In a world in which dreams are guarded and nightmares are unsanctioned, one woman's unraveling mind may hold the key to everything the empire fears.

Review: Hexed

Hexed Hexed by Emily McIntire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Adding to my top 5 reads of this year.

I needed a full 5 days to write a review because the hole this book left in my heart was too large.

He's the prince of La Cosa Nostra. She's the witch who steals his heart.

I LOVED this one. I think out of the series, this has become my favorite. Enzo and Venesa were a perfect match. The depth and detail we got with every aspect of this book was *chefs kiss*. Emily McIntire really out did herself with this book. Each character grew in their own ways throughout. The mafia vibes were on point, and I think that was what really drew me in the most. We love an independent girly who knows what she wants, and we also love a morally grey mob boss who takes what he wants. Per-fec-tion.

- Mafia romance
- Insta lust
- Touch her / him and end
- Forbidden romance
- Bisexual FMC
- Forced proximity
- Plot twists
- Top tier spice
- He calls her “piccola sirena” (little mermaid)
