Summary

In New York City where we lay our scene， two rival witch families fight to maintain control of their respective criminal ventures。 On one side of the conflict are the Antonova sisters， each one beautiful， cunning， and ruthless， and their mother， the elusive supplier of premium intoxicants known only as Baba Yaga。 On the other side， the influential Fedorov brothers serve their father， the crime boss known as Koschei the Deathless， whose community extortion ventures dominate the shadows of magical Manhattan。

After twelve years of tenuous coexistence， a change in one family’s interests causes a rift in the existing stalemate。 When bad blood brings both families to the precipice of disaster， fate intervenes with a chance encounter， and in the aftershocks of a resurrected conflict， everyone must choose a side。 As each of the siblings struggles to stake their claim， fraying loyalties threaten to rot each side from the inside out。

If， that is， the enmity between empires doesn’t destroy them first。

Romeo and Juliet as dueling witch families in Manhattan？ YES PLEASE。 I inhaled this book。 It was so good， beautifully tragic， and even though I knew where it was headed， I hung on every word。 Perfect。

3/5 - I liked it。 I am conflicted because there were times where I was really enjoying the book and then it got confusing。 I felt like a lot of it could have been cut down to help with the confusion of the conflict and plot。 Some of the characters were great: Sasha， Lev， Roma， Marya。 Their POVs were my favorite。

Thankyou to netgalley for the eARC。Poetic and lyrical， a complex web of intrigue and a cast of delightfully complex characters with equally complex relationships to each other。 Nods to Romeo and Juliet and russian folklore in an urban fantasy setting。 A refreshing take on how love takes many forms and how loving and being loved shapes you as a person。 Lost 1 star as I felt the pacing could have been slightly more even and I also wish we had more interactions with the other antonov sisters becaus Thankyou to netgalley for the eARC。Poetic and lyrical， a complex web of intrigue and a cast of delightfully complex characters with equally complex relationships to each other。 Nods to Romeo and Juliet and russian folklore in an urban fantasy setting。 A refreshing take on how love takes many forms and how loving and being loved shapes you as a person。 Lost 1 star as I felt the pacing could have been slightly more even and I also wish we had more interactions with the other antonov sisters because I love them！ 。。。more

"Write me a tragedy， Lev Fedorov。 Write me a litany of sins。 Write me a plague of devastation。 Write me lonely， write me wanting， write me shattered and fearful and lost。 Then write me finding myself in your arms， if only for a night， and then write it again。 Write it over and over， Lev， until we both know the pages by heart。”I need Olivie to pay my therapy bills。 Olivie Blake has yet again come up with something so beautiful that it destroys you。 I know MashaDima ruined me。 The story is a Romeo "Write me a tragedy， Lev Fedorov。 Write me a litany of sins。 Write me a plague of devastation。 Write me lonely， write me wanting， write me shattered and fearful and lost。 Then write me finding myself in your arms， if only for a night， and then write it again。 Write it over and over， Lev， until we both know the pages by heart。”I need Olivie to pay my therapy bills。 Olivie Blake has yet again come up with something so beautiful that it destroys you。 I know MashaDima ruined me。 The story is a Romeo&Juliet retelling。 Two rival families and love that is never fulfilled。 Writing as usual was impeccable and beautiful。 I'm an Olivie girl till the day I die， I've loved all of her that I've read and will continue to love anything she comes out with next。 Her writing style isn't for everyone but for me， it is everything。 It is poetic， it is beautiful and it makes you feel like your heart is getting ripped out of your chest。 The story is really fast paced and it's almost impossible to keep it down。 I usually don't read this fast but I just couldn't wait to read what happens next。 I stayed up till 5am finishing the first half of the book because it had plot twists after plot twists。 I had to keep the book down and ask myself "what just happened？" MULTIPLE times 。 This book just never stops giving。 It gave me everything I ever needed。 Characters:I love my SashaLev， I really do， but MashaDima ate unbeatable for me。 My love for Masha is boundless and nobody understands her like I do。 Eldest daughters who sacrifice everything for their families and siblings？ YES！ SashaLev are super cute and their love is very modern day romance， with all the texting and dates。 It almost reminded me of my relationship。 Lev on text though cute， I know I would have blocked him。 Sasha's stronger than me but I guess that's his charm。 I love how gentle and loving Lev had been from the start。 They are both babies who were mostly untouched by their family's rivalry， who ended up finding love in each other。 There's a scene when there's a plot twist and Lev is in Sasha's arms and she's unable to say something。 For that， Olivie， I thank you。 I love when I'm caused so much pain I can't stop crying。 Love that。 Masha， my Masha。 “She was as captivating as fear， as undeniable as hunger， and he had loved her then—and loved her now—for all the tremor and the fury that she was”Their love was so strong and it had been through so much over the years and the course of the book that I could feel it through the pages of the book。 They are one couple that made feel so many things all at once。 The way Dima talked about Masha， how he described her， how their love was described， it made me weep because it was just that beautiful。 Masha had sacrificed so much for her family， she had given up everything and Dima understood that。 Dima knew everything Masha gave up and was ready to give up for her family and for that， he loved her more。 He loved her for her heart， he loved her for everything she was， and only he saw her for everything she was。 Their love is something I'd not be getting over anytime soon。 They are everything。 “Had anyone ever given Marya Antonova as much as she had given them？ He suspected the answer was no。”The ending was just as I had wanted it to be。 It caused me pain but I loved every second of it。 Please pick this book up if you want to feel pain and be happy about it。 。。。more

I realize this may be somewhat controversial - given how many authors and tried to modernize the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet - but I think Olivie Blake may have upped the R&J story for a new generation。 One for My Enemy is the story of familial bonds， romance， tragedy， and grief。 Add in a modern New York setting， families steeped in Old World traditions， and witchcraft， and you have the story of the Antonova and Federov families。 the seven Antonova sisters - daughters of the fabled Baba Yaga I realize this may be somewhat controversial - given how many authors and tried to modernize the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet - but I think Olivie Blake may have upped the R&J story for a new generation。 One for My Enemy is the story of familial bonds， romance， tragedy， and grief。 Add in a modern New York setting， families steeped in Old World traditions， and witchcraft， and you have the story of the Antonova and Federov families。 the seven Antonova sisters - daughters of the fabled Baba Yaga- were raised to loathe the three Federov brothers - sons of Koschei the Deathless。 Unfortunately， familial loyalties can't always overpower the pull of the heart， and should it， really？4。5 rounded to 5。 Thank you to Macmillan Audio， Tor Books， Olivie Blake， and NetGalley for a copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
