Book Review: Throne of Secrets by Kerri Mansicalco (Prince of Sin #2)

Throne of Secrets by Kerri Maniscalco
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alright, Prince Gluttony/Gabriel Axton, you are also one of my favorites.

Even though I was entirely focused on the ice dragons and why they would be attacking people all over the place and all that, I still enjoyed this book so much. In the beginning, though, Gabriel made me mad for what happened to Wrath (my mans didn't deserve it okay, he came back looking like he got into a fight with Flordia Man and lost), and he still does needs to pay his healing/hospital bills, but I DIGRESS. Before I get into an angry match with him, he still goes into my good graces.

So this one did have enemies to lovers, like spot-on fighting in the scandal papers, but when Gabriel decides that he wants to change Miss Adriana from a reporter to a romance columnist like Lady Whistledown, boy was Adriana pissed. But she did it anyway, and she started going to a club called the Seven Sins club to have a very lovely tryst with a mysterious stranger...who just so happens to be Gabriel himself...who announced that he was looking for a wife, so he was holding a Bachelor like competition to see who can become his princess.

I have since realized that I don't like Bachelor-like competition trials because I don't watch the show and it's very stupid, but somehow I enjoyed this one better than I did, and I now may want to read more books with this in it without me actually watching the show.

So how does the ice dragon situation fit in?

Well, the ice dragons are all acting very weird and we don't know why. One day they were cool with the hunts and they didn't hurt people. Minutes later they tweakin' and now they're attacking people left right and sideways and Gluttony doesn't even know why...but it turns out Adriana does, and it was because of a hexed object called the golden pen I believe, that started to make the ice dragons tweak as if they were on Monster Hunter, and once the pen was destroyed, the ice dragons were back to normal. For me, that was the meat of the story, because I started to wonder what happened to the ice dragons and why they were tweakin' like that.

All in all, a really good book but the Bachelor competition took me away from it, kind of. But I still enjoyed it, though!

Book Review: Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco (Prince of Sin #1)

Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

SIX. BLOODY. STARS.

Six stars. I LOVED this book so much that I'm glad that someone recommended this book to me. Originally, I didn't like Envy in KOTW, but in this book? Oh, I fell in love with him. Mans had be BARKING for all the right reasons. I love villains, I have no idea why, but Envy in my opinion was the best villain in the way he did things and tried to keep his eyes on the prize, and he did...but he also didn't expect to fall in love, which is a good thing.

Miss Camilla Antonius was the best partner for Envy. She kept him on his toes and kept him with the clues, not even knowing that those clues were tying to her and the Wild Court, a court she came from, but she left after her mother kidnapped her and put her in the world of Waverly Green. She grew up trying to get away from a man named Lord Vexley, who got her to make a forgery of a painting and also try to get her to be his, only she kept rejecting him. Well Lord Vexley is a vampire now, so it's gonna be fun to see him slake his thirst while screwing his way through his afterlife. And Camilla's real daddy....I didn't like him one bit. I really didn't. I wished he was dead the moment he appeared on the page.

The romance was top-tier, the action was really good, and the spice was spicin'. I loved every single minute of it and I now want more of this world.

Book Review: Kingdom of the Feared by Kerri Maniscalco

Kingdom of the Feared by Kerri Maniscalco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kerri Maniscalco has done it again. Magic, mystery, romance, Wrath not becoming the only Prince of Hell that was gonna be a Georgia Boy since he and Emilia are married now (*cries in Georgia Bulldog*) but it's okay! I truly enjoyed the way the book was written and I really loved Emilia's journey the most. I loved how she was a witch, then falling in love with Wrath and marrying him, finding out that her sister isn't dead, oh and that she's a goddess of fury and Nonna kept all of this from both her and her sister.

Books like this, for me, are very rare, but at the same time, I enjoy seeing characters I really like grow into the person they are now. The mystery was so intriguing to me that I wanted to know more. I had so many questions in my head, and Kerri and Emilia just took my head and just lead me to the answers while we figure out how Vittoria survived, how the ever-lasting fuckery does Domenico have magic, and also what happened to Greed's general.

All of my questions were answered, and I wasn't disappointed. The action was so good that I was cheering and gasping when things came to light.

Wrath became more and more like and loveable that I had sworn while reading the first two books that he will be mine, and that I could do whatever I wanted to him. But the third book made me really happy because he and Emilia finally got married and as they figure out what happened in the past and how to unlock the curse that was placed on the both of them, they were in sync all at once and I loved every bit it.

This might be one of my favorite series that I've ever read and I'm so glad that I read it.

Book Review: Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco

Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco
My 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.
