The Sunday Times bestseller.

One sister. Two sinful princes. Infinite deception with a side of revenge . . . Welcome to Hell.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco comes the sizzling and sweepingly romantic sequel to Kingdom of the Wicked.

With the enigmatic Prince of Wrath at her side, Emilia sold her soul to become Queen of the Wicked and travelled to the Seven Circles to fulfil her vow of avenging her beloved sister.

But the first rule in the court of the Wicked? Trust no one. And it quickly becomes clear that nothing in Hell is what it seems. Even Wrath, her onetime ally, may be keeping secrets about his true nature. But that suits Emilia just fine - she's got secrets of her own.

Faced with backstabbing courtiers, princes who delight in fear, luxurious palaces, dazzling galas, and conflicting clues about what truly happened to her sister, Emilia finds herself on a mission to unlock the mysteries of her own past and uncover the answers she craves.

As long as her sins don't catch up to her first . . .

*** PRAISE FOR KERRI MANISCALCO ***

A delicious and intoxicating new fantasy by a master of murder and mayhem ― Elizabeth Lim, author of Spin the Dawn

An intoxicating, tightly plotted feast for the senses ― Kirkus

A fast-paced adventure steeped in a luscious and dark world ― Chloe Gong, NYT bestselling author of These Violent Delights

KOTC is the paper and words embodiment of the fire emoji ... it makes for the most sizzling, intoxicating scenes. Sexy, smouldering and fuelled with a passionate rage befitting Wrath himself, Kingdom of the Cursed does something that not all sequels can do: it outshines the book that came before ― Culturefly

If there's one thing I know about Kerri Maniscalco, it's that she always delivers. A marked departure from the first book, this darkly beautiful, atmospheric seuel ramps up the steaminess and spice ― Culturefly --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Hot damn

This book was better than Book 1. More intrigue, plots, sexual tension and some steamy scenes between Wrath and Emilia.

Emilia's journey to avenge her sister morphs into a journey to find her true self. Liked the guessing game and still left hanging for some big answers around the curse, who/what she is, and what she is capable of becoming. I have a feeling she will make even the 7 princes of hell quake in their boots!

I really enjoyed it, and flew through the pages. Would recommend.

Here for the Emilia/Wrath banter only

Reviewed in Australia on 24 October 2021

That's basically it. Cliff-notes review:

> 70% Emilia/Wrath banter (delicious)
> 10% Plot (honestly kinda stupid, very predictable, and crammed into the last 50 pages)
> 20% Meandering and Emilia being annoying and dumb TBH (think "I'm going to do stuff" and then proceeding to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING)

FYI if you need/want trigger warnings look up some reviews which detail Chapter 17. I personally had no issue, however it's worth checking out if needed.

BASICALLY: Wrath carries this book and deserves the ultimate HEA in the finale. Can't wait.

The smut we all wanted but never got in book 1...

Reviewed in Australia on 7 November 2021

This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2021 so you could say I’m biased when it comes to this series.
I generally find it’s the little things in books that add layers and depth. Kerri’s use of food in KOTW was what won me over to the series. Not to mention it was set in Sicily (Italy is one of my favourite places in the world). The signature food references are carried through into this book, and can I just say I NEED a recipe book for this series!

Where the first book left me craving more of Emilia and Wrath, the second book delivered. The chemistry and spice between them went from 0 to 100. For anyone that’s absolutely not in love with Wrath by now there’s something wrong with you.

Where KOTW focuses on world building and character development, KOTC delves deeper into the character development of Emilia and Wrath. It’s also a deep dive into their relationship with the plot taking more of a backseat until the last few chapters.

The only bone I have to pick is with that cliff-hanger! I mean seriously Kerri, you’re killing me!
For those that have read KOTC you’ll know what I mean when I say I hope the next book picks up where this one left off.

This series is in my top reads of all time and I can’t wait to see where the story takes us next. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long.

Dark and twisted tale full of secrets and magic

Reviewed in Australia on 9 October 2021

Verified Purchase

So many revelations, false starts and deception that at times it is hard to keep track. Emilia is in Hell and lies and treachery are part of the game but being mortal is a game changer. Wrath has secrets of his own and they must decide to work together if they hope to survive the Prince's of Hell and their growing attraction to each other. There is never a dull moment, interesting imagery and engaging story.

Best read of 2021!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2021

Verified Purchase

I just finished reading Kingdom of the Cursed by Kerri Maniscalo and I don’t don’t what to do with myself! I’m absolutely wrecked.

It’s a decadent and pulse raising read filled with sizzling romance, deception and intrigue and I never wanted it to end. Like Kingdom of the Wicked, it’s beautifully written with such exceptional world building and descriptions that I felt I was travelling alongside Emilia as she experienced the Seven Circles.

The book starts immediately after book 1, Kingdom of the Wicked, as Emilia travels to the Seven Circles to become Queen of the Wicked after selling her soul in an attempt to solve her sister’s murder.

We see much more of Wrath (wink wink) in this novel and see his real, multi-faceted personality. All I can say is that Wrath is EVERYTHING and has made it into my tight knit harem of book boyfriends alongside Casteel, Rhys and Roth. Yes, there’s a dark haired bad boy with a heart thing going on there. Despite being a Prince of Hell, he treats Emilia like a Queen, encouraging and empowering her and always has her back, even when she’s pushing him away.

Emilia’s character really develops during this book as she takes charge of her destiny, embraces her wrath and doesn’t let anything get in the way of avenging her sister. Not even her sizzling chemistry with Wrath.

Kerri Maniscalo is the real Queen of the Wicked to leave us with THAT ending. I need book 3 NOW! All fantasy/romance lovers need this series in their lives!

That ending? Kerri, how could you…

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 October 2021

Ok, hang on..
That ending? I mean I guessed one part but the other part? 😳
In this instalment we’re in hell, literally. Emilia signed her soul away to Pride and Wrath took her straight home, his home.
Here is where she will await her husband to be to call for her.
But will he?
We follow Emilia on her hell discoveries and of course get to meet the other prince’s. Hell isn’t as she thought it would be and in fact she’s surprised to find a little beauty in it.
Her ‘enemyship’ with Wrath takes some interesting turns and some of the revelations from him about their ‘connection’ are satisfying for the reader.
Emilia faces all of hell with her head held high and as before she never backs down from a challenge. She grows with her power and in confidence and it was a delight to read.
Wrath, as annoyingly cryptic as ever, is a sweetheart when it comes to protecting Emilia. He’s one fierce demon prince and he will not tolerate anyone disrespecting hell’s new queen to be. But are his motives rooted in something more than just loyalty to his brother?
Does he just protect her simply because she will become queen?
We find out!
I loved this book, the story just ticked all the right boxes for me and I cannot wait for the next instalment.
And that cover though 😍
Stunning!

If i could give Kingdom of the Cursed more than 5 stars i would. I loved Kingdom of the Wicked but this one was even better. Kerri Maniscalco delivered big time. The story had everything i wanted: significant character development, supernatural beings, mystery, intrigue, plot twists and ohh boy.. a lot of steam. The built up tension between Emilia and Wrath had me coiled up tight from start to finish They had chemistry galore and their banter was priceless. I loved how their relationship strengthened, and the way they always pushed each other's buttons. Some secrets are revealed in this second installment of the series, and we discover there's much more to Wrath than meets the eye, but there's still much more to unravel and I can't wait to sew how the story will wrap up in book 3. I highly recommended this series to everyone loves fantasy and witchy novels!

Smoking hot and worth the wait

I devoured this in a day and a half, which was a shame as I've been waiting for it for months! We return to find Emilia in the kingdom of the wicked, trying to find her way through the rituals, figure out who to trust and make her own way in this new strange world. It was great to be back in the world! I did wonder why Emilia did some of the things she was doing, but it was a pacy, fun read with great chemistry between the two main characters. Can't wait for the next one.

Nothing happens. Boring

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2021

It was good, but I felt it wasn't very detailed etc and at times dragged abit. The fact that she just got (foreplay) all the time started getting boring after a few times. No action or anything. Let's hope book 3 is amazing. But book 1 is far better.
