October 2022 Not First in a Series BOTM - Kingdom of the Feared, by Kerri Maniscalco

[Alaina]

Emilia is reeling from the shocking discovery that her twin sister, Vittoria, is alive. But before she faces the demons of her past, Emilia yearns to claim her king, the seductive Prince of Wrath, in the flesh. Emilia doesn’t simply desire his body, she wants his heart and soul—but that’s something the enigmatic demon can’t promise her.

When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, Emilia and Wrath are drawn to the rival demon court. Damning evidence points to Vittoria as the murderer and she’s quickly declared an enemy of the Seven Circles. Despite her betrayal, Emilia will do anything to solve this new mystery and find out who her sister really is.

Together Emilia and Wrath play a sin-fueled game of deception as they work to stop the unrest that’s brewing between witches, demons, shape-shifters and the most treacherous foes of all: the Feared.

Emilia was warned that when it came to the Wicked nothing was as it seemed. But, have the true villains been much closer all along? When the truth is finally revealed, it just might end up costing Emilia her heart.

Two curses.
One prophecy.
A reckoning all have feared.

And a love more powerful than fate. All hail the king and queen of Hell.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stalking the Jack the Ripper series comes the steamy conclusion to Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy.

I just got the book and I am so excited to start!

[Kira]

Chapter 1 - 5 : (view spoiler)[I seriously have no idea why I didn't pick this up immediately after I was done with the second book but I am so grateful that there are little snippets of what had happened earlier to refresh my memory. Vittoria being alive came as such a shock and I am curious as to what really does she want and now with Vesta's disappearance, I am completely hooked (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6 - 10 : (view spoiler)[I felt good about Antonio's death tbh and Vittoria's mother appearing as well. I also liked Envy and Emilia's exchange tbh and I can't wait for her to show her badass side and use her full power force to get out of the trap and reunite with Wrath (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11 - 16 : (view spoiler)[O.M.G That whole back story of Emilia and Vittoria's curse was fucking terrifying, I had loved Nonna Maria in the first book and to think she was such a horrible person. Ugh. I am just waiting for Emilia now to break the curse completely and have her HEA with Wrath although I am still not sure about what;s up with Vesta. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 17 - 23 : (view spoiler)[I did NOT see that coming. Claudia is Lucia!!! Somehow it all makes sense and I really should have caught up with it sooner. I still feel like whatever Nonna and Sursea did was wrong and Lucia took the decision while being emotional. I am very excited to see how Emilia's meeting with Claudia would go and would she be ok with the curse being broken (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[I am so sad that this trilogy is finished! Wrath and Emilia have grown so much on me that I just want to continue reading their escapades together. Whatever happened with Emilia, Vittoria and Claudia was really unfortunate but I liked the HEA the author wove for them! (hide spoiler)]
