A six feet tall, narcissistic and arrogant prince of Hell and a stubborn, vengeful Witch? Hell yes! (I have a type, okay?)

Maniscalco might have pissed me off with sloppy writing but she also gave me a trope I adore- enemies to lovers. This is a family of witches who are into hiding. A microscopic view will tell you exactly why they are always chanting protection spells- the Fates are interlinked with the 7 princes of Hell and their freedom to travel between realms.

The world-building is exquisite. Emilia's quest to find her sister's killer leads her straight to Wrath and his charmingly obnoxious personality. There are lesser demons- scheming and Bloodthirsty shits who add to the overall danger of the plot.

Maniscalco really wins at building the slow burn chemistry between Emilia and Wrath- with their trust issues and raging hormones.
Kingdom of the Wicked is a promising start but I do hope the writing gets better in the next book. Also, the cliffhanger was devastatingly good.

I had never read anything by Kerri Maniscalco before, but after finished Kingdom of the Wicked, I will definitely pick up the Stalking Jack the Ripper series.

In Kingdom of the Wicked we meet Emilia en Vittoria, twin witch sisters who live in beautiful Palermo in Italy. One night, Emilia finds her sister. Murdered, with her heart ripped out. She sets out to find the killer, but somehow becomes entangled with one of the princes of Hell, Wrath, and more dark magic than she bargained for.

Kingdom of the Wicked is a great October read - spooky, high-paced action, a delicious slow-burn romance and well fleshed-out characters. The setting it perfect. Kingdom of the Wicked takes place in Italy, and the Italian phrases and words used in the story really add to that feeling of being there. The description of the city, the buildings, and especially of the food (delicious sounding food that made my stomach rumble every time I read about it), described the perfect atmosphere for the story.

The characters felt realistic. You could feel Emilia's anger, almost turning maniacal the longer she was hunting for her sisters killer. The princes of Hell fit their houses well, their personalities mirroring their sins. There were a few minor mistakes in the writing - sometimes a word was missing, or there was talk of Emilia's death instead of Vittoria's death - but none of this was too bothersome and of course makes sense in an ARC.

The one thing that slightly bothered me was the amount of repetition on some things, like Emilia's thinking coming back to the same conclusions over and over again, or a thing that kept being explained multiple times. This wasn't major at all, though, and I can imagine Emilia looping these things in her head, to make sense of them. It didn't break down the story in any way, but it did make me a little bit annoyed with Emilia at times.

I can recommend Kingdom of the Wicked to anyone who is in want of a spooky, witchy book, with handsome men, a slow-burning romance, and a bad-ass heroine. Be advised, though: the book ends with a wonderful cliffhanger, and the second book is far, far away. I, for one, can't wait to read how Emilia's story continues.

Kingdom of the Wicked is set in Sicily in late 19th century. We meet Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria, who are witches following a long tradition in their family. From birth on they have been inducted to protect themselves by charms and wards to avoid falling into the hands of the wicked princes of hell. Something they’ve heeded nearly always. Nearly always. When her twin is killed Emilia feels responsible. She raises a demon to help her find the killer and take her revenge on him, but she is in for a surprise.

Her ally soon turns out to be one of the seven princes of hell himself. Do I need to spell it out for you how close the two of them might become? Or will she keep holding up her torch for her childhood friend turned monk?

You might think it is a bit predictable. It is, but it has a very inventive magic system and the world building is executed quite well. If you like Kerri Maniscalco’s writing, you’ll certainly enjoy this first in a new series.

Received an Advanced Reader’s Copy from the publisher, Hodder & Stoughton, via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

The story starts off with a feeling of mystery and intrigue and I felt like I was sitting in a dark room while it thundered outside, listening to old myths and legends. The first twenty percent–I won’t lie–was a little slow, but I swear as soon as we hit the twenty percent mark the book kicks off and I was suddenly at seventy percent.

I buddy read this book with Dany @AmbivertWords and our frequent catching up with one another and squealing/gasping over the book. Michelle @LoveStarsandBooks is a proper reader and was done with the book so fast that I hadn’t even started. But bless her she’s ever patient with me and guided me through the whole book and remained excited with me while I randomly texted her with details of happenings in the book.

I will say one thing about the book, I certainly didn’t expect quite a bit of what happened in it. I’m saying this because even after reading the synopsis, I was so caught up in the writing that when something that we already know is going to occur happens, I was so shocked. The writing is certainly a big benefit for this book because that is exactly what holds the whole book together beautifully aside from the thick of the plot that unfolds much much later and a little slower. But you never feel the time because of how well it’s all designed.

The heroine, Emilia is on a desperate search for truth and will do anything to avenge her sister’s death. There’s not much that she’ll shy away from at the same time she’s a much much smarter heroine than most and you don’t see her falling for all the typical ploys that is characteristic of most other protagonists. I admire that she follows her intuition, stays strong at the face of fear and unhappiness and remains loyal to her family. There was a very very subtle but interesting style with which the author introduced mental health into the story. You can’t miss it but at the same time you may not recognize it immediately. The emotions displayed in this book and some of the sequences were so well done that I was genuinely shaken at one particular scene.

Wrath too brings some very very interesting elements to the story and most of that adds to the intrigue and magic of it. I thinks it’s best to experience the unfolding of his personality and character with ones own reading experience so I shall very maturely refrain from mentioning further about him.

My only pea sized issue was with the world building. I wouldn’t say it had gaps, just that I felt there were many things I couldn’t immediately grasp, especially about the magical tradition and practices that made me feel that I was always missing a little something. There are some doubts and questions I left the book with, but I kept in mind that I had the advanced copy and all those little seemingly confusing aspects could be smoothed out in the final version.

But, that ending though. Four and a half stars! Happy reading and stay safe book lover!

tw: loss, grief, death of a sibling, magic used to manipulate thoughts and actions, mutilation, violence, gore

I wasn't expecting to love this book as fiercely as I did. It's been a couple of weeks since I read it and I'm still thinking about this one. Kingdom of the Wicked hit me in a lot of weak spots I didn't know I had. It's no big secret that I love stories about witches, especially living secretly amongst non-magical people, and Kingdom of the Wicked delivered on realistic feeling magic. I liked the way that casting spells and charms was handled, and I think the realistic aspects were tied with the fantasy aspects really well. Once I'd gotten into Kingdom of the Wicked I honestly couldn't put it down. It's in the summary that Vittoria, our protagonist Emilia's twin sister, is murdered, but still I felt an absolute gut punch when it happened early on. Kerri Maniscalco's writing is really vivid and beautiful and I loved it, even when it wounded me. The way that Emilia's grief is written felt raw and real and it made me feel as urgent and desperate for a conclusion as Emilia did.

The princes of Hell, Wrath in particular, was predictably loveable. One day I'll stop being obsessed with monstrous men but it's not this day. The princes were all pretty interesting actually, I liked the way that their powers were manifested to match their deadly sins and considering I *knew* Wrath was going to be the typical hot-demon type, I was still totally bowled over by him. The relationship between Emilia and Wrath made me laugh out loud at multiple points, and I can't wait for the next book in the series so I can see more from these characters I've grown to adore. I didn't realise that this wasn't a standalone until most of the way through the book, and I can't wait to reread it when I get a hardback. And then probably reread it a couple more times before I get ahold of the next one.

trigger warning
<spoiler> grief, emotional manipulation through magic </spoiler>

Witches are dying which would be worse enough in itself. Then, Emilias sister is found. Without her heart.

Setting: Palermo, sometime before industrial revolution it seems. Yes, the famous mummies make an appearance, and I liked that a lot.

Emilia is a streeghe, a witch, in this case not even fully human. She has been growing up with a special kind of knowledge, and she and her twin sister were tought by their nonna, who made sure they stay on the right path.
There are certain things a witch should not do. Like summoning demons and making deals with them.

Apart from being a skilled witch, our protagonist is also a cook, working in her family's restaurant and dreaming of the things she'll put on the menue once she has her own restaurant one day in the far future.
This book made me crave focaccia so bad despite it never been mentioned. Just... Italian cuisine, okay? Since I'm a vegetarian, most of the stuff prepared here doesn't interest me, but I love focaccia.

The plot is simple. We have a corpse, we need to know what happened. I am always here for that, especially if magic is involved.

I enjoyed this one and will read on as soon as possible. The mix of catholic beliefs and folk beliefs and magic was very interesting, though I am miffed that, again, it seems like Latin is the oldest thing they could come up with.
Fantasy is not easy if you're an archaeologist.

I loved the atmosphere and will hopefully return in the nearer future.

The arc was provided by the publisher.

Thank you, Netgalley and Hodder & Stoughton for providing me with an ARC of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Kingdom Of The Wicked is the first book in the series by the same name. I have never read a Kerri Maniscalco book before and have only heard fantastic things about the Stalking Jack The Ripper Series. That series has been on my TBR for some time now, and hopefully, I'll be able to get around to it sometime soon. When I requested this ARC, I had no idea I'll get approved. I did shriek a little bit in excitement when I got accepted. So you see, I am pumped for this series big time. The cover is gorgeous and gives me the perfect October vibes, and on top of that, the synopsis just hooked me. To say I am intrigued would be an understatement.

Emilia and Vittoria are twins who come from a family of witches who live in Sicily. They have been living in secret among humans for fear of persecution. Their grandmother has taught them all the witchy ways. They grew up with the stories of Seven Princes Of Hell and to stay away from black magic. But, Vittoria and Emilia were intrigued despite all the dire warnings. Emilia goes in search of her feisty twin, who was missing for the family dinner at their restaurant. Vittoria was found murdered, with her heart ripped out, blood pooling around her, in the catacombs under the monastery, in a suspicious display of black magic. She discovers a man in the room whom she believes to be the killer. Filled with grief, Emilia vows to exact revenge on the killer who took her sister's life and desecrated her body. Emilia finds out secrets kept by her twin and realizes that things are different than they seem to be. She meets one of the Princes from Hell, and the two of them should set aside their differences to figure out the killer.
I loved the setting of the book and how the Sicilian culture of food was a big part of the story. The writing was good, and I loved the simplicity of it while also being very engaging and entertaining. The pacing was equally perfect, with the story hooking us from the beginning till the end. The atmospheric setting set the tone right for the series, from the very beginning. I love how the author took a hated and feared character and flipped it on its head. The villains get to say their story, and it was fascinating to see it unfold. This is a perfect read for October, with the right amount of spookiness and witchiness to keep you engaged.

Overall, I had a fun time reading and exploring the Kingdom Of The Wicked. It was a strong start to a new series. I find it promising and can't wait for what will happen in the next book. I hope we get the second book soon because I am bursting at the seams with curiosity and excitement. I gave the book 4 stars. My only complaint is I wanted more, and the book just ended before I was ready for it. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in romantic fantasies with dark characters, witches, and mystery, you should check this out.

I loved this book. It took be like a day to read this book. It was that great. There is murder mystery and magic with demons so it was very interesting reading he story. Mostly the book follows Emilia who is the not the adventures twin, but her world is turn upside down when her twin is killed by something supernatural, so to find who murdered here sister se summons a demon or one of the prince of hell who has his own agenda for helping her. The end of the story was so good, that I can’t wait what will happens in next books, the story and the characters are very interesting. This book is a great read and one of my favourites of the year.

I really wanted to love this book and there were times when I did but overall it just fell so flat for so many different reasons.

The main issue I had was the world building. I honestly can’t really tell you any specifics about the magic or the curse that this book centres around and I have literally just finished reading this book so it is fresh in my head. I just felt like lots of stuff happened without us really being told much of the reasoning for any of it.

The main character was also very badly fleshed out. I feel like her only defining traits were that she had a twin and talked about food a lot (although she didn’t seem that interested in it, she just provided lots of descriptions.The only other thing I can say of her was that she made a lot of stupid decisions, half of the book felt like her saying why should I hang around and wait when there’s danger I can go and get myself involved in for no reason.

I did like some of the banter and relationship between Emilia and Wrath but I felt like every time I Was enjoying this the scene abruptly changed and they were barely communicating again.

The ending was I intriguing but also very rushed. Unfortunately it was all too little too late for me I think and I can’t see me picking up the inevitable sequel.

4-4.5*

I've been waiting on this book for quite a while after reading the blurb and just knowing this would have all the vibes I would love. I see demon princes of Hell, witchcraft, dark magic, mysterious murders, and I immediately say yes. And honestly, it did not let me down. The whole aesthetic of the book was right up my alley, and I absolutely loved the Italian setting. It was honestly kind of a perfect book to read around Halloween with all the dark magic and spooky murders, it really had the perfect feel to it for this time of year.

The story revolves around Emilia, a witch living in Palermo, Italy, who finds her twin sister Vittoria brutally murdered. She then makes it her mission to find out who is carrying out the murders of young witches in the city and why. In her quest, she inadvertantly summons Wrath, one of the seven Princes of Hell, who is also working to find the murderer. They begin to work together (albeit begrudgingly), stumbling upon all manner of dangerous beings and situations. I really enjoyed the storyline of this book, it was just dark enough for me, and the whole idea of the different Princes of Hell was really fun. I liked Emilia as a character, and I especially liked seeing her become more confident, determined and independent as the book went on and she needed to find her twin's killer. She really turned into a badass character by the end of the book, and I was fully here for it. Wrath was also a really great character, his whole demeanor and personality was something I really enjoyed, and I loved his interactions with Emilia throughout the course of the book. The romance element was also something I'm glad to say I really liked, and I'm really excited to see how that develops going into book two.

Overall, this was a really fun book, particularly for this time of year. The only thing that let it down just slightly me for me was the predictability of some of the twists towards the end, they were a little obvious for me so that was a little disappointing. But as a whole, I would definitely recommend checking this book out when it comes out at the end of the month, just in time for the spooky season!

-4.5 rounded to 5-

I've been struggling with YA fantasy lately and wasn't really expecting much from this book. I was wrong. I was hooked from page one and fell in love with the setting, the descriptions of food, the characters and Maniscalco's seamless writing. Not to mention, who doesn't love to read about dark, brooding Princes of Hell?

I didn't want this to end and if the second instalment is as addictive as the first, then I can see this series being a new favourite of mine.

My only gripe is the ending seemed a little rushed and I wished it was drawn out a bit more. But, other than that this was a thoroughly enjoyable read and I'm excited to see where the series will go.

The premise of this book was really interesting and to my taste. Witches, demons, magic, perfect Autumn book.

The story was also interesting. the only thing that was strange was the modern language that was used for 200 years ago. It would be good to have that consistency. But, overall enjoyable read.

Thanks a lot to the publisher and NG for this copy.

Firstly I want to say thank you so much to Hodderscape for sending me an early review copy of Kingdom of the Wicked. I really appreciate the opportunity you have given me.

WHERE DO I START WITH THIS BOOK. You know that I love a book when I start my review in capital letters. I literally do not know what I want to write because I feel like I am so overwhelmed with my thoughts and feelings. I did start this book a week ago whilst on holiday but I got a couple of chapters in and realised that this book needed my full attention. So I decided to put it down and pick it up when I was home. As soon as I got home I picked it up and ended up more or less reading Kingdom of the Wicked in one sitting. I say more or less because I actually had to put the book down with 30 pages to go because I could not cope with the tension, the anticipation. I did not want the book to end, I did not want to know how the book was going to end.

The plot and the idea behind the book really intrigued me and it definitely lived up to my expectations. I love the idea of a serial killer targeting witches. For me, this is a unique idea that I haven't come across before. I loved the setting of a historic 19th Century Sicily with witchy vibes. What more can you want from a book? Yes there is a romance element in this book. Do I normally like romance in books? No. Did I like this one? Absolutely. Why? It was subtle, I could ignore it if I wanted to (I didn't). Whilst it was part of the book, it wasn't the main part of the book which I really enjoyed.

I absolutely love Kerri's writing style. From the very beginning she adopted a really descriptive and eerie writing style which made me literally imagine everything that was happened, I felt like I was part of the story, one of the characters which in parts this was not a good thing. Kingdom of the Wicked made me SO HUNGRY. Omg all the in depth descriptions of pasta dishes just made me want to eat all of the pasta. I love pasta. Can you tell? I could not put this book down, the writing style just made me want to read more and more and never stop. At certain points of the book I had to make myself slow down my reading. The action increased my heart rate it made me want to read as much as I could as quick as I could. I found that I just wanted to devour it.

The characters were perfect. I love the bond between Emilia and Vittoria, the raw emotion that is portrayed in relation too many aspects of the book especially with this relationship felt beautiful. As a reader I could really feel it. I adored how fiercely Emilia protects the people that she loves. The way she fights for what she believes in. She is such a wonderful female protagonist. Is it bad that I love Wrath? I think I fancy him a little bit. He is a brilliant character, so many times I changed my mind on whether I could trust him or not. I still don't actually know if I can!

THE ENDING. WHY?! KERRI WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO ME. Kingdom of the Wicked has the most frustrating ending that I have ever read. How am I even meant to wait for the next book? I don't even know what to say. I read the last few chapters a couple of times because I thought I had missed something. I have so so many unanswered questions. I don't know how I am going to be able to wait for the next book. I really did love this book and I just need the next one immediately. I love how it has been set up for a sequel and I am so intrigued by what is going to happen next.

I have so much more to say but I am going to leave it there. To sum up: I love this book so much. You should all preorder it and read it. It will be 100% worth it.

I was so lucky to snag myself an eARC of Kingdom of the Wicked, thanks to the publisher. I had been super excited about reading this novel from the moment Kerri Maniscalco posted the announcement on Instagram.

Set in 19th Century Palermo, the story follows the di Carlo twins, Emilia and Vittoria. They're just your average teenage girls; except for the fact that they're witches. All their lives, they've been warned against The Wicked - Demon princes of hell by their Nonna. The twins work at their family restaurant, Sea & Vine. One night, Vittoria misses dinner service, and Emilia, on her quest to locate her sister, finds her body. It's been desecrated - her heart is missing.

Emilia vows vengance on the person responsible for her sister's death. Enter Wrath, one of the demon princes Emilia has been warned about her whole life. Claiming to be on Emilia's side, Wrath has been tasked by the Devil himself to hunt down the killer responsible for the deaths of three women on the island of Sicily, of which Vittoria was the most recent. But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems.

I absolutely loved this book. It felt very cozy for me. It might have to do with the fact that it's set in Italy, and the mention of the food, the smells, just feel instantly like home for me. It might also be the fact that I live for books about witches and demons and intrigue. It might even be the fact that I've loved everything that Kerri Maniscalco has written so far, and her writing style is a comfortable place for me.

I loved the characters. They're all well rounded, but I'll admit that Wrath is probably my favourite. He's your typical bad guy, arrogant and sexy, but he's also a demon prince of Hell so you expect nothing less. The way that he and Emilia interact is great and I really enjoyed their banter.

It's clear that Kerri did her research about the place she was writing about and was really able to bring to life the city to life. It was wonderful to read about places that you can still visit today, such as Castello della Zisa, and I loved the fact that she took the time to discuss the food, too.

Although demons and witches are not a new concept, the way that Kerri worked their narrative together felt different from your average story. Each twist and turn that the narrative took made me question what I already knew from other worlds and their lore.

The only drawback of reading this book as an eARC is that I now have to wait for the next book, and I really can't wait. 5/5 from me, and I cannot wait to get my physical copy when this book goes on sale!

A fast paced book full of great writing, mysterious characters, magic and a murder mystery. What's not to love?

I really enjoyed Kingdom of the Wicked and am looking forward to the next instalment already. I feel like the wait is going to be a slow torture.

Kingdom of the Wicked follows Emilia who ends up on a path of vengeance following her sisters untimely and unexpected death. Emilia will end up going to great lengths to find out who killed her sister, along with the other girls that came before her. With the help of Wrath, who is a mysterious character with his own agenda, they team up to find the elusive killer and to find out why they're murdering these girls.

I loved the dynamic between Emilia and Wrath, clearly enemies but something starts to grow between them. It's fun to watch whilst witnessing the banter between the pair. The Italian setting was wonderful and had me reminiscing on my time there, whilst I also wished I could be back eating some lovely cheesy pasta. I think the contrast of darkness passing over sunny Italy signals what is to come in the future of Emilia's life and how she will change.

I really enjoyed everything about this book. Whilst I first felt that the pacing was slow, this soon picked up and the book completely carried me away. I'd absolutely recommend this if you're looking for a murder mystery mixed with magic, darkness and mysterious characters then you've come to the right place.

I loved this! I was completely hooked on this book. It's got a great main character who fiercely loves her sister and her family. It's got witchcraft and prophesies and long kept secrets. It's got a dark (very dark!) handsome love interest with unknown motivations. And it's got FOOD. The food descriptions are amazing - it made me so hungry!

This title is perfect for Sarah J Maas fans and anyone who loves a dark romantic fantasy. It's slightly gory, but with minimal bad language or sexual content, it's perfect for older teens and above.

**PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT**

Do not read this book whilst you are hungry!! All the food references (except sardines!) made my mouth water and I dreamt about Italian food!

Oh this was superb! And what a perfect story to read close to Halloween!

Murder
Witches
Princes from Hell
Demons
Dastardly goings on......

I was so invested in this story. It was so good! I did want to shake Emilia in some parts due to her questionable decisions and blindness to some situations!

But let's talk about Wrath. Delish with a capital D. Yes. I had a serious crush on him!!

And that bloomin ending! Please. Please. Please. I need the next book now!

And finally I just want to give thanks to the beautiful cover. It made my black heart very happy!!!

This book is set in the 19th Century, Italy, and follows Emilia and her twin sister, Vittoria, and their family of witches, who secretly live amongst humans. When Vittoria’s desecrated body is found, Emilia will stop at nothing to find the culprit and avenge her sister’s death. In attempting to do this, she accidently summons a Prince of Hell, Wrath, who has his own reasons for wanting to find the killer, and together they try and solve her sister’s murder.

I am afraid I really struggled with this one. The prologue was excellent, and I wish the story had focused more on the world-building and history of the witches, but unfortunately, that was skipped over almost entirely. After the prologue, the first couple of chapters seemed to be very rushed and I think I would have appreciated a little more back story, in order to be emotionally invested in the characters and the plot. Everything seemed to be happening a mile a minute, and then, about a quarter way through the book, the plot seemed to grind to a halt, in favour of developing the forbidden and extremely odd romance, between Emilia and Wrath. Wrath is meant to be a Prince of Hell, but to Emilia he is apparently too cute to be feared. You would think that someone who was the descendent of a long line of powerful witches, would have better instincts than that. And because of this new focus, a lot of the mysteries seemed to resolve themselves a little too easily. I also found the ending to be a bit lackluster and predictable, I guessed the culprit quite early on, but I was hoping for a big twist or to be proven wrong, but unfortunately, it never came.

But the thing that really turned me off was the language. This book is set nearly 200 years ago, but because of the language used, the characters and their lives felt very modern. I had to keep reminding myself that this was set in the past, as I kept thinking one of them was going to get in a car or talk on their mobile phone. I found this kept disconnecting me from the story because I couldn’t imagine the setting or the characters as being realistic.

Overall, I think this book had potential, and I would maybe be interested in a sequel if we delve more into the setting and the history of the witches, and if the language was a little more consistent with the time period.

I received a free ARC from the publisher, via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Unfortunately for some reason I couldn't get into this the way I wanted to. I really wanted to LOVE it, but after just finishing it I'm just thinking that it was okay? Maybe I compared it too much to Stalking Jack the Ripper and wanted something like that again, but they really aren't the same. The story isn't that focussed on mystery (which I expected), but more so on the witchy/fantasy/demon aspect. Which is fine in itself, I just had different expectations I guess? There's also the main character, who just really annoyed me with most of the stuff she did 😂🙈 The world itself is interesting though and I would love to learn more about the Kingdom of the Wicked in the next book, but yeah overall I'm just a bit disappointed. I even guessed who done it!! Which I never do 😅

I would still recommend it to anyone who thinks the synopsis sounds interesting, however do not go into this thinking it'll have the same vibes as SJTR (like I did) 🙈

Thank you to NetGalley and JIMMY Patterson for approving an ARC.

In kingdom of the wicked we follow Emilia as she attempts to uncover the truth of her twin sisters murder and get revenge. Set in our own world but full of witches, demons and magic. Maniscalco’s writing was so addictive and the atmosphere was so on point. It felt so dark and spooky. This was perfect for the month of October and how I want to read all of her other books.

I really enjoyed reading from the perspective of our main character Emilia. In the beginning of the book she was the more reserved twin, whereas her sister Vitoria was the one who was bold and would rush into a situation. Emilia tried to be more like Vitoria throughout the book but she still remains a girl who had very limited power and no fighting skills which I found quite refreshing for a ya fantasy.

I also appreciated that this didn’t take the routes which I expected it to. The end goal was what I thought it would be but the reveal at the end and the way the relationships went were not what I thought and that was actually a good thing.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for those spooky vibes but still has fantasy elements and addictive writing.
