Kingdom of the Wicked
Kingdom of the Wicked | Kerri Maniscalco
The #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco introduces her next blockbuster series, in which a beautiful young witch, a troubled demon, and a lush 19th century Italian setting come together to create a dark, intoxicating romance for the ages. Emilia and her twin sister Victoria are strega - witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Victoria never shows up for 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 out who did this, and to punish them. Wrath was the outlier among the seven demon brethren, always choosing duty over pleasure. So when ordered to find out who was killing off the young women who were to be his master's bride, he didn't hesitate. But upon meeting the fierce, desperate Emilia, it was clear this disturbing mystery would take a bewitching turn...

Okay, this one was a fun and entertaining read! Solid world building, an interesting magic system, with lots of tension and mystery and angst. And it leaves you hanging, with only part of the mystery solved, so… Emilia is a passionate heroine, who grows stronger and more determined as the story progresses, and her relationship with the demon Wrath is a thorny delight. Enemies to…slightly less angry enemies? I‘ll be reading the next, for sure.

⭐️⭐️⭐️½ Almost a 4 star read. The ending felt a bit murky for me but I liked the characters and want to see what happens next.

I didn‘t love this, but it was enjoyable enough that I would like to continue the series. I think I like her Stalking Jack the Ripper series better.

Loved this book! It kept my attention throughout the whole book, leaving me anxious to get into the next.
I listened to the audiobook, and it was VERY well done. The sound effects heighten the overall experience and put you right in the scene.

HollyBahling Totally agree about the audio. The eerie music makes it a full experience 12mo

I felt like this book was purely set-up material for the series; didn‘t delve too much into the action. I think the first book in a series should also be able to serve as a stand-alone without needing a whole series to support it. The setup made me intrigued to finish the series,though. I love the world/plot. I wish certain information was made more clear/was better mapped out so I wasn‘t left wondering if I was understanding everything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was the absolutely perfect cure to the hangover I had after finishing The Folk of the Air series.. I have heard good things, but I was surprised by the depth of the plot, characters, and magic system. It‘s the perfect mix of everything needed to make you forget about the bustling world we live in. Highly recommend

Managed to get one last book before midnight. The writing was a bit so-so and the characters weren't always well drawed, but I liked the worldbuilding and I want to see where the series goes next.

Neither of tjose things go very well 🤷‍♀️

Emilia & Vittoria are twin witches, raised to believe the folklore of the underworld & its inhabitants, the Wicked. But Emilia soon realizes those bedtime stories have become her nightmarish reality, when her twin is viciously murdered, her body left mutilated. Overcome with grief, Emilia finds herself in an unlikely alliance- engulfed in the very world she had been warned of her entire life… where she must sacrifice everything for vengeance.

BooksNBowls This series is soooo bomb!! I loved it! I‘m a sucker for the bad boy type and Wrath is just… 🤤 2y

Seen some people describe this series as romantic fantasy - not really getting that from this first book. This one is more about a young woman coming into her power, dealing with grief and trying to survive and protect those she loves.

A good solid fantasy with a particularly strong beginning.

This book was a bit slow to begin with but once the story picked up it was hard to put down. The only downside I had was some moments it felt like she over explained simple things and at times it felt like it was more a cookbook the way she explained every step and ingredient in some of the cooking moments but overall a pick and would definitely read again

Finally finished The Magpie Society. I really enjoyed this read, I didn‘t find it as eventful as some of the books I normally read but was definitely a pick in my opinion. I‘m hoping the next book will be more exciting

So now onto my next book Kingdom of the Wicked already on chapter 12 and I‘m loving it so far

I'm so grateful to be taking a few quiet days away with @Johanna414 and a few other good friends. We found a house in the country with a hot tub and a very comfy reading couch (not to mention pasta delivery to the house). I kept seeing this book on Instagram, so I grabbed a copy on my way out the door.

This book wasn‘t well written: I was annoyed at how it seemed to just repeat itself in the beginning. But somewhere along the way I became entranced. I have a few more complaints about little stuff (definitely feel like they could have pushed even darker with this one) but I have to rate this well since I‘m so invested in the story that I preordered book 2. “In the end, the monster we feared didn‘t come from Hell. He came from privilege.”

Librariana @LouBeth - I've been watching her for just a few years and I think she's just so inventive ? I hope you'll also check out her "What If..." series where she does characters in a different style (Little Mermaid in Tim Burton style or role reverses Disney princesses and villains) I'm glad you found her videos! 3y

This was kinda messy BUT fun. There's a lot of exposition. Details got tangled up, as though the author had SO many ideas she just shoved them all in. There wasn't a lot of world-building or reality...Emilia is 18 in a small Catholic town and she just runs around doing whatever she wants and no one questions it...but all that being said it was quick brain candy. I look forward to the next one...hopefully Kerri can get some details reorganized.

I really liked the worldbuilding in this one. Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are witches who grew up with a grandmother who constantly warned them about the Princes of Hell. Emilia seeks answers and vengeance after her sister is murdered and this leads her to one of those Princes. After the ending and the description of the next book, I'm absolutely going to read the next book.

This was my #DoubleSpin
