Kingdom of the Wicked

You had me at a world filled with magical witches and demon princes! I was not disappointed! I could feel the gothic vibes of the world Kerri created in Kingdom of the Wicked and now I’m so ready to find out what Hell looks like!

Emilia finds her sister Vittoria murdered and is now on a quest to find out what got her killed. Emilia is such a great main character. Being very close to my sister helped me to relate to Emilia’s deep need to avenge her sister. She is a risk taker from the beginning when she fearlessly summons a demon. She definitely got a bit more than she bargained for though when she realizes the demon she summoned turns out to be Wrath, a prince of Hell himself. As Emilia uncovers each new clue she discovers the person responsible for killing her sister may be closer than she realized. She’s stubborn despite her fear when she finds herself face to face with more than one demon prince and each time she encounters them she learns something new about herself in the process.

Wrath. Oh goodness he’s swoony. He is mysteriously handsome and you know you shouldn’t trust him but you can’t help yourself because he’s so dreamy. He is bound to protect Emilia but little does she know just how deeply that bond goes. Wrath is full of secrets that lead to a very surprising ending. I can’t wait to see where this dark romance will lead to in the book.

I loved every minute of this wild ride and I am sad I have to wait so long to find out what happens next because the ending was jaw dropping! Emilia also grows so much from beginning to end and I’m curious to see what the next journey has in store for her! I definitely recommend this one to anyone and everyone! It’s delightfully dark and delicious!

Not as enthralling as other fantasy series’s debuts, but interesting enough that I’ll continue on to book two. The plot was fairly predictable but also quite scattered…riddle me that. I just didn’t connect with any of the characters, so we’ll see what book two brings.

Hmmmmm

Okay, I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it.

It felt like it was trying to be bigger than it was. And it also did that weird passing of time that didn’t feel like the passing of time.

However, I think the concept was there and will read the next entry.

Good! I am interested in reading other books in the series.

I love a murder mystery, with a mix of witchy vengeance. It was a good time. Emilia and Wrath are a hot mess, but the banter was fun. Although I may have wanted to throw a brick at Emilia from time to time, I didnt find her annoying. She just made decisions to keep moving and figuring things out as she goes. I can't wait for her to figure out her next move. I will definitely be continuing the series.
