Kingdom of the Wicked

By: Kerri Maniscalco

5 stars

Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are Streghe – witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family’s renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin, she's been brutally murdered. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister’s killer and to seek vengeance at any cost, even if it means using dark magic that’s been long forbidden. Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked, princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child. Wrath claims to be on Emilia’s side, tasked by his master with solving the series of women’s murders on the island. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems...

I can't put stuff into separate groups right now! The book is too good and I don't want to overanalyse it. This book is definitely a new ALL-TIME FAVOURITE! I actually mean that! Now let's start with a quote from the devilish Prince Wrath...

"One day you might beg me to kiss you."

Kerri Maniscalco is a genius! Who else thinks of turning the 7 deadly sins into hot, deadly, demon princes of hell? Best idea ever!

Let me just quickly talk about the other parts of the book before I start ranting about Wrath's hotness. The plot is very enjoyable and twisting (although I did guess the plot twist, I still liked it!). I really like Emilia, the main character. The writing is very well done and the vivid descriptions were so atmospheric. Also, the BANTER. PERFECT. BEST BANTER EVER! Emilia and Wrath's conversations where they not-so-subtly insult each other are amazing! Also, there were so many hot quotes from Wrath!! There was one amazing super spicy makeout scene, unfortunately only one though! However, the author has promised that book 2 is super spicy and sinful!! Also, Wrath's style is IMPECCABLE. The black suits *sigh*. And the CORSETED dresses he buys for Emilia!!! IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR A WRATH IN MY LIFE?! I am totally in love with Wrath! He is the hottest demon hell-prince ever! Lust and Greed were quite appealing too, but Wrath is definitely my favourite! He is SO HOT!!!!

If you don't believe me, look at this amazing fanart!
