Two sisters.
One brutal murder.
A quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself…
And an intoxicating romance.
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… desecrated beyond belief. 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 that 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…

Mysterious. Gripping.
How am I supposed to wait until October to find out what happens next? I was expecting a thrilling ride when I picked up Kingdom Of The Wicked , but I wasn’t prepared for how much of an exciting ride it will be. This is the 2nd series that I have read by Kerri Maniscalco , and as you guessed, I am in love with her stories, her writing. I loved Stalking Jack The Ripper , and I had a feeling that I was going to love this one. Kingdom Of The Wicked was different and felt as it wasn’t as graphic as the first one was. I love books about demons, witches. Through the years, I have read multiple versions of witches and demons. I felt that Kingdom Of The Wicked portrayed demons and witches how they should be shown. From all the books that I have read, I never read a version anywhere close to this one.
Kingdom Of The Wicked isn’t an easy book to put down. When you’re sure that you found a good spot, something else happens, keeping you reading for hours. I lost count of how many times I have done that while reading the book. I did feel that the beginning had a slow start. However, once Vittoria’s body is discovered, that’s when things start to get more interesting. I cannot even begin to imagine what was going through Emilia’s mind at that moment, to find your sister that way... There were so many thoughts that were going through my mind when Emilia found her. The emotions that she was feeling at that moment; it was as if I was experiencing them too, the horror, the grief. I don’t blame Emilia for wanting revenge. I just hoped that she knew what she was doing when she decided to use dark magic.
I knew there was something different about Wrath, even though it was Prince of Hell. I couldn’t figure what was different about him, but I knew that there was something. Like Emilia, I didn’t trust him initially; after all, he is the demon. However, when he kept coming to Emilia’s rescue, I knew that he cared about her more than he cared to admit. The two of them were constantly arguing with one another, and that’s what made the story between the two of them exciting. I’m eager to see what happens next in Kingdom Of The Cursed , even if not sure if I can wait that long. I am excited to see what Emilia, Wrath will have to face next.
