Kingdom of the Cursed: the addictive and alluring fantasy romance set in a world of demon princes and dangerous desires (Kingdom of the Wicked Book 2)

Emilia made the ultimate sacrifice to revenge her murdered twin sister Vittoria. She has sold her soul to become the Queen of the Wicked. Wrath is tasked with guiding Emilia through the Seven Circles of Hell to the Prince of Pride. Along the way Wrath's presence, sensuality and power pull on Emilia's desire for him while he introduces her to the sinful decadence of Hell.Wrath schools her on dealing with each of the Princes of Hell known as the Wicked – mainly Trust No One. Emilia is conflicted as she takes this advice on board as she instinctively trusts Wrath. As she manoeuvres through fabulous palaces, greets double-crossing Princes and obtains troubling and confusing clues to who killed her sister, Emilia is constantly surrounded but feels deeply alone. She wants to confide in Wrath but as he has proved secretive to her detriment in the past, she doesn’t know if he can ever be her true ally.As she journeys to her future husband the King of Hell, she uncovers magical items that will help her unlock the truth she seeks and finally enact her revenge. But the closer she comes to being Queen the harder it is to resist her growing feelings for Wrath. Will her path lead her to a place so dark she will never see the light again and will Emilia embrace the sinful side of herself to defeat all who stand in her way?🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. This was book 2 in the series and it certainly ramped up the action, intrigue and sexiness of the story and I loved it. Wrath is the dark, morally grey MC that I just love. He is conflicted, protects his kingdom but is trapped by his nature and responsibilities. He is also gorgeously seductive and powerful which makes him perfectly delicious. Emilia's character has grown from a naive young woman in the first book to a savvy, strong and commanding woman in this book. She also is more open to her sexuality and allows herself to explore that area of herself. The twists and turns were intense, addictive and had me gaping by the end of the book. The cliff-hanger was MEAN so I eagerly await book 3 so bad!!

KoTC picks up right after that cliffhanger ending from Kingdom of the Wicked.This installment was more action packed than the first so I felt the pace was better. There was a constant tension throughout making it a fun page turner.The sexual tension between Emilia and Wrath also upped a notch, the will they won’t they aspect goes back and forth so much – but the chemistry between them is always enough that you stay invested! This will be a hit for those that enjoy a romance heavy fantasy with a little spice. The author announced this is a New Adult series, which explains the content in this book (I thought it was YA based on the first).I didn’t care for the constant descriptions of Emilia’s dresses and I’ll admit I skimmed those parts. However, I could picture certain fan arts when reading, so I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything crucial. I actually skim outfit descriptions a lot in books, so this isn’t a reflection on the writing at all – my brain just won’t take in the outfit.The food descriptions are back too and everything sounds delicious!The plot took a turn I didn’t expect and that’s when I couldn’t put the book down. This feels like the foundations for book three so I can appreciate all the little details that have been scattered throughout.Nothing is as it seems and just as you think you’ll piece things together… the conclusion bites you in the butt!Overall this was a great read. I couldn’t put the book down and I’ve pre ordered book three as soon as I finished this one!

My friend lent me the whole trilogy and I've burned through the first two books in no time at all. I read a lot of dark fiction and this really stands out with a unique story, unlike anything I've come across before.

Really good book, fast delivery,goid value for money

Can't comment on the story yet (but have heard that it is good). Arrived quicker than expected but dust jacket in poor condition.

I love it !!! Can't wait for the next oneThe adventure continues in the 7 circles...

I really enjoyed how this series is going. But I will say that the storyline is getting lost. There’s so many factors being added in and I got very lost. But I loved how I felt like I was there and had great imagery. I even enjoyed this imagery more than book 1. And it was hot! Just wish it made more sense. I will say (no real spoilers) that book 3 was a massive let down so keep that in mind. Book came in good condition and in good time.

I should have re-read the first book before starting this because it literally picks up from where book 1 ended, and I was so confused because it's been a while since I finished the first one.Once I got my bearings, it was full steam ahead from then on! This book was definitely character driven, and I loved it.Emilia's character development was fantastic. Her transformation was so well done. It wasn't rushed and felt completely natural. You could see the thought process that led to every change within her, and I loved every second of it.Wrath is beyond words! He has quickly shot up my favourite male main character list, and that's a tough list to get on to! We stan a consent/free will king.That ending... more like the last 20% of the book had me swearing like a sailor. I am so excited for September for the third installment!

“I am not a hero Emilia, nor am I a villain. You ought to know that by now.”Blood and bones I. Love. This. Book !!!Kingdom of the Cursed is filled with mystery, angst, temptation and spice. A one year wait for the next one is… life is unfair, man. It took me 3 days to start a new book after I finished, so just a heads up, you will get a hangover !Read if you like •Slow burn romance •Riddles, mystery and secrets •Witches and princes of Hell•Curses and prophecies •Magical objects •Kingdom of the Wicked“Stop having filthy thoughts about me and get some rest.”

Voor mijn dochter kado gekocht en ze was er heel blij mee

Le premier tome avait été une très bonne découverte et c’est naturellement que j’ai eu envie de continuer cette histoire avec le second opus.Premièrement, dans ce tome, la relation entre Emilia et Wrath évolue beaucoup. Un jeu de rapport de force et de caractère. On rencontre aussi une partie des autres princes de ce royaume plongé dans le froid et la neige. Personnellement, la première partie de la réception chez Gluttony, je vais vite l’oublier...Concernant l’intrigue sur la malédiction, elle avance et quelques secrets/mystères nous sont dévoilés. Et donnent encore plus envie de savoir ce qu’il va se passer dans le prochain tome, car de nouvelles énigmes se sont mises en place. Ce que j’aime également avec cette série, c’est la passion d’Emilia pour la cuisine. À chaque fois qu’elle décrit les plats, le goût, les odeurs, cela me donne envie de goûter les recettes.Pour conclure, j’ai autant apprécié ce second tome que le précédent. Les personnages ont une certaine profondeur, des personnalités marquées. L’ambiance générale, mystérieuse et oppressante va parfaitement à l’histoire. J’ai hâte de savoir ce qu’il se passe dans le troisième tome, car les révélations dans les dernières pages ont de quoi alimenter ma curiosité.
