Book Review:
Title: Kingdom of the Wicked
Author: Kerri Maniscalco
Publisher: Hodder and Stoughton
“Balance. Light and dark. The sun and moon. Good and evil. A snake winding through a bed of wildflowers. Offering a taste of the most forbidden fruit. Scales of justice were tipped; a choice hanging there for me to decide. To right a wrong, or damn us all.”
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 . . .
