular one. Not fully understanding the gravity of what shes done, Emilia embarks on a quest to get the answers she needs to make sense of this murder. She receives instead, more questions than answers, and further unravels a curse (or prophecy?) that she was unaware of at the start. Can she trust one of the seven Princes of Hell, to help her find what she is looking for?

I loved both Emilia and Wrath (especially Wrath). The setting was delicious and rich, and though the lore and ultimately the mystery/plot became a little muddled and confusing, I was still all in on this because their (Emilia and Wrath's) dynamic was addicting. I remember upon first read, I immediately bought the next two books before finishing this one, because I knew I wanted to binge the whole thing. That didn't happen at the time, though it is happening now. The audio, though one reader, is well produced with little added music occasionally, and the reader using difference voices for each of the characters. I liked this a lot, and can see myself re-reading this a few times.
