#BookReview: This Vicious Grace (The Last Finestra, #1) by Emily Thiede @ektwrites



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?

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!





⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book was an absolute delight! While there were a few minor things I would have tweaked, overall, it was a captivating and immersive read. The blend of Italian-inspired culture added such a rich and unique depth to the world-building, making the setting feel truly alive. The pacing was spot-on, keeping me engaged from start to finish, and the romance was utterly charming—sweet, slow-burning, and full of heart. What truly stood out, though, was the character development. Watching the protagonist grow and evolve throughout the story was incredibly rewarding. I’m already counting down the days until I can dive into the sequel!
