We see much more of Wrath (wink wink) in this novel and see his real, multi-faceted personality. 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. 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. It’s a decadent and pulse raising read filled with sizzling romance, deception and intrigue and I never wanted it to end. I just finished reading Kingdom of the Cursed by Kerri Maniscalo and I don’t don’t what to do with myself!

The layers, and depth to this storyline gave the book more of a mystery feel, with romance.
