Hello my fellow readers. Today I wanna talk about the book 'Kingdom of the Wicked'. I've finished this book in 3 days (wich is kinda fast for me to finish a book). It was a fun book to read and an easy-going.

This story is based in the beautiful Italy, Sicily to be exact. Maniscalco did a great job with the world building, you can taste and smell the food that the characters make and you can feel the atmosphere in the streets and in the village parties. Kingdom of the wicked takes place in the 19th century and I really felt this area. Emilia helped her grandmother in the restaurant, her clothes were from the 19th century and it's beautifull.

The characters were interesting. My favorite character was Wrath. I love a dark/sexy character who's kinda badass but secretly has the hart on the good place. Emilia is really a reckless person who doens't think twice before her actions. She was discribed as shy and smart, but it didn't felt like that. She seemed as a reckless and (sometimes) stupid person. But I guess that's because her sister was murdered and she wanted to know who killed her.

Antonio felt like a wrong person to me. I didn't trust him, because he was in the brotherhood and he only believed in God ( but I guess that was normal in that errea?) I still don't like him, haha.

Besides Wrath, Emilia, Antonio and the princes of hell. You have Nonna, Emilia her grandmother. She looked like a fun person at the beginning, but when you are further in this book you will see that she kept big and important information for Emilia.. Which doens't make sense to me. Because Emilia needs that information for a lot of things.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book And I can't wait for the second book 'Kingdom of The cursed' because I wanna now more about Wrath. Kingdom of the Wicked was a fun book, but I missed more information about certain things (like the princes of Hell, or why Nonna kept all those important information,..etc) Hopefully I find my answers in the next book, which will be released in 2021. 

Synopsis:

Two Sisters. One Brutal murder. A quest for vengeance that will unleash hell itself.. And an intoxicating romance.

Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are Streghe-witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding noticed and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses 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 her sister's killer and to seed vengeance at any cost, even if it means using dark magic that's been long forbidden.

Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked Princes of hell that she has been warned against in tales since she was a child. Wrath claims to be on Emelia's side, tasked by his master with solving the series of the women's murders on the island. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems..
