5.0 out of 5 starsNew Favourite!!
Reviewed in Australia on 5 November 2020
Kingdom of the Wicked is my first book by Kerri Maniscalco and it definitely won’t be my last. The way everything was written, the descriptions, I honestly felt like I was in Sicily. Everything just flowed and there are no over the top explanations or descriptions, just enough to leave you wanting more.

I won’t give too much away but this is perfect for the spooky season. A witch looking for vengeance, dark and deadly Princes of Hell, murders, secrets and lies around every corner. Who will you trust?

My favourite parts of the book, besides the delicious food, was watching the slow friendship and building of trust between Emilia and Wrath. They were both hesitant of each of other, Emilia more so after being told numerous scary stories about the Princes of Hell, but after spending time together Emilia begins to see that not everything she’s been told about them are true. And the slow building romance was intoxicating, I wanted, no need more!

5.0 out of 5 stars A sweeping tale of witches and demons... I could not put it down!
Reviewed in Australia on 2 November 2021

From the moment I started reading Kingdom of the Wicked I just knew I was going to love it! I was immediately drawn in to a story of magic and danger, with witches living in secret among humans and cunning Princes of Hell intent on breaking long held curses.  
 
Emilia suffers an unimaginable loss and all hell breaks loose, literally! The gates to hell are weakening and demons are escaping. Emilia and her sister hold the key to strengthening the gates, if she can just work out how.  
 
The enemies-to-lovers romance aspect is super slow building and brings all of the angst and tension. Emilia and Wrath hate each other with a passion but as they say, it's a fine line between love and hate. I love the way their relationship plays out and the constant push and pull.  
  
If you are looking for something spooky, revengeful and gripping with a touch of tension filled romance, then definitely check this one out! I could not put it down!

4.0 out of 5 stars predictable but enjoyable
Reviewed in Australia on 17 August 2022

Loved it!
For a fantasy book the world building wasn’t too intense which was great. It has the right amount of angst, action and suspense.
I found it predictable but still enjoyable, Emilia wasnt too annoying which was also good because I usually find the FMC very annoying in the first book of a fantasy series.
I was hoping for a little more romance towards the end but I’ve been told that comes in book 2, so I am excited to see if anything develops with Wrath.
Im definitely looking forward to seeing where the rest of this series goes

- YA Fantasy
- Witches, hell, devil/demons
- Dark aesthetic
- Gory at times!
- Medieval
- Revenge seeking kick-ass female character
- Romance (possibly?) - enemies to lovers trope

Fav tid-bit: the romantic interest is the least of her concerns

Absolutely loved it. Have been re-reading passages since I finished and cannot wait for the next installment. Sexy and exciting and a bit scary. I instantly went and read all of Kerri's other books. She's a fantastic writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was everything I wanted from a book about witches
Reviewed in Australia on 27 October 2020
Emilia and Vittoria are witches and twin sisters who have been raised on their Nonna’s stories of demons and the ways they must always protect themselves from them. Emilia is too busy working in the family restaurant, pouring her heart and soul into cooking to really put much stick into her Nonna’s old stories. But when Vittoria doesn’t come home one night, Emilia discovers her body, with a mysterious stranger standing over her. Determined to avenge her sisters death, she goes looking for answers and finds more than she bargained for. Going against everything her Nonna has ever earned her about, she summons one of the Princes of Hell in an attempt to discover the truth about who is responsible for her sisters death.

This book was everything I wanted from a book about witches. It was eerily atmospheric and Kerri’s words flowed like water. I swear magic was swirling off these pages. Prince of Hell, Wrath was just…well, look, we’re all going to want our own Prince of Hell now, ok? Is he morally grey? Or is he just grey? We’re not sure. Emilie was just the right mix of strong and smart, if a little naive at first. I loved the way she took time to mourn her sister then became a vengeful force to be reckoned with.

This was the type of book I didn’t want to rush through, but couldn’t stop reading. I felt like it was whispering to me in the dark everytime I put it down. I am quite happy to hand over my soul for book two immediately.
