Allegra Agosti is dead.
She died five years ago, while her husband watched.But now she’s back.
Alive, unrecognizable, and colder than the girl she used to be. The girl who loved too deeply. Trusted too fully. Broke too easily.
And Enzo Agosti… He is not the man she remembers.His reputation precedes him. Beautiful. Lethal. Amoral. As do his conquests: every week he has a new stunning model on his arm.
So why, then, when he sees Allegra again, he looks at her like she is the answer to all his prayers?
Their marriage was once tragic obsession dressed as love. Now it’s longing sharpened into a weapon.
And no matter how much time passes, some things never change:
Allegra is the only person Enzo has ever loved.
But Enzo is the one person Allegra has vowed to kill.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. But every time Allegra and Enzo come together, they burn hotter than ever.
They circle each other with old hunger and new wounds—too angry to forgive, too bound to let go.
Yet only one outcome is possible: either she kills him first, or he teaches her how to love him again.
Green Eyed Devil is a DARK enemies to lovers romance. Parts were previously published in Morally Decadent.
Wretched is the one who loves but can never be loved back.
I first discovered Veronica’s writing with her Morally Questionable series (and loved Morally Corrupt. I have no idea why I never finished the series but when I saw that she’s revamping the books, I saw it as my sign. And one binge read later, here we are.
Now this is one of those books where you will need to fully suspend your disbelief and go on vibes only. Because if you can’t, this book is not for your, friend, and you will not enjoy it. However, if you like morally grey mafia men, dark themes and even darker details, with a splash of unrequited (or is it?) love, this is definitely a good time.
I devoured the first 65% of this book. I mean I binge read it until the break of dawn and I don’t remember the last time I did that. That deserves a star of its own. But I digress. The story starts in the present, where we meet our FMC, who everyone thinks is dead, including her husband.
After that, we spend the majority of the story in the past. We get to see how everything comes to pass; Allegra’s fateful meeting with Enzo and the absolute madness that her life becomes.
Now if you know me, then you know how much I love my fictional red flags. So is it any wonder that I fell head over heels over the emotionally constipated, quick to jealous rages, manipulative adonis that was Enzo Agosti? I think not.
Allegra and Enzo’s story is as toxic as it comes. Its obsession drenched in dark possession. And for everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) that Allegra goes through, she never loses her spark or her backbone. This is a woman who gives as good as she gets, whether it’s her husband, his toxic family, or her own. Now I will say that this book suffered from one too many villains. Like literally 85% of the secondary characters in this story are the literal scum of the earth. It didn’t need all that and at times it was almost too much and began to take away from the story. It became a distraction and a game of how much one person can go through and survive. I mean, remember when I told you to suspend your disbelief? This is why.
Both of the characters had many layers and the more that the onion was peeled back, the more I fell for Enzo. By the end of the book, I understood exactly why he was the way he was even when I wanted to hate him in parts of the book for the way he treats Allegra in the effort to keep her at arm’s length. I enjoyed Allegra’s character too, as well as her growth through the years.
The story spans over several years; from the time that they meet to 5 years later when she “dies”. The story is fast paced and action packed. And although it did feel too much was thrown in, it was still incredibly entertaining and kept me reading into the night. Though I did regret that decision after reading two of the most excruciatingly graphic torture scenes that I fear may live rent free in my head for the foreseeable future. But it’s a dark romance, so I didn’t exactly expect fluffy kittens and rainbow. However, I am slightly traumatized, not going to lie.
Anyways, this was an entertain, gritty and dark read that I definitely enjoyed. Was it perfect? No. But it hit the spot and it brought me out of my slump. So 4 stars for the vibes.

No one, and I mean no one, writes an MMC quite like KA. Do they all mostly sound the same? Sure. Do I care? Not even a little. This woman has a formula that is downright addictive when it comes to her characters, and I will never get enough of it.
