Throne of the Fallen

First few chapters promises another incredible release from one of my favourite auto buy authors!

Full review to come after release day!

If there's the name of Kerri Maniscalco on a book, I'll read it!
So, I've 67 pages, but I definitely need more.
I need all the book right now.

Kerri Maniscalco's writing has a certain quality to it that makes it easy to be immersed in a story and want to keep reading it, despite this being a mere sampler, and to put it mildly I am enchanted. I simply can’t wait enough to read the full book already!

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.

This sampler promises to be a fantastic book once it releases. I am a big fan of the KOTW trilogy so I'm excited to see what happens with another Prince of Hell!! And the fact that there's a competition involved- sign me up!!

Loved every second of this teaser and I’m super excited to read the rest. I’m not going to lie, I thought this was the whole book. But one should be so lucky. Bring on October where I get to read the full book!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I love Kerri Maniscalco and I love this world she has created. I'm a HUUUUGE fan of her Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy, and Throne of the Fallen is my most anticipated release of the year!

I've only read the sample chapters 1-5 which corresponds to 67 pages as someone else wrote here on Goodreads. Camilla is a strong main lead, resourceful and with a "get out of my way, incompetent people & arrogant men" vibe and I loved it! Envy has already surprised me with his depth that we only get a tiny glimpse of, so I can't wait to read more.

The first 5 chapters only left me wanting this book much more.

/Full review of the entire book will come as soon as I read it. 😂/

Just a few chapter and now I can't wait to read the book!
Prince Envy is playing a deadly game and one of the clues bring him to Camilla, an artist who owns a gallery. I
adored Envy from Kingdom of the Wicked series and loved Camilla just from the five chapters.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a sampler in exchange for an honest review.

This was only the first 5 chapters of Throne of the Fallen, but I am already hooked! I can't wait to get my hands on the full story on October 3rd! I loved Envy in KM's Kingdom series so I am super excited! I'm also really intrigued by Camilla's character!

An exciting insight into the work, I’m very much intrigued by the characters and looking forward to getting to know them after enjoying the previous trilogy in the series about Wrath. The author never fails to build interesting societies and characters with building tension. Looking forward to reading more.

Thanks to NetGalley for the sampler ARC.

Applied for this book before I realised it was a sample (I was just too excited).
But what I read I LOVED. The Kingdom of the wicked series is one of my favourites, so I'm so so excited to see how this one will be with the full version! (Hoping for more books about the other princes of hell!)

I loved every second of this sampler, these five chapters really drew me in and captivated me and left me wanting more. I cannot wait to see the depth of Envy's character and read more of Camilla story, who i already fell in love with just from the five chapters.
full review to come once ive read the entire book!

Absolutely brilliant!! I’m so intrigued by these first few chapters! I love Camilla so much, she seems smart and witty and I can’t wait to read more about her and Envy!

Why do I do this to myself? I should have waited and read the full book once is out available. I loved it and it sets the vibe for a great story

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this sample of Throne of the Fallen.
I have to say that I really adore Camilla and Envy. I can't wait to read their whole story. Kerri did an amazing job.

Thank you for the sample. It was a great taste of what's to come in Throne of the Fallen and I can't wait to read more! I'll definitely be ordering this book.

I loved these first few chapters and I really can’t wait to have the final copy in my hands. I loved the Wicked series and I’m very excited to get back into one of Maniscalco’s books.

Thanks NetGalley for the first five chapters, they were mind blowing!!!!! I am toooooo excited for the full picture so let’s bring this!!!

I loved the kingdom of the wicked series and if you did it too you will devour this book.
Love it this far, full review will be posted after the whole book is published.

this little snippet was so fun and i cant wait to read the full novel in only a few days!! maniscalco is too good <3

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free preview in exchange for a review.

I am so unbelievably excited for this book!! I love this world and I love this writing and this preview has only solidified how desperate I am for the actual physical book.

Please can I have it now.

5 stars of excitement.

Big thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for the chance to review this sample pre-release. Was a good sneek peek of the book, excited to see what is in store for Envy and Camille.

There's nothing Kerri Maniscalco writes that I don't like. This book is no exception!

A twisted game, the unexpected twists, the growing tension and the angst, this book is absolute perfection.

Prince of Envy receives a cryptic note signaling the beginning of a deadly game that might cost him everything including his demon court. Camilla Antonius makes a mistake that might bring her to ruin. To avoid such a scandal, she makes a bargain with Envy, one that will unlock a side of her she didn’t know existed, while travelling through the underworld. But can they survive the game and not lose their hearts to each other in the process?

The tension between Envy and Camilla is insane! It really is from enemies to lovers done in an absolutely beautiful way. As they are forced to work together after their bargain, it was a treat to see their relationship develop. Their constant bickering and challenging was like watching a tennis match, but it also made it obvious that these two are the perfect pair. It was also great to get to know Envy a bit more, considering his short appearances in the previous books.

These are very complex characters, with their secrets and dark pasts. They progressively warm out to each other, but not in the traditional way. Reading about Envy’s heart skipping a beat when Camilla makes him canolli? Oh, my heart.

I was already introduced to this world before, but Maniscalco presents new sides of it, giving it even more depth. Vampires, fae, demons and so many other species are introduced in this book, it was great and unexpected. Loved it!

Perfection right here. Loved this book, can’t wait for the next one that, by the looks of the end, is Pride’s turn to have an adventure!

A huge thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this sample. I was so excited to re-enter hell and see the chaos that Prince Envy was causing, and this sneak peek at the book absolutely did not disappoint/led me to pre-ordering the book! The idea of the game made for an intriguing plot line and I can’t wait to see how Envy and Camilla’s story comes together.

I truly enjoyed this sampler of the first 5 chapters, it gives you a good taste of what's to come. I love where story is headed and think envy will be my new book boyfriend. I have ordered the book and I'm ready to read the rest.

Thank you for the opportunity to sample this book

Throne of the Fallen is the first book in a new story by Kerri Maniscalco set in the same world as the Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy. This time our main hero is Envy, brother to Wrath from KOTW and another prince of hell. A curse has hit his court meaning it is slowly declining. Through a set of clues, Envy is set of solving this curse to restore his strength and his court.
Camilla is our heroine. She’s a highly talented artist who works in her father’s gallery following her mother’s abandonment and fathers ill health and death. After painting something rather risqué and damaging to her social status, a young Lord begins blackmailing her into painting forgeries and generally being sleazy and horrible to her as a way of exercising control over her. She appears very headstrong and independent but no matter how much independence she holds, society is always pushing its expectations and rules on her.
The two meet when Envy tries to commission a piece from her under the name Lord Synton Ashford. A rather ironic fake name for a prince of hell. He is immediately shut down and is left dumbstruck by Camilla’s rejection.
The sample left me wanting more and I really look forward to the whole book being released. Seeing teasers of the other princes in the KOTW trilogy led to more excitement for Maniscalco’s new book. I look forward to its release!
Thank you for the sample!

I don't think I even needed the sampler to know this was going to be a 5 star read but there you go. Ended up waiting until the day before release so I could jump straight into the full book - the sampler was good but the book was incredible.

Nice little preview, can't wait to read the whole thing. I'm really interested in the dynamic between Envy's and Camilla's personalities.

I absolutely devoured this sample. A wicked prince of Envy set on unravelling a twisted game meets a headstrong but down-on-her luck artist who just might be the key to it all. Camilla feels like a mature, level-headed protagonist, which I always look for in my books because juvenile POV characters enrage me. The plot is incredibly engaging and kept me turning the pages.
I enjoyed the first book in Maniscalco's previous series but felt like the series declined and I didn't read the third. I'm so glad this seems to be a return to form, and I am going to pick up the full book ASAP!

This has left me with wanting more of this book! The first pages have been very tense and angsty. After reading this excerpt, I have bought the book right away, I don´t know what awaits me for the rest of the book, but I need to know what comes next.

This has to be my favourite KM book yet. The world she has created is deliciously intoxicating and sinful and I could not get enough. The tension build up was perfectly done, and even some of the twists in the plot had me reeling. I loved that we got some brief visits from favourite characters from the KOTW series, but it didn't detract from the journey the MCs were on
