Ummm idk what to really say about this book. I will say I was intrigued but I will also say I was confused. And while I do love Wrath… Emilie isn’t my favorite. I feel like she goes from badass to complete idiot in the span of a chapter.

Also I’m uncertain how I feel about their relationship. Like I want to love it but I feel like you only ever see physical attraction between them especially in this book. And not like a friendship or something deeper than physical forming. Onto what I thought was confusing about this book… Magical artefacts, a magic tree, talking skulls spouting riddles, witch-goddesses, the devil’s curse, the original witch, the witch murders in KotW, the crone…I’m exhausted listing it all. There’s just so much to keep track of, link and contextualise, especially considering most of it doesn’t come into play until the second half. On top of it Emilie had soooo many different theories about literally everything that I felt like it was shard to keep track of which theories were right and which ones were wrong. Okay but all in all I was really only surprised by like one plot point and that being the Victoria is still alive and working with Antonio. And on top of all that Wrath KNOWS!!! I was not shocked by the fact that Wrath is the devil as once Emilie wondered it for the first time I thought it could make sense.

The second book in this serious is even better. It’ll take readers on another thrilling adventure through the mesmerizing world crafted by Kerri Maniscalco. In this highly anticipated sequel, the stakes are higher, the magic is darker, and the mysteries deepen. With her trademark blend of vivid storytelling and captivating prose, Maniscalco continued to mesmerize me , drawing me deeper into the sinister secrets of the Sicilian underworld. The characters we've come to love evolve in unexpected ways, and new faces add layers of intrigue to an already intricate tapestry of alliances and betrayals. From the lush landscapes of Sicily to the shadowy depths of the occult, "Kingdom of the Cursed" is a mesmerizing journey that will leave others spellbound until the very last page. With its blend of romance, mystery, and magic, this sequel is a must-read for fans of the first book and anyone craving an immersive escape into a world where nothing is as it seems.
