Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri ManiscalcoMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Everyone who read this book said they either get hungry because of the food descriptions, or the action in it. BUT NO ONE WARNED ME ABOUT PRINCE WRATH. Nope. Not a one. In my head, Wrath is Wrath from the Black Dagger Brotherhood. But this Wrath? Mr. I Have A Golden On My Arm, I Am Basically War, has the sass of Hellsing Ultimate Abridged!Alucard with the elegance of the Castlevania Alucard? All y'all fired. I'M SO MAD THAT EMILIA DIDN'T WIFE THIS MAN UP IN A HEARTBEAT. I loved this book so much-the magic, the summoning, the demons, all of it. It was so much fun, and the shocking part about everything was Prince Envy being the villain. I didn't even pick him up as the villain, but he was just *chef's kiss* beautiful in the book.
The food in the book made my mouth WATER. I wanted to sit at the restaurant and eat all that good food-that's how much I loved it. I even cracked up when Wrath discovered the magical dessert of cannolis before they were attacked by the demon.
The Prince's powers and how each of them uses them were very interesting. I wanted to know more about the rest of them, but I don't think I wanna know more about Lust's powers, because I felt like he violated Emilia to forget and to have fun without her consent-that's the only thing I didn't like about it. Other than that, I loved how Greed's power worked and how Envy worked. I also liked how the magic worked in the Kingdom of Italy. I wasn't even expecting the Church (did I? Did I though?) or the priest that both Emilia and Vittoria knew would betray them. I was honestly expecting something else.
I think my favorite part about the whole entire book was the summoning part. I really, really enjoyed them summoning part. And the mystery of what happened to Vittoria was very spot-on. I was following along with Wrath and Emilia to find out who did it and why they did it. I cannot wait to dig into book two to read more and cross my fingers that Wrath and Emilia gets together. If not, then I'M WIFING UP WRATH.
