Can't Wait Wednesday #18 - Kingdom of the Cursed by Kerri Maniscalco

 

Happy Wednesday friends!  Two weeks ago, I shared one of two of my most anticipated books of 2021, here's the other book that I briefly mentioned! Kingdom of the Cursed’s cover was just recently released and I've been so excited to talk about it! If you're not familiar with Can’t Wait Wednesday, this is a bookish meme hosted by Tressa over at Wishful Endings that spotlights upcoming release books that we're excited for.

Summary:

One sister.
Two sinful princes.
Infinite deception with a side of revenge…Welcome to Hell.

After selling her soul to become Queen of the Wicked, Emilia travels to the Seven Circles with the enigmatic Prince of Wrath, where she’s introduced to a seductive world of vice.

She vows to do whatever it takes to avenge her beloved sister, Vittoria...even if that means accepting the hand of the Prince of Pride, the king of demons.

The first rule in the court of the Wicked? Trust no one. With back-stabbing princes, luxurious palaces, mysterious party invitations, and conflicting clues about who really killed her twin, Emilia finds herself more alone than ever before. Can she even trust Wrath, her one-time ally in the mortal world...or is he keeping dangerous secrets about his true nature?

Emilia will be tested in every way as she seeks a series of magical objects that will unlock the clues of her past and the answers she craves...

My Thoughts on Kingdom of the Cursed:

Isn't this cover absolutely gorgeous! I was already excited for this squeal before, but now I'm even more so! I fell in love with Kingdom of the Wicked when I read it back in November and I've been so excited for Kingdom of the Cursed! I've seen little tidbits that Kerri has shared over on her Instagram for some sneak peaks of Kingdom of the Cursed and they there are some definitely very interesting scenes. In addition, on the day the cover was released, they also released an excerpt of the full first chapter, Chapter 1! After reading that, all I can say is, can October 5th come sooner? I cannot wait for Kingdom of the Cursed! I need the next book, I cannot wait to jump back into Emilia and Wrath's world.
