Summary

A thrilling story of rival witch families in New York City， from New York Times bestselling author and internet phenomenon Olivie Blake。

In modern-day Manhattan 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 co-existence， 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。

I never have a bad time reading an Olivie Blake book and this was no exception。 One for My Enemy feels like a modern mashup of Romeo and Juliet， Russian mythology， and Practical Magic。 It has Shakespearean levels of melodrama， enemy families that are deeply intertwined， magical drugs， death that may or may not last， starcrossed lovers， and wonderfully vicious women。 It's a wild ride with lots of twists， complicated relationships， and big feelings。 If that sounds like your cup up tea I do recomme I never have a bad time reading an Olivie Blake book and this was no exception。 One for My Enemy feels like a modern mashup of Romeo and Juliet， Russian mythology， and Practical Magic。 It has Shakespearean levels of melodrama， enemy families that are deeply intertwined， magical drugs， death that may or may not last， starcrossed lovers， and wonderfully vicious women。 It's a wild ride with lots of twists， complicated relationships， and big feelings。 If that sounds like your cup up tea I do recommend it。 I had a great time with it， though occasionally the emotional drama was so over the top as to feel campy。 I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher， all opinions are my own。 。。。more

This is a loose retelling of Romeo and Juliet between two Russian criminal gangs of witches in the modern day。There are some major deviations from Romeo and Juliet and it does not follow the same plot beats as other retellings， but Olivie Blake certainly does not miss out on the romance， emotional trauma， and family strife that make all Shakespeare retellings so addictive。The prose is as beautiful and delightful to read as I have come to expect from the author， and， although her story telling is This is a loose retelling of Romeo and Juliet between two Russian criminal gangs of witches in the modern day。There are some major deviations from Romeo and Juliet and it does not follow the same plot beats as other retellings， but Olivie Blake certainly does not miss out on the romance， emotional trauma， and family strife that make all Shakespeare retellings so addictive。The prose is as beautiful and delightful to read as I have come to expect from the author， and， although her story telling is clearer in The Atlas Six， her romances in One For My Enemy are intoxicating and I hope to see Olivie Blake write more love stories of this nature as she refines her storytelling craft。I am giving this book four stars though， as I do have a few critiques。 The middle part was too long and convoluted with some plot points dragging out longer than necessary and other things that needed more explanation。 The Russian folklore is there， but it feels a bit surface level， although it does add interest to the book。 World building was also a bit lacking in places， but overall this is an incredibly crafted and stunningly written romance drenched in emotional trauma that will rip your heart to pieces only to stitch it back together over and over again。This book is emotionally devastating with shock twists and turns and Olivie Blake continues to demonstrate her ability to create distinct character voices in a multi POV book。Thank you to NetGalley and Pan MacMillan for this eARC in exchange for an honest review！ 。。。more

Romeo & Juliet is a stupid play。 Dying alongside the one you love is only noble if it’s for a reason， and if that reason is a stupid one then what in the hell was the whole point of it all？？ Therefore， by extension， I think Romeo & Juliet retellings will ultimately also suffer in that same way。 “I’m not here for a one-night stand， Sasha。 The story we’re writing？ It has chapters。 Instalments。 I don’t want once。”Am I happy with the way this book ended？ Well no。 I’m actually very confused by th Romeo & Juliet is a stupid play。 Dying alongside the one you love is only noble if it’s for a reason， and if that reason is a stupid one then what in the hell was the whole point of it all？？ Therefore， by extension， I think Romeo & Juliet retellings will ultimately also suffer in that same way。 “I’m not here for a one-night stand， Sasha。 The story we’re writing？ It has chapters。 Instalments。 I don’t want once。”Am I happy with the way this book ended？ Well no。 I’m actually very confused by the ending。 Maybe i’ll eventually come back and change my review because of it but we’ll see。 ”Sasha I swear to fucking god nobody will ever hurt you， I will never， ever let anyone hurt you， I won’t let them touch you， I’ll burn the world down myself before anyone ever lays a hand on you。”Anyway。 After reading all that ^^ you might think I disliked this book but no， not at all。 I just hate Romeo & Juliet as a concept。 This book was stunning， beautiful， and a work of art。 Olivie Blake has this way of writing that puts any romantic speech any of us mere mortals would say to shame‼️ If she writes it， you MUST read it。 I don’t make the rules， I simply follow them 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️ 。。。more

My favourite Romeo and Juliet retelling 🖤 the way Olivie writes an entire novel while making it feel like a play， with scenes carrying you through the story。 A love in death and a love in life — this was such a beautiful story and makes cliche tropes feel sweet and new again。 The book gives you everything you want while keeping you longing for it。

“I could have been enough if you had ever let me”4 ⭐️The story is about rivaling witch families， the Antonova and the Fedorov， feuding to maintain control of their criminal empires。 Empires that were built on the loyalty and heartbreak of the oldest siblings， Masha and Dima。 After 12 years of relatively “peace” ， the families are thrown into full war with blood being shed on both sides。 Uncover truths come to light that change the tide of the war and question the loyalty of every family member。 “I could have been enough if you had ever let me”4 ⭐️The story is about rivaling witch families， the Antonova and the Fedorov， feuding to maintain control of their criminal empires。 Empires that were built on the loyalty and heartbreak of the oldest siblings， Masha and Dima。 After 12 years of relatively “peace” ， the families are thrown into full war with blood being shed on both sides。 Uncover truths come to light that change the tide of the war and question the loyalty of every family member。 This book is not just a love tragedy。 It's a story that explores family dynamics。 From birth order to being raised a narcissistic parent。 Every character is unapologetically themselves， whether their moral grey or evil， its up for the reader to decide。 The story did leave off with open ended but if you want to be destroyed in the best way， I would definitely recommend！ I don’t recommend this in audiobook。 We do get multiple POVs and with the book being formatted like a play， I found it hard to follow and had to keep rewinding and pausing to make sure I understood correctly。 FULL DISCLAIMER: I received this audiobook ARC through netgally （thank you！！） 。。。more

3/5 StarsOne For My Enemy started off as a 5 star read but long it went the more I start to wish it would just end。 It was extremely to drawn out for the storying being told and could have a lot of it cut out and it would still be the same story

4/5⭐️A captivating retelling of Romeo and Juliet， which will leave you in despair （in the best way possible）。 Olivie Blake’s writing working miracles again， having me constantly hooked and in love with every single character。 “Write me a tragedy， Lev Fedorov，” she whispered to him。 “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。” - SCREAMING
