5.0

King of Wrath is the first book in Ana Huang’s new series, Kings of Sin. While some seem to complain of similarities between this and Twisted Lies, I loved both books. While I can see some similarities between the two books, Vivian and Stella and Christian and Dante are distinct characters in separate relationships. 

Dante and Vivian have intense romantic chemistry despite their arranged engagement and Dante’s reluctance to allow Vivian’s closeness. This book has Dante and Vivian traveling to Paris and becoming a New York power couple. 

One of my favorite parts of Ana Huang’s stories is all of her main female characters have extensive backgrounds and interests. Vivian is a top-tier party planner tasked with planning the biggest charity ball of the year. Her life and interest do not revolve around Dante, which is a trope that can be found in some billionaire romance novels. 

King of Wrath includes cameo’s from Stella and Christian from the Twisted series and introduces several characters who will star in future Kings of Sins books. I cannot wait to read more about Isabella and Kai in the next book. I would also be interested in reading a novella about Vivian’s sister, who was also in an arranged marriage. 

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It’s my second favorite Ana Huang book, and she has become an insta buy author for me.
