Welcome to Hell. As one might expect, deception, lies, and manipulation flow seemingly the lifeblood of the underworld and as she navigates through these unpleasant, although not unexpected, obstacles, Emilia finds herself encountering clue after clue that points her to unforeseen truths. More than just the question of her twin's murderer, she must unravel the mystery of herself. Who is Emilia di Carlo? And when all is said and done, will her strengthening alliance with Wrath impact her duty to her mission?
This novel was leaps and bounds better than the first. The character development as well as worldbuilding was exceptional and time after time I am wildly impressed by Maniscalco's talent at weaving the threads of an intricate mystery. At the core of it, that is truly what this book is and the execution there of was magnificent. However, one must be aware going into this of some of the mature content: there are many sexual encounters with rather explicit descriptions with both our main characters and unnamed characters in select settings. There are also many sexual comments made in conversation.
