I love Kerri Maniscalco's books a lot! In particular I am madly smitten with the "Kingdom of the Wicked" trilogy!

I have a huge crush on Wrath, BUT among the various Princes of Hell, Envy has always been the one to intrigue me the most (followed very closely by Pride and Lust). So the idea of having a book about Envy, complete with his pov, made me scream out loud! Because yes, "Throne of the Fallen" is a spin-off adult fantasy romance centered on Envy and Camilla! A book I've been eagerly awaiting since its announcement and for which, thanks to this sample, I have even more eagerness!

Envy and Camilla, protagonists with their respective third person povs, have captivated me with just these five chapters (plus the prologue) alone! Okay, actually they had captured me even before I read the extract, on trust, but now that I have read it I can confirm my high interest! The Prince of Envy is a charming, cocky, manipulative, tempting and cunning man who wears many masks, under which he hides secrets and perhaps some fragility. Camilla is a painter, owner of an art gallery, plagued by money problems and in debt to a notorious rake due to a desperate mistake. A determined, proud and intelligent woman, who loves the idea of being free from social conventions.

When a deadly game leads Envy into Camilla's gallery, sparks fly immediately. I know, I simply know, that they will give me great joys! These few interactions were enough for me to melt! The chemistry between them is really hot! Between sizzling banter and heated teasing, I went into a swoon! Help, I need to read more of Envy and Camilla!

I really need to read Throne of the Fallen and can't wait for release day to devour it completely!

Thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for giving me a sampler of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A secret letter and feather signals the beginning of a deadly game for the Prince of Envy and his court. Rules must be followed or consequences may include up to death. One of the clues brings the Prince of Envy to Camilla who is not easily fooled by a pretty face, but when he stalks like a wolf and stares with Emerald eyes she’s feeling a flush of heat.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this sampler in exchange for an honest review.
