Dec 23 This Vicious Grace & Life

Thank you Wednesday Books for these gifted copies.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 was a wonderfully sweet debut, and I loved how it felt like a blend of fantasy and romcom.

🍋What appealed to you the most?

Everything! The plot, adventure, diverse cast of characters, the steamy romance, found family, and more! But what really stood out and gave me all the feels was the theme of connecting with others and supporting each other.

Oh! You have to read the quotes at the beginning of each chapter! I swear I tabbed all of them.

🍋How was the world building?

The world building was so easy to follow and I was immediately transported to an atmospheric new world.

🍋How was the romance?

Ugh, this was so addicting and the banter along with tension was the best! I could not get enough of the sweetness from both characters along with the forced proximity.

❤️‍🔥Steam level: Open door but no details

🍋How was the pace?

Fast! I stayed up late two nights in a row because I could not put this book down!

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Emily Thiede's exciting fantasy debut, This Vicious Grace, will keep readers turning the pages until the devastating conclusion and leave them primed for more!

Three weddings. Three funerals. Alessa’s gift from the gods is supposed to magnify a partner’s magic, not kill every suitor she touches.

Now, with only weeks left until a hungry swarm of demons devours everything on her island home, Alessa is running out of time to find a partner and stop the invasion. When a powerful priest convinces the faithful that killing Alessa is the island’s only hope, her own soldiers try to assassinate her.

Desperate to survive, Alessa hires Dante, a cynical outcast marked as a killer, to become her personal bodyguard. But as rebellion explodes outside the gates, Dante’s dark secrets may be the biggest betrayal. He holds the key to her survival and her heart, but is he the one person who can help her master her gift or destroy her once and for all?
