Plots within plots. Lies, secrets, and deception lurk around every corner. Emilia and Wrath's story just got a whole lot more complicated.
Kerri Maniscalco is notorious for her veiled storytelling, and Kingdom of the Cursed is another example of her expertise in clever labyrinthine mystery weaving. Truly an infuriating delight to read -- there's so much at stake and I'm all in for the ride! Had me on the edge of my seat and craving more!

After 119 pages I decided to dnf this read. I’m done with the “flirting” and the bad dialogue. The main character is badly written and the love interest is toxic. Because of my doubt I decided to read some of the high valued scenes and I’m disgusted. I’m okay with some spice but it should be with consent and chapter 17 just wasn’t it. Rape or Sexual assault should not be romanticized. It’s dangerous and fucking disrespectful.
