Two curses.
One prophecy.
A reckoning all have feared.

And a love more powerful than fate. All hail the king and queen of Hell.

Emilia is reeling from the shocking discovery that her twin sister, Vittoria, is alive. But before she faces the demons of her past, Emilia yearns to claim her king, the seductive Prince of Wrath, in the flesh. Emilia doesn’t simply desire his body, she wants his heart and soul—but that’s something the enigmatic demon can’t promise her.

When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, Emilia and Wrath are drawn to the rival demon court. Damning evidence points to Vittoria as the murderer and she’s quickly declared an enemy of the Seven Circles. Despite her betrayal, Emilia will do anything to solve this new mystery and find out who her sister really is.

Together Emilia and Wrath play a sin-fueled game of deception as they work to stop the unrest that’s brewing between witches, demons, shape-shifters and the most treacherous foes of all: the Feared.

Emilia was warned that when it came to the Wicked nothing was as it seemed. But, have the true villains been much closer all along? When the truth is finally revealed, it just might end up costing Emilia her heart.

Review

* Non-Spoiler Review*

The final book in the Kingdom of the Wicked series, the last book Kingdom of the Cursed did leave me desperate for the third and final instalment. However, I feel like this book didn’t meet my full expectations, you are brought back into the last moments in the second book. If you haven’t read either of the first two books it does take you a while to catch up with what is going on.

Maniscalco did a good job of wrapping up all the mysteries that surrounded the first two books, however, there was the feeling like certain situations were written out of convenience rather than to enhance the story. Don’t get me wrong I was satisfied overall with how the story went, but it was as impactful as I was expecting it to be.

Overall, I really enjoyed finishing up the last book in the series. I would definitely recommend it if you are after a steamy paranormal romance read.
