Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco ("James Patterson presents") 372 pages
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...
This is the first book in the trilogy. (Teen 2020) It was well written and researched . I even learned some new words like 'scrying', 'luccicare', and 'cornicello'. I have nothing bad to say about it. This story just wasn't my thing, so I will not continue on to the next book. However, if you are into sexy demons from Hell, then give it a try.
