About this listen

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 . . .

Tropes
Enemies to lovers
Slow burn
Forced proximity
One bed
Witches and demons

This scorching romantasy is perfect for fans of Stephanie Garber, Carissa Broadbent, Lexi Ryan, Lauren Roberts.

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

Wait for book 2

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

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!

So much fun!

This is the best performance I’ve heard in so long! The male voices weren’t overly put on, and there was a clear distinction between talking and the narrative.
The story itself was interesting and punchy with great character development.
I’ll be looking out for more audiobooks from both the author and the narrator!

So good

Firstly I found parts of this book hard to get into and relate, but I have to say I wanted to keep going, the good parts and the narrator kept me going and I would like to continue onto the next.
I think it’s when the author repeats the story over and over the it becomes taxing.
The narrator did a really good job and her Italian was excellent.
Both narrator Ana author are new to me.

Coming out of a Sarah J Maas hangover meant this was perfect for me. This world is beautiful, easy to fall into and an overall easy read! I haven’t been able to get into any fantasy other then SJM so this was such a lovely surprise. Definitely great for some light reading x
