One For My Enemy: A Bewitching Urban Fantasy from the Bestselling Author of The Atlas Six

Product Information

There are a lot of characters to keep up with, but it’s pretty obvious early on who the two most important Antonova sisters are and, therefore, who the two most important Fedorov brothers are.

overall, i see why people did not like this book because it reads like a play with a character list, staging, and a random inventory list. i think if you enjoy the story of romeo & juliet and the remakes of it you will definitely enjoy this. even though i did not give this a five star i truly did love this book so much and my heart is forever w these characters ❤️‍🩹 I love this retelling! It was a captivating story full of love, heartbreak, betrayals, and spells. I can see myself rereading this over and over again! If you're a fan of Romeo and Juliet, this is a must-read! If I ever decide to give my heart to you, Dima, she’d said, holding his hand palm up, then cut it out of my chest and keep it somewhere safe, where no one else can get to it.”

Depends,” Marya replied, unfazed by Dimitri’s use of her own diminutive and clearly in no hurry to elaborate. Instead, she indulged a lengthy, scrutinizing glance around the room, her attention skating dismissively over Roman before landing, with some degree of surprise, on Lev. It's very subjective, but in my eyes, I did not view anyone as the villain. No character was written to be perfect, and they all shared individual flaws that made them so incredibly relatable. They were each selfish and greedy, but at the end of the day, despite their separate agendas and self-serving motivations, family, love, and loyalty always came first. One For My Enemy is a tale of ambition, sacrifice and legacy that’s high on Shakespearian level drama, betrayal, heartbreak and bittersweet insta-love (which, unusually, actually works). With forbidden romance, witchy politics and complicated family dynamics, it’s the perfect recipe for a beautiful tragedy. Another sensation from Blake.

One for My Enemy Quotes by Olivie Blake - Goodreads

I thought I was weak for you, Dima, but I was wrong. I'm Marya Antonova,” she told him, meeting his eye, "and I am loved by Dimitri Fedorov, and for that, I could never be weak." But I do wish the magic was explained a little more clearly, as I’m still not entirely sure how it works. First of all, let me talk about the writing, I found myself completely enthralled- THIS is the type of book that MAKES MY HEART SING! Did I adore this book and Olivie's writing mostly because I am obsessed with Masha and Dimitri? Yes. Absolutely. Forever. It was no whispered confession. It was no gentle murmur in the dark. It was the truth, plain and bare, and she wasn’t vulnerable for having said it. Instead, she wore her love like a shield,”I'd like to hear from an actual Russian, but the only great Russian-esque series written by a non-Russian appears to be The Bear and the Nightingale. Do not come here if you liked Shadow and Bone's wannabe Russian undertones. I’ve found before (when I was reading The Atlas Six) that while there are so many plotlines, nothing is happening. Dima,” Dimitri echoed, toying with the endearment as the large man beside Marya Antonova carefully folded her coat over his arm, as fastidious as his employer. “Is this a friendly visit, then, Masha?” I will always love you. I will love you until the day I die—and if you’re the one to kill me, then by all means, you should know without a doubt that you will not have turned me away. I will have spent the final beat of my heart loving you, just as I always have.”
