Two curses.
One prophecy.
A reckoning all have feared.
 
And a love more powerful than fate. All hail the king and queen of Hell.
 
Emilia is reeling from a shocking discovery about her sister, Vittoria. But before she faces the demons of her past, Emilia yearns to claim her king, the seductive Prince of Wrath, in the flesh. She doesn’t just desire his body; she wants his heart and soul—but that’s something the enigmatic demon can’t promise her.
 
When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, damning evidence somehow points to Vittoria as the murderer. Now, Emilia will do anything to get to the bottom of these accusations against the sister she thought she knew.
 
Together, Emilia and Wrath play a sin-fueled game of deception to solve the murder and stop the unrest that’s brewing between witches, demons, shape-shifters, and the most treacherous foes of all: the Feared. Emilia was warned that when it came to the Wicked, nothing was as it seemed. But have the true villains been much closer all along?
 
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco delivers sizzling romance, sexy secrets, and unexpected twists in this unforgettable conclusion to the Kingdom of the Wicked series!

Review:
If I had known how this book series would end I never would have read it. While I understand that many people have different ideals, morals, etc, I do not believe that giving away everything that makes you special and unique for a love interest is ever the answer we should be encouraging in young people. Perhaps that’s something that many in their early to late teens think, that if they change everything about themselves, or dim themselves, it will be enough and fix whatever may be wrong with others. Even in fairy tales, the originals, when giving up one’s self for others it doesn’t usually end well- ex: The Little Mermaid. While I also believe in the power of love, I do not condone the idea that being with one person is the only way you can be whole. That is not true for twins- Vittoria and Emilia are fine apart and living separate lives- their power is their own; so why is it different for Emilia and Samael?

This story had true promise- I was hooked from the first book, however, with the multitude of obvious plot points that were both foreshadowed and a bit cliché, as well as full of sex often initiated whilst in the middle of war and situations where you’d think people would be more focused on other matters, I found that this series as a whole fell completely flat. This had a completely underwhelming and expected ending for a book series that had great promise at the start.
