Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with.

The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Histoire
As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt. When I can't take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don't like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift...a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

They are hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality.

Description
A James Patterson Presents novel
From the number one New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series comes a new blockbuster series....
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....

Can't wait for the next one!
This has to be one of the best performances I have heard from Audible! It made a great story even better.
I was a bit skeptical of the book at first since sometimes these types of books can focus a bit to much on the romance, or have a strong female character that only remains strong until a strong man can take over. But this was different, she remains strong and puts her family and friends first.

Captivating
I really enjoyed this story. It is something I personally have not read before, the living embodiments of the seven deadly sins, and it was refreshing. Amelia is a compelling creature that is well rounded in her grief and determination. I found this book captivating in all regards, from the moment I started it I did not stop finishing it in one day ( my sleep being compromised for this feat). I thought it almost perfect, the only issue was that I found that the ending left more questions than I really wanted. I am happy with a good cliff hanger, but I found with this book there are a hundred threads left to be woven together. That being said I am extremely excited for the second book, whenever it decided to be finished. I know this series will live with me for quite some time.

The audiobook saved this book for me
It was good, but it felt mismatched; things just started happening without reason, like parts wanting to fit together but not quite succeeding. I have so many questions. I feel like I missed a part of the book. There is too much information missing. Still curious about what will happen though. Also, this was one of the best performances I have ever listened to!

Maniscalco does it again!
I loved the first series I listened to by Kerri Maniscalco and this first book in a new story did not disappoint. The story was enjoyable & had a good mixture of magic, mystery and a little creepiness. The narration was SO good! This was the perfect last read (listen) of October, although I’d enjoy it any time.

Best Voice Actress for the Book!
This book is sooo good. First I’ll say that I listen ton the audiobooks. The voice actress was so amazing and this was one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to. She got the voice perfectly. Her switch to a masculine voice was flawless and sounded genuine. She was truly an actress, not just someone reading the book!
The book itself was amazing. There was a more mystery aspect to it with such a dark, almost gothic feel to the story and setting. It felt very ominous and I kept anticipating something bad to be lurking around every turn of the page. Emilia’s grief and pain at losing her sister was raw and real.
One thing I will say is that both twins run into danger with too much secrecy and no thought. It didn’t work out well for one sister, and the other decided to do the same. They both felt the need to take on the tasks themselves instead of asking for help. After Vittoria dies, you would think Emilia would learn her lesson and ask for help. Although her grandmother had been keeping secrets from her for her entire life, so I see why Emilia didn’t want to ask her for help. And if she did, the story would not have progressed the same. You can tell not everything the grandmother believes or says may be the whole truth of the matter and it’s up to Emilia to figure things out on her own.
I don’t see why the grandmother kept so many secrets. It was annoying. The twins may have been better able to protect themselves if they knew what they were and what they had. To keep them ignorant made them vulnerable.
I like the idea of the Seven Deadly Sins being represented by princes of hell. Their powers were off the sins and they used them to enthrall and be-spell people.
I love Wrath. And I am a sucker for romance in the story. There are some reviews that complain about it being an insta-love story with little interaction between the two characters. It’s definitely not instant love! They don’t even like each other. They’re bound together and definitely intrigued by each other. They have an inkling that they could be more but it’s only mentioned once. He’s reluctant to be stuck with her and she’s still convinced of her hatred for him. Yes, they do feel desire for one another and you can see it leading somewhere. I can’t wait for the rest of the books to come out and see their relationship progress. Especially after the ending and the trouble it will cause between the two of them in the next book!

nothing special
The MC was a bit dumb, the MC love interest, a mighty demon, was the typical hot, snarky, secretly In love with the MC but acting like he hates her, we all know and love, and frankly, saw it in a gazillion other books of that sort.
but it was still a fun read,and menage to keep my interest. to shame i solved the grand mystery in the second chapter.
oh, and the narrator is great. appropriately dramatic. i listened to a lot of books with her,and she never disappoint.

Lacking the charm of Kerri's last series
I had some issues with this story. While it was interesting in its setting and execution, parts of the story didn't make sense and the ending left me a bit confused.
***SPOILERS***
The MC has a really close bond with her sister because they were born twins. They are not alike in personality and these girls can run around in semi-historical Italy with no question about their whereabouts. The grandmother is apparently a very powerful witch who didn't tell her grandchildren anything about themselves and obviously has the powers to figure what her granddaughters are up to, but for plot reasons, she plays a background character that fills in information...sort of. The MC parents have no powers and do nothing except becoming liabilities. The MC moves out of their house for like a week to be protected by her demon boyfriends and her parents don't call the police or even seem to care that she left and moved in with some boy they have never met. Not to mention the fact that a bunch of girls, one of their daughters included, have just been murdered....like who does that?
What kind of daughter doesn't even think that would bother them? How would her grandmother allow that!? The part really bothered me for some reason.
I felt a lot of parts of this story were scattered and disorganized which I would have been ok with if it hadn't been Kerri and her previous series wasn't so polished. There were also random parts of the book that would have dramatic music that was supposed to make it more theatrical but I found it weird...if you are going to put them in a few serious scenes then put them in all of them. The romance was also very meh.
The ending didn't make much sense either and I didn't find her "descent into evil" mentality to be explained well enough in the plot...maybe the second book will be better. Either way, I didn't end it wishing the second one was coming out soon as I did with her other series.
The performance was still very enjoyable and the accents spot on. I will still check out the next one because I love Kerri and support her work.

Amazing
I love Kerri Maniscalco’s work! Kingdom of the Wicked had me laughing and swooning. I highly recommend this book to all. Marisa Calin’s performance blew me away. This is a must read!!

Predictable but Still Exciting
I have been in a bit of a reading slump, but this book finally pulled me out of it. I love the focus on keeping things Era relevant and the characters were fun. I am excited for the next one.
This Audiobook wouldn't have been nearly as good without Marisa Calin narrating. And the music they periodically played in the back was well timed and tastefully.

The Narration Was Everything!!!
For a lesser narrator, I wouldn’t have made it through this book. Her story telling, her voices, her accents; delicious!
The story; eh. Kind of like watching lost. I’ve got a good sense of the predictable things that will happen but also it feels like the author is always asking more questions. The answers are never satisfying.
The protagonist is a bit whiny. But I didn’t mind because the narrator. Otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered.
I do like that the protagonist solves her own problems and doesn’t need to be rescued.
