This Vicious Grace

By: Emily Thiede

Narrated by: Carlotta Brentan, Michael Gallagher

Her gift can save...or it can kill.

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?

Critic reviews

"Riveting, passionate and full of high stakes danger." (Tamora Pierce, number one New York Times best-selling author)

A must read book!

I can't think of anything bad to say about this book. I loved the whole concept surrounding it and also how well put together this story is. I can't wait to get started on the second book as this one ended on a massive clifhanger.
