Two sisters. One brutal murder. A quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself . . .

Kingdom of the Wicked is the first in an addictive, intoxicating and darkly romantic fantasy series from a Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author.

Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are witches, forced to live their lives in secret to avoid persecution. Until one night, Vittoria doesn't come home . . .

Then Emilia finds her body, desecrated beyond belief. Devastated, she vows revenge at any cost: even if it means using forbidden magic - or summoning Wrath, one of the princes of the Wicked.

Deadly, handsome, and brooding, Wrath claims to be on Emilia's side, tasked with solving a series of murders on the island.

But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems . . .

Wait for book 2

Overall the plot book is extremely generic and predictable. Hopefully book 2 (when released) will redeem the series.

Brilliant!

Kerri is an incredible writer. She takes her time introducing new characters, giving hints as to who they are and what role they may play without spending too much time on them because let’s be honest.. everyone is holding out for scenes between our heroine and her love interest… I was never bored. The narration is amazing - the accents especially. An absolute favourite.

great story

I listened to all three books in this series because the story was captivating.
the struggle here for me was the narrator. flipping between posh British and Italian in the same sentence (not for character voices just because) was a little distracting. changing pace was a put off.
I do have to give her credit for her efforts in the character voices. most of the time, you could tell when someone else was talking quite easily.

Entertaining read!

Great voice actor but her Italian ascent was far too much! Easy story to follow along to

A fantastic fantasy read!

I've seen a few reviews about this storyline being generic, but I thought the writing and dialogue was great. It was refreshing having a female lead that didn't practically come out of the womb with sword skills.

I'm Questioning Why I Liked This Book

The Kingdom of the Wicked is one of those books where you find numerous plot holes, loose ends, obvious villains, and a female lead who makes a lot of eye-brow-raising choices. However, despite all this, you cannot stop listening because the writing style is captivating, the narrator is engaging, and the world concept holds enough mystery that you need answers. I honestly questioned my personal taste in books once I finished it, but loved it nonetheless.

i really enjoyed this book

I loved the olde world magic & setting this story provoked, with ancient sayings, grimoires, witches & demons. Narrator was excellent. Cant wait for book 2.

So much fun!

Loved this book. Great characters. Enjoyed the narration. Listened to it all in one day. Even if you think you can guess what will happen next, the next twist has you rethinking all your who done it theories. Jumping straight into the next one!
