Now if there’s one thing miss Kerri Maniscalco is always gonna do...it’s write a good romance. I truly ate this entire book up, so if you’re looking for an atmospheric read filled with witches, hot demon princes, and other paranormal creatures in order to get you into the fall/spooky mood...read this book ASAP.

The first few chapters did take me a while to get into, but as soon as I finally got a hang of the writing and the world, I literally flew through this. I definitely think the story could’ve been paced out a bit better as well, but since I received the physical arc of this book from the publisher, I honestly don’t think it’s gonna be much of an issue in the final copy.

I just KNOW the second book is gonna be everything I need and more...HOW am I supposed to wait to see more of wrath and emilia!?

Actual rating: 4.5/5

"Kingdom of the Wicked" by Kerri Maniscalco is a story about a young woman who's revenge sends her straight into the arms of demons. 

Emilia is the quiet twin. Where her sister sneaks out and parties, she stays in with a good book or busies herself coming up with new recipes for their family's trattoria. That is, until she stumbles on Vittoria's body who is the latest victim of a killer targeting Palermo's twelve witching families. Her twin's death and the grief that follows transforms her as she becomes more daring and driven. The more Princes of Hell she encounters, the more her desire for vengeance grows into an all consuming emotion. Even though Vittoria dies early on, Emilia's character is well established enough that the effects of her grief are startling. Her journey is interesting and well done, adding complexity to her character as she struggles to understand and handle her newfound desires. In fact, the closer to Wrath she gets, the more these come out. A subtle way this come out is the clothing, specifically Emilia's outfits. In the beginning, Emilia strives to be comfortable, specifically choosing that quality in her dresses, she also rejects the clothes Wrath offers her because of this. As her determination grows, she turns towards more elaborate and darker outfits. 

Wrath is an interesting character. All her life, Emilia's been warned away from the Prince of Hell, but he's never dangerous towards her but, even when she attacks him, he's civil (if a bit sarcastic). The more we get to know him, the more his aloofness hides away a deeper, more complex personality. His growing closeness to Emilia inevitably brings this out as they play off each other. Meanwhile the enemies to friends dynamic they have going on is so deliciously complicated and good.

When it comes to relationships with secondary characters "Kingdom of the Wicked", isn't at the top of its game. Emilia's relationship with her family is very important in the beginning of the book, but the more the book progresses, the more it drops off the radar for no obvious reason. I found that to be disappointing given how much its emphasized early on. 

Maniscalco's use of the 1st person POV gives the audience a one sided view of the story. However it also allows her to really centre the plot around Emilia's grief, which works really well. I found the plot to have a good pace, it starts out slow and picks up the pace the closer it gets to the climax, and kept me engaged throughout. 
The writing in general is really good. It's full of metaphors and descriptions, but it only adds to the magic of the story as they're not so abundant that they bog down the text. For example, Emilia's family has a restaurant and the cooking features heavily in the first few chapters, helping to build the scene. 

I did find the worldbuilding a bit lacking in some respects. The Princes of Hell, and their kingdom is described in detail, with customs and history adding to the world. However, there's very little information on the witching families or how magic works, beyond the interactions between the witches and the demons. I liked what Maniscalco has given us and I wish there had been more, especially given the fact that Emilia is a witch rather than a demon. 

All in all, I really enjoyed "Kingdom of the Wicked" by Kerri Maniscalco. It's a fascinating story that I will definitely be continuing in the sequel!

This was the first book I read by Kerri Maniscalco. I've heard amazing things about her books and I was really excited about this one. This was one of my highly anticipated of the year and it did not disappoint.

The writing was so easy to get into. I was really interested from the start. I wanted something intriguing and a little dark and this was perfect. I felt like the story started immediately. I was hooked from the very beginning. I was also really eager to see how this story would unfold and so I just kept reading. I loved how immersed this book made me because I read 200 pages in one go. It was just so easy to read this one in one sitting.

The story was very interesting. I also thought the pace was perfect. I never felt bored because there was always something happening. The further into the story I got, the more I wanted to read. The setting was so atmospheric. I love that everything had a touch of dark to it.  This is definitely a perfect read for October! There's also a lot of mentions of food so prepare to be very very hungry.

There was also the intriguing appearance of the seven princes of hell. I love a story that can bring in the seven deadly sins, and Wrath was obviously a favorite.  He was broody and a little bit of a cinnamon roll and I loved that. He has a sense of humor from time to time and his fair share of secrets. I also love books with demons so. Emilia was also an interesting character. Wasn't so sure how I felt about her at first but I quickly enjoyed trying to solve the books mystery with her, and I loved watching her grow and fight too. This mystery kept me guessing for a good while and I definitely enjoyed the mystery mixed with fantasy in this one.

I enjoyed this one so much more than I even expected. I guessed a few things that happened but overall I really liked this one. The ending really made me excited for the next book. I hope you'll be picking this book up soon!

This will be a spoiler free review. Thank you to JIMMY Paterson and Book Terminal Tours for the chance to read this early and help promote it! Make sure you check out the other tour stops for Kingdom of the Wicked! If you’re excited for this book, make sure you go pre-order, request at your library and add it on Goodreads! 

Where do I begin?
Once again Kerri has me falling in love with the male love interest. I mean, how can you not love Wrath? I think it’s impossible. 
With the way this book ends, I can’t even fathom what’s to come next, other than Emilia is going to be raising some hell…
I’m getting ahead of myself. I’ve only just finished the book and I’m still very much caught up in it. 
I’ll be perfectly honest – I was a smidge wary going into this book. I’m a huge SJTR fan and that series is one of my all-time favorites. So, my expectations for Kingdom of the Wicked were high and my excitement was through the roof. When I found out that I was going to get a chance to read this early – I freaked out. Like, threw my phone with excitement and just about started. Vibrating with anticipation, anxiousness and excitement. 
Kerri really doesn’t disappoint with this book. It’s engaging, keeps you turning the page – I read it in roughly one sitting – so it’s a quick read. Emilia isn’t who I thought she was going to be upon meeting her, and I thoroughly enjoyed her arc in this book. I’m really curious to see what kind of havoc she’s going to reign in book 2. 
I really loved the world. I must’ve missed the part in the synopsis that set this book in Italy/Sicily – I’m not complaining, I loved it – but I was a little surprised when I started reading. It was so vibrant and easy to imagine. Though, to be fair, I’ve been to Italy, so I kind of already understood the vibe. I loved the restaurant and the moments of Emilia thinking of recipes. I loved how she viewed the world and how she navigated it – how she was quite to her sister’s louder personality. I also really loved how progressive they are – though that doesn’t feel like the right word...
I wasn’t expecting Vittoria to be so forward, or for Emilia to be. Don’t get me wrong – I didn’t have a problem with it. I’m all for Upper YA books. Give me more. 
And then there’s Wrath. 
Give me a dark prince who is misunderstood by humans and I will instantly fall in love. Hands down. 
Hook, line and sunk. 
I knew I was going to be done in by Wrath before I even started the book. 
I love when dangerous characters – take a Prince of Hell, for example – are very dangerous, but they’re written in such a way that lulls you into a sense of security. Until BAM you’re reminded that oh, they aren’t good…they might appear to be cinnamon rolls, but they really aren’t. They get bonus points for when they’re inexplicably bound to a human and/or develop feelings for said human. 
I’m so easily pleased. If an attractive, moody and broody Prince of Hell showed up at my door, I’d be done for. Gone. You’d have to come visit me on my throne in Hell. It would take a shockingly small amount of convincing. 
As for the ending – which I enjoyed – I didn’t really expect the big reveal. I thought the book was going to go a different route, so when that character showed their true opinions, I was pretty surprised. And I’ve already said it, but I’m really curious to see what’s going to happen with book 2. I can already tell that Kerri is going to take us on a wild ride, and that we probably shouldn’t discount the length’s Emilia is willing to go to, to avenge her sister. 
I definitely recommend picking this up when it comes out – I really don’t think you’re going to want to miss it. It makes you crave Italian food like there’s no tomorrow, but otherwise it’s so good, enjoyable and you get to meet Emilia and Wrath – he alone should be enough to make you pick up this book.

Thank you to the publisher for gifting me an arc in exchange for an honest review. 

As seen in Kerri Maniscalco’s other series, Stalking Jack the Ripper, she has a way with writing the first line where it is able to draw me into the story immediately! I am in awe of her writing style. This story flowed very smoothly and I wasn’t confused during any part. I liked the magic system and the world was set in a place I was familiar with. I didn’t have to learn any complicated names or places, which is a plus. I also really liked her creation of the Princes of Hell. Each based on a different sin was very interesting. I also liked that we were able to follow a couple of them throughout the story. I’m looking forward to meeting more in the next book. I think the characters were written very well and both liked and hated them at times (in a good way). I think Emilia, our protagonist, developed well under the circumstance of her sister’s murder. She grew more confident with herself and her powers. Unfortunately, I was able to guess who the murderer was but I still liked the clues and the chase in the story. Lastly, Maniscalco definitely did her research on Italian food, because the whole time I was reading it, I was hungry and craving true Italian food. Great job at making me hungry. Overall this book was insanely good and I’m very excited for the next book.

Rating: 4.5 stars

This book was wickedly delightful read filled with magic, murder and mystery!

Emilia and her twin sister have been hearing warnings from their Grandmother their entire lives to beware the Princes of Hell. As witches they have ensured that they take every precaution from monthly rituals to staying indoors on certain nights. Emilia doesn’t quite believe all the stories her Grandmother tells them until the night her sister is murdered. As she attempts to find the culprit she instead finds herself working with Wrath - one of the Princes of Hell.

Emilia is a fantastic heroine.  She’s intelligent, determined, and loyal. I LOVED the interactions between Emilia and Wrath. Being forced to work together makes their relationship start with a lot of tension and it just builds from there. They seem to drive each other crazy and its so entertaining. For some reason these two reminded me a lot of one of my favorite book couples - Tella and Dante from the Caraval series. I cannot wait for the sequel and more of this story!

I simply could Not put this book down. Kerri Maniscalco has a gift with bringing words to life. Making it feel as though you're there. 

And always giving us tall handsome men 🥴 

I totally guessed who the bad guy was which was surprising because in her SJTR series I could not. 

I am also intrigued to see where she goes after that ending because I'm shook.

This has been a highly anticipated novel for me this year. I absolutely LOVE Kerri Maniscalco’s Stalking Jack the Ripper series, so when I heard about a new book of hers I was pretty pumped. I had totally forgot I requested this on NetGalley, as it took the publisher a while to get back to me. I received the approval email the day after my birthday, and it was such a great surprise! I ended up starting the book on my lunch break that same day!

Emilia is a witch, along with her twin Vittoria. Vittoria is the more bold, courageous of the two, while Emilia is more reserved. When Vittoria is found murdered, Emilia must find the courage within herself to track down her twin’s killer. This puts her on the radar of the leaders of Hell, and sends her down a path of discovery about the heritage of her family and of all witches on her island.

I liked Emilia, she was so sassy. She at one point says that, unlike her sister, she would rather curl up with a blanket at home reading a novel instead of going out and partying. Why is this me??? She’s obviously pushed out of her comfort zone while trying to track down a sadistic killer, but she definitely makes the most of it. She is strong, resilient, and determined, and as she proves time and again, it takes a lot to keep her down when she is passionate about something.

I was very intrigued about Emilia’s relationship with Wrath. They are very clearly enemies being thrown together to find the serial killer, and you know I love the enemies to lovers trope. Demons and witches have been on opposite sides for generations, so neither is very happy with their forced arrangement. Wrath is a bit of a conundrum for me. We get to see a bit of a character arc for him, but he is still very much shrouded in mystery. I’m hoping we’ll get to learn a lot more about him in the second book.

The underlying plot of the story was a murder mystery, so as you read and learn more facts, you can start to assemble the bits and pieces together. I don’t want to say I completely guessed who the killer ended up being, but I did start to have my suspicions towards the end. It definitely didn’t end up being black and white, however, and there is undoubtedly more to the story.

Overall, I really enjoyed Kingdom of the Wicked and rate it 4.5/5 stars! I could see this series being a new favorite, and now I just have to wait longer for the next installment! I definitely recommend you pick this up when it’s released on October 27th!

“Maniscalco’s Kingdom of the Wicked is brilliant.  Delicious as it is magical Maniscalco will have you ensnared from the beginning to end.” Cecelia Beckman, Sheaf & Ink

This book was so good!

I couldn’t put it down.  From the prologue to the opening chapters I was instantly drawn in.  The lore Maniscalco creates is fascinating.  A combination of the old ways, Pagan beliefs of witchcraft verses Christianity and the fall of Lucifer, Maniscalco uses these threads to weave together a tapestry that is uniquely her own.  While also including a murder mystery, a driving force of the story.  

She builds and scaffolds a vividly rich world filled with magic inherently elemental.  Our senses besieged by the delicious foods Emilia and her family prepares for their family owned restaurant Sea & Vine.   This marrying of food and earth magic is intoxicating.  Creating a hunger, a need, of wanting more.  

Using the seven deadly sins as actual Fae Demonic Princes, who hold court in Hell, is utterly captivating.  We meet a select few of said Princes, who find their way into the human world.  Wreaking havoc in their wake, like a hurricane destroying anything in its path, while using their talents to ensnare Emilia and gain what they most desire: power.

But, Emilia is a force of her own.  She leads with a strong voice having no scruples in staying alive and keeping her family safe.  Determined, clever, and filled with a rage that is equal to that of her Demon Princeling, Wrath.  Emilia will be placed as a favorite badass female character among the YA pantheon. 

Maniscalco has sharpened her craft of storytelling.  A true master of mystery and thrillers, in Kingdom of the Wicked she blends the two with dark fantasy, making for a satisfying read. 

Wielding her pen, Maniscalco creates a harrowing tale that is splattered in blood, darkness and shadows creeping in like spilt ink, and a romance that you cannot get enough of.  Gorgeously crafted, with a breathtaking attention to detail, this is a story you won’t want to miss.

Readers will devour Kingdom of the Wicked in a handful of days, if not hours.  Packed with razor sharp teeth, devastating betrayal, and an ending that will tear your emotions into ribbons!  Make sure to pick up this book and be prepared to experience every emotion.

Happy Reading ̴ Cece

This is a book filled with twists and turns, secrets, deaths, demons, and witches. If this doesn't make you add this to your tbr list, I don’t know how to convince you otherwise.

Set in Sicily, Italy, we meet our protagonist, Emilia di Carlo, who is a witch that secretly lives among humans. She has a twin, Vittoria, who is also a witch. Emilia is the introverted one while Vittoria is the more adventurous one and isn’t too careful about keeping their identities hidden. One day, Emilia stumbles upon her sister’s bloody, dead body. Emilia swears that she will find the killer and get revenge.

Emilia starts by finding out the secrets that her sister has been keeping from her. One of the secrets that she finds out about is that her sister used a demon summoning spell. To really find out if this is true, Emilia tries it out for herself. She successfully summons a demon, expecting it to be a lower-level demon, but instead, she accidentally summons a demon prince, Wrath. There are seven demon princes, but the di Carlos should only fear Wrath, Greed, Envy, and Pride. When Wrath claims that he wants to help Emilia, should she ignore the stories that she has been told when she was younger or try to find this killer by herself?

When you start reading this book, don’t start on an empty stomach. The talk of food in this book makes me drool. The setting is amazing. I love the creepiness and the mysteriousness of it.

There were so many plot twists I couldn’t guess (well, except for the killer). I could not stop reading. I think this book took me a day to read. Honestly, I don’t think the plot was that good, but I loved the setting and the banter between the characters. I love the romance. It’s enemies to lovers (my favorite trope of all time). I didn’t get as much romance as I wished for, but I’m sure there will be more in future books.

I didn’t really enjoy the writing though. I felt as if I was being told the story instead of experiencing it. There was a lot of running back and forth in this book that I found to be really annoying.

I’m worried about the sequel(s?). I really liked Stalking Jack the Ripper, but the sequels weren’t that great…with that being said I will definitely pick up the sequel because of that ending.

Something that I noticed while reading is that this kind of reminds me of House of Earth and Blood. Please don't kill me for this and not read this book because you didn’t enjoy House of Earth and Blood or SJM. It isn’t the writing, romance, or characters of Kingdom of the Wicked that reminded me of House of Earth and Blood, it was the folklore about Hell and demons. I haven’t read much about this type of folklore so this was the only connection I could make. If you enjoyed House of Earth and Blood’s folklore (and Aidas), you need to read this.

Thank you to the publisher, JIMMY Patterson, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC. All opinions are my own.

*I received an ARC from Jimmy Patterson Books for an honest review.*

I loved this book! This has been one of my most anticipated reads this year, and it did not disappoint. Kerri Maniscalco has another hit on her hands. 

Kingdom of the wicked follows Emilia di Carlo, a streghe or witch, and her mission to find her twin sister’s murderer. To do so, she tries to summon a demon. Emilia accidentally summons Wrath, one of the seven Princes of Hell. 

Emilia reluctantly accepts Wrath’s help and together they try to solve the murder. Along the way, Emilia meets some of Wrath’s brothers. Each meeting leaves her more worried about the shaky alliance she’s formed. The more she learns about the Wicked, the more Emilia doubts what she knows to be true. 

Death and destruction seems to follow Emilia like a shadow. She has to decide if she can actually trust Wrath or if she’ll have to finish her task alone. 

This is such a wonderful atmospheric book. I loved the setting and the character building. This book definitely left me wanting more and I cannot wait for the next installment.

The last book that I read by Kerri Maniscalco left me with a sour taste in my mouth. So, as much as I was intrigued by the synopsis in this novel, I was also incredibly wary. .

As a reader, I love it when a writer manages to create a world in which it is easy for me to become immersed. And if there's one thing that this story excels at, it's that. The setting comes alive from the very beginning, and I became deeply entrenched in this magical world that Emilia, our lead, and her family has. From their history, to the powers that are part of their familial bond—which, in and of itself, is a lovely thing to see depicted in any tale to such depth—to the the way that they worship, and the enchantments that they create, to the food that they eat... The Kingdom of the Wicked is a thing full of life waiting to be unleashed.

Which brings me to our male lead, Prince of Hell, Wrath.

I was not a fan of the initial encounter between Emilia and Wrath. It was a bad first impression. I found her behavior to be rightfully irrational, considering that her sister had just been murdered and she, of course, has Wrath in her sights as a culprit. But she goes from acting justifiably irrational, to summoning him, to forgetting the fact that this is a Prince of Hell and some sort of fear would be instilled in anyone knowingly coming face to face with him, to attempting to pummel him with her tiny fists in puerile rage, to folding her arms and sniffly taunting him. Because as likable as Emilia can be, she sometimes shows hints of being the kind of person who is a little delusional about her abilities. I can easily picture her facing a horde of demons, most likely about to be ripped apart—I mean, given what he Umbra were able to do to Wrath, how in the world would she survive that—and still be completely confident that she can defeat them all. It comes off as ridiculous posturing, and instantly put me on edge to think that this would be another vapid disappointment.

Thank my lucky stars that things evolved and Emilia got her head on straight.

Wrath is, in one word, delectable. Given his role, this is a male who is supposed to his show his force wherever he goes and not easily bend his will. What I liked most about him is that while it is obvious that he feels some sort of softness toward Emilia—whatever his reasons may be, I myself am still guessing them even after some truths were exchanged—he does not change his personality and stop being the ruthless being that he has been for so long. You clearly still see the edge to him, he still has a bite to him, and I like that whatever personal thoughts he has towards this witch who's now in his life, they do not shift his purpose.

The story itself is entertaining, interesting, and has enough mystery to keep you hooked. I do feel that certain scenes were slightly rushed and sometimes even skewed (such as the ending of the second to last chapter and the beginning of the last, one segued into the other a bit abruptly), but the book is overall great, and I do not want to miss what's to come.

This story just keeps spinning in my head. What kind of sorcery is this?. I wanted to read as quickly as possible but I couldn't miss the detailed descriptions, full of flavors and aromas, each paragraph was part of an illustrated puzzle that left me wanting more.
.
This book has everything that a good magic story should have, each plot and objects have their foundation giving a lot of sense and logic to each step of Emilia. Finally as this character changes and grows it makes it feel very difficult to leave the book behind. Literally, I think I'm going to do a new rereading.
.
 I hope the second part arrives very soon, I can't wait to see what happens and feel that mixture of flavors and aromas illustrating each page so deep in italian roots that makes me feel the taste of the Nonna dishes.
.
As an avid reader of historys of witches and sorcery I could not be more satisfied. I am very grateful to #NetGalley, Jim Patterson and Kerri Maniscalco for letting me read #KingdomoftheWicked before it goes on sale this October 27, I really don't think there is a book that deserves to be read more this month, October is the perfect timing for.

Thank you NetGalley for a free eArc in exchange for a honest review!

First off, I’m obsessed with Kerri’s writing! She’s very dark and mysterious which is perfect for this October release! The characters were intriguing and make you fall in love with the story. Wrath was my favorite by far. 

I did find this book very predictable and a little rushed around with the plot. I wish she dived into the storyline a little because at times it was too convenient and iffy. I still loved the story and can’t wait to see where the second one leads us!

I wanted to love it, I really did.  But in the end I was just confused.  The first 2/3 of the book were intriguing and suspenseful but the last third was a combination of predictability and confusion.  Overall, I still enjoyed it and it was a great October read. I am also craving Italian food after all this delicious descriptions of the food Emilia and her family serves in their restaurant.

I had to take a few days before I could review as this book literally stole my soul. Kerri is a master with thrilling plots and characters that take my breath away. 
Vittoria and Emilia are set up so perfectly that you can easily see their similarities and their differences to understand their actions as the book progresses. 
The Princess of Hell.... well I will just say that I will sign any of contracts for the ones that we meet in an instant. Even the more evil of the brothers. They were each written beautifully that you understood who E was dealing with in an instant and just made all my love for bad boys bubble up to the surface. 
Plot wise, it was twists and turns and me grasping my boyfriend’s arm in fear for the characters all over the place. I fell in love with everyone instantly and their trials tugged at heart strings. 
I’m off to go put this book in everyone’s preorder carts so that I can find myself a Prince of Hell. Thank you for the advance copy, I can’t wait for my two preorders of hardcovers to arrive so I can display and reread along with Kerri’s Jack the Ripper series.

This was a the perfect read to kick off October! We get witches, demon princes, curses and curiosities, all under a rich Sicilian backdrop. Bellissima oscurità! 

This was a deliciously wicked fun read. It enchanted from the very first page and wouldn't let go until the very end. And what an ending that was! It will be torture to wait for the sequel. 

I think an astute reader will see some of the twists coming but have no fear there's still enough excitement to keep you on your toes and everything else is charming enough that you won't mind having guessed a bit of it earlier on.

It took me a little bit to really warm up to Emilia fully but I quite enjoyed watching her become a force to be reckoned with. Wrath was interesting but I feel like we didn't get a good look at his motivations or feelings, he wore it all close to the vest. I'm hoping to see Emilia continue to grow and become fearsome in her own right and get a chance to form a deeper appreciation for Wrath. 

This was a great setup to what I hope will be a grand series with much more to discover. While I wait I think it's time I start the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. I need more by this author right away!

This book comes out on October 27th, and I am buying it for everyone. 
WHAT. A. RIDE. 

This story is set in 19th century Italy and follows a Streghe witch coming into her own power.  Emilia finds the body of her twin sister, Vittoria, one night and all hell breaks loose (kinda!).  Emilia is on a quest to find out WHO killed her sister and what is happening in her city.  To do this, Emilia turns to something forbidden - dark magic.  She summons a demon, who just *happens* to be one of the seven  Princes of Hell.  The demon she summons is Wrath, which like, hello - fitting because she is mad as all hell about her sister getting killed! Wrath had been given the responsibility to find out who is murdering women on the island.  Do they work together?! What other demons does Emilia encounter?! You need to read to find out!

This was HANDS DOWN my favorite ARC of the year, and definitely in my overall top 10!!
Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC ebook!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the gifted copy, all thoughts are my own 

I was really looking forward to reading this book. It sounded perfect for an October read. First the cover is gorgeous!!! 

When it came to the content of this book I was for lack of a better term, underwhelmed. It seemed like we were promised hot romance and really there isn't much. The food seemed more developed than the characters and it felt like all the character development some characters had made disappeared at the end. 

While I still await the next book, I was left wanting more from the characters.

"I loved escaping from reality, especially during times of trouble.  Stories made everything possible."

Thank you to Netgalley and JIMMY Patterson for an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. 

Emilia and her twin Vittoria are witches and have been warned about the seven demon princes their whole lives.  When Emilia discovers Wrath standing over her sister's mutilated body, she seeks answers and summons him.  But he is not the only Wicked on Earth - Envy, Greed and Lust are also here and soon Emilia and Wrath are working together to find the true murderer.  

I loved this book so much.  It was gripping, fast-paced and well-written.  Emilia's development was really enjoyable to read, as she progressed from the quieter and more obedient sister, to a fierce witch in her own right.  Wrath was dark and seductive and I loved the banter between him and Emilia.  I can't wait to find out what happens in the sequel and would highly recommend this book!!
