Hodder Paperback Kingdom of the Wicked: TikTok made me buy it! The addictive and darkly romantic fantasy

oh my...where do i even begin?i read the first page of this and i just knew i was going to love this. and i was not disappointed at all! the concept of this was just mind-blowing. i loved that this was based on the 7 deadly sins and the whole aspect of witches and magic and fantasy was brilliant. another detail i adored was the FOOD! kerri maniscalco put so much depth into that and made it a really big part of the main character, emilia’s, life and i really appreciated that. my favorite character has to definitely be wrath! i didn’t necessarily hate emilia but i did find her actions annoying and illogical at times. the world building was great and the plot was just spectacular and the pacing of this book was super fast and i just couldn’t put it down — there was never a moment where i felt bored. lastly, something miss maniscalco is brilliant at writing is romance. the enemies to lovers vibes, the tension, everything was PERFECT.also...can we talk about that ending because i am NOT okay after that. i need the sequel right NOW.

There is a small crease at the lower right part of the front cover of the book

Ordered it in hardcover, got a paperback… now I’m returning it for the hardcover cuz I payed more for it, obviously.Update: they kept sending me paperbacks so i got a refund instead

Everything about this book was perfect, the events of the book, literally everything in it is amazing. Definitely recommend if your into demons and dark magic kinda thing.

The Kingdom of the Wicked Series had me binge reading with a ferocity! I managed to get through all 3 books in a matter of 6 days and absolutely loved everything about it. For the sake of avoiding spoilers, I decided to review series as a set as to not give too much away.The series follows Emilia, a witch, who finds her twin sister brutally murdered on an altar in her hometown of Sicily. Emilia’s search for clues leads her to experimenting with magic she has been warned against by her family her entire life. In her attempt to summon a demon for information, Emilia summons the Prince of Wrath, one of the seven Princes of Hell who she begins to develop a conflicting attraction to. With the help of Wrath, Emilia gets closer to solving her twins murder, but begins to get pulled deeper into the court of the wicked, where there are secrets that may cost Emilia her soul.Emilia’s family owns a restaurant and the author’s connection with food recipes is integrated throughout the series, which I thought was a nice touch. The series takes place in both Sicily and within the seven circles of hell where the princes of Wrath, Pride, Envy, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, and Sloth make up the Kingdom of the Wicked. The world building within the court of the wicked and how each circle represents its assigned sin was one of my favorite parts in reading these books. There was mystery, spice, fantasy, and paranormal elements, all which are big wins for me as a reader. I loved Emilia’s character development and enjoyed seeing how fierce she became with each passing book. The author has a spin off, Prince of Sin series, set within the same universe which I will be moving onto shortly.TW: Murder, Grief, Death, Open Door

The world building is so good and the story is amazing. The scenes between the loves interest were also wow.

This is not the happy ever after type of book😝Vengeance, love ,Greed, envy, lust, pride and wreath are only part of the things our hero will faceThis is the story of a stronge girl who took the Metter of things into her on hands 💪And nothing will stand in her way to find her sister killer !not even her on heart ❤ 🤫🤩🤔

i didn’t expect to love this book so much, and WRATH omg dont even get me STARTEDD with him😩!! we also see the queen emilia she’s slowly turning into a baddie and i heard that she will go into a full baddie mode in the 2nd book, hopefully when im not broke i will get the 2nd book ASAPP!! miss kerri didn’t fail to serve✨💅🏻

Me encantó la historia, estoy esperando la segunda parte con muchas ansias. Wrath me robó el corazón por completo. En cuanto al envío del libro, llegó antes de lo esperado y en buenas condiciones. La portada es hermosa y el mapa me encantó.
