Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco

4.0

---

I have to say when I started this book I wasn't sure what to expect, I mostly got it because I liked the authors other work. I did enjoy it, it was full of adventure and I really enjoyed learning more about Hell, magic and demons. I enjoyed the setting of this book, it takes place in Italy, I'm not quite sure of the time period but its definitely historical rather than modern. Emilia was an interesting character but I felt her personality was a bit all over the place. It was hard to get a feel on what she was truly like. At times she is very oblivious but at other times she is tricking the demon princes. She definitely gets darker towards the end of the book. I was surprised by the lack of romance in this book, but having a demon prince being a romantic interest would have been a bit annoying for me. I was just expecting an enemies to lovers type romance because of the blurb! It did have a level of murder mystery to it which I really liked.
