The pacing in this book was all over the place, after a really gripping opening, and a fairly good first couple of chapters, the middle of this book SAGGED. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems…Īs usual, my biggest problem with this book is something you’re probably sick to death of me going on about….can anyone guess? Yes, it’s PACING. Wrath claims to be on Emilia’s side, tasked by his master with solving the series of women’s murders on the island. Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked-princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child. 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. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin…desecrated beyond belief. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family’s renowned Sicilian restaurant. Here is a short synopsis of the book:Ī quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself…Įmilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe – witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed by the end result, the book wasn’t as exciting as I was expecting and the worldbuilding was sparse and confused.
Still, when Kingdom of The Wicked was announced, I was super excited for it because a witchy fantasy that involved the seven deadly sins as Princes of Hell sounded really fun.
I enjoyed the series, though I definitely admit to being pretty disappointed with the final book in the series, Capturing The Devil. I discovered Keri Maniscalco with her Stalking Jack The Ripper series in 2019 and finished the final two books in the series last year.
