One of few books lately that has kept me wanting to read. I couldn't put this one down. I love how Adriana and Axton are constantly in a battle of wits, I love the clues scattered throughout, I love the mystery that develops, and I love how every detail is tied together. I know lots of reviews were saying that this book is boring or doesn't have enough plot, but honestly it was the perfect amount for me and I enjoyed every second of it.

Throne of Secrets by Kerri Maniscalco is the next book in the Prince of Sin series. This Cinderella-esque story focus’s on Prince Gluttony (aka Gabriel Axton) and his rival Adriana Saint Lucent a scandal sheets journalist that we’ve met before in previous books. There’s a history between the two that slowly gets unraveled as the story goes along.

I had SO much fun with this one! The ice dragons and that whole mystery combined with Gabriel and Adriana’s history were a joy to explore. The wintery setting was very atmospheric. Chemistry was off the charts (no surprise there as readers have witnessed their fiery exchanges in other books of this overall series), and the spicy scenes were quite satisfying. Definitely recommended for people who’ve read the first book Throne of the Fallen in the Prince of Sin series, and in my opinion it’s an even better installment of this series than the first book was.

I’ll add that I NEED Prince Pride and his wife’s book IMMEDIATELY. I honestly hope their book is next!

Another amazing Gem from Kerri Maniscalco!!! I just love the world of the Wicked she has created! Every book gets better then the last! And she did not disappoint with Gluttony’s story! I’ve been torn on what house of sin i belong to, & now I know for sure, its House Gluttony! I don’t think i really knew exactly what the sin of gluttony meant before this book, & now i know that it is my sin! I overindulge in everything i love: books, food, movies, tv shows, i get very passionate when i fall in love with something & i get kind of addicted to it & search it out everywhere & everyday! I am a true demon of House Gluttony! 
& Adriana & Axton’s romance was just pure amazing to me! There was second chance, enemies to lovers, forbidden love, twists & turns through the whole book! It was pure heaven!! Or should i say Hell!! 😘
