This was such a let down after loving the Kingdom of the Wicked Series.
'Throne of the Fallen' is Kerri Maniscalco's first book in her adult aged series Prince of Sin. This series is taking place in the same world as her ya series Kingdom of the Wicked. Camilla Antonius loves art as much as her father and wants nothing other than to continue his legacy. But unfortunately she's currently being blackmailed by one of Waverly Greens savoury characters to forge art for him. When he starts to demand more than just art Camilla seizes a chance and makes a deal with a devil, the Prince of Envy to be exact. Envy needs her, he's playing a ruthless game and his clues have lead him to Camilla. He's not sure why yet, but that's where he is and as time goes on and the more they work together the more convinced he is that she is more than she seems. Either from the mystery, the game or this unshakeble draw he feels for Camilla he's determined to flesh out all her secrets.

ugh, I hate loving something, like this underworld that Maniscalco has created and then not liking a book in it. It's not so much that I didnt like it as .... I think underwhelmed might be the right way to put it. Nothing drew me in. Envy and Camilla felt like bland characters you can find in any romance with fantasy. Nothing made me feel like they were special. I felt bored and even the bits that should hold me attention it was a chore to take my time and pay attention. Is it weird to say that there was spice but little to no romance? I didnt feel a connection between the main characters at all.
Im going to give the next one a shot, I don't want to give up just yet but im really hoping theres more to it than what I got with this one.
