The writing is full of Maniscalco’s signature style full of gorgeous prose, with lush and evocative descriptions of settings and amazing styles that made it so easy to build a beautiful picture in my imagination. I jumped into this just after finishing an audiobook reread of book 1, and this is the kind of book that I just couldn’t justify rushing through - I wanted to savor every moment of it. It’s definitely more along the lines of NA, with a much steamier theme running through it, although it doesn’t step fully into erotica, or even go as far as SJM’s more spicy offerings, but it’s definitely a lot more sexual that the previous book. First off, I was expecting this to be firmly in the realm of YA, but it’s most certainly not. As long as her sins don’t catch up to her first … And soon Emilia finds herself trapped between Wrath and his even more wicked brother, the Prince of Pride, king of demons.įaced with backstabbing courtiers, luxurious palaces, dazzling galas, and conflicting clues about what truly happened to her sister, Emilia finds herself on a mission to unlock the mysteries of her own past and uncover the answers she craves. Even Wrath, her onetime ally, may be keeping secrets about his true nature. Because the longer Emilia resides in Hell, that seductive world of vice, the clearer it becomes that nothing is what it seems. But the first rule in the court of the Wicked? Trust no one. On a mission to avenge her beloved sister, Emilia has traveled to the Seven Circles and sold her soul to become Queen of the Wicked, with the enigmatic Prince of Wrath by her side. Infinite deception with a side of revenge … Welcome to Hell.
