From the #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series comes a new blockbuster series...
Two sisters.
One brutal murder.
A quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself...
And an intoxicating romance.
Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe - witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service at the family's renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin...desecrated beyond belief. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister's killer and to seek vengeance at any cost--even if it means using dark magic that's been long forbidden.
Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the Wicked--princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since she was a child. Wrath claims to be on Emilia's side, tasked by his master with solving the series of women's murders on the island. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems...

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this book. I finished it and I'm intrigued enough to want to see what happens in book 2 but I didn't love it. I will see how I feel at the end of the next book.
Kingdom of the Wicked is a traditional Romantasy: It has a strong female lead who encounters a morally grey shadow daddy that shows her a whole new world. The romance is YA but plentiful and top notch. It had enough unique moments and events to keep it interesting. It was a page turner and very fun to read.
Loved this book. I couldn’t put it down. The twists and turns and the constant on the edge of your seat feeling. Can’t wait to read the next one!
I actually loved this book as it started and was totally intrigued, but the transitions weren’t as clean as I would have hoped in the latter chapters. Emilia is a twin witch born into a long line of witches. When Emilia finds her twin’s dead body, it sets her onto a path to discover the murderer. She is thrown into a world where her enemies not only exist, but surround her at every turn. She inadvertently partners with one of the princes of Hell in order to find her sister’s killer, but finds she not prepared for the ways of Hell.I think the story was very interesting - I just ended up with more questions without answers than I had questions with answers. I honestly just needed a few things explained that were not. I’ll have to continue the series to try to get answers!
The narrator did an amazing job with accents and pronunciation of words that I definitely would have read wrong. After about half way through I alternated reading instead of listening. Somewhat of a slow burn but easily captivating. I cannot wait to read the next book.
