Kingdom of the Feared (Kingdom of the Wicked)

I bought the first book at barns and nobles not knowing what it was and grabbing a book real quick before the hubby made me hurry. WELL a week and a half later and I already finished book 2 and 3!!I've never been so addicted to a book that when I wasn't reading it then it was all I was thinking about. The love is intense which was nice, I never read a book that had intimate scenes in it so that was a great surprise. The murders, betrayal, mystery, love, hate, demons,witches, vampires. It literally has it all!I would give this book a 10/10 stars if I could! From the 1st book to the 3rd book it was just on the edge of my seat wanting more and wishing it didn't end!

Spoiler alert...I'm so glad she got some of her powers back. I will say I'm not a fan of that trope when the main character losses all of their power. This was definitely and interesting read and had a lot of twist I wasn't expecting. I do feel like some things needed to be wrapped up I wish we had a final conversation with her grandmother and parents. And also what were the vampires trying to do. I did sort of miss like a final epic battle. But overall the book was a solid read.

KM thank you so much for this book. You are a genius. This book is one of best books i read this MONTH, YEAR even. Seriously 👌👌👌 PURE PERFECTION. This book deserves much more than 10 stars WOW 😲😲😲 What i liked in this book? EVERYTHING: the relationship btw our main couple, the steamy scenes (so well written 😳🤤)After reading the book i completely fall in love with Wrath's character. What a character. I loved everything he did since the beginning to the end of the book... and what a end!!! The scenes with the wings (yes both scenes) just loved it 😍 they are perfect 👌 i'm ruined because of this book. Other stuff i loved:The scenes btw Emilia and one of the brothers, specially the one who turned out to be a closest friend in the end. After Wrath, he turned out to be my second favorite. The final scenes btw Victoria and Emilia. I loved the way it ended for them. I read this book in two days. I would love to read more books about this universe. What about Lucia and Pride? The book ended with a lot of potencial for other stories. I would certainly read more about this brothers, with Emilia and Wrath in the mix helping as well, bc they are just perfect 👌 Emilia flashbacks scenes about her and Wrath and the memory scenes in the well: Awesome! The scenes between all the brothers. They are all so interesting and their scenes are so well written. I loved Emili'a story and her powers and what she and Wrath did to each other for love, Wrath's actions everytime Emilia was in danger, what he was able to do to get to her 😍 the same applies for Emilia about Wrath everytime he was hurt or in danger. Just perfect. I'm so glad to have found this books. Thank you Kerri. Don't stop writing 😊

“Subtlety isn’t your strong suit.”“Subtlety is for cowards, my lady.”The way it hurts because this is not a 5 star for me is just unbelievable lol but only because I absolutely adored this series so much and this one is my highly anticipated read for the whole of 2022. While I enjoyed it on a high level since you get answers to the questions we wanted, I am unfortunately underwhelmed by the installment. It was quite inconsistent on so many aspects in comparison to her other two books, I absolutely enjoyed KOTW and LOVED KOTC although it veered off in an unexpected path. I loved how it surprised me and challenged me as a reader trying to solve the mysteryWhat I liked:-YA to NA transition-Answered the nagging questions-Envy's character and dialogues-The most awaited romance that finally happens-The foreshadowing for possible future books-Bittersweet moments with Wrath-The air of intrigue and the concept of shadow realm-The wicked, cursed and feared world as a wholeWhat I struggled with:Kingdom of the Feared starts off where we left off in KOTC and in fact starts off strong but it quickly became confusing because of the way the author chose to play out the plot, the pacing was off and the story is all over the place. I was taken aback by how the characterizations have drastically changed from how they were initially presented, yes some of them had a reason and yet I felt the transition wasn't as smooth. Emilia's and a certain come back character's characters were inconsistent most of the times, instead of coming off as strong because of constant weathering of storms, Emilia comes off as unsure and confused, I enjoy a good character arc from being a naive heroine to a powerful protagonist but her character did not do it for me.I was also upset about how Wrath's character had to take a back seat and how we got a watered down version of fierce, witty demon from hell. I understand this is Emilia's moment to shine but his character is quite underutilized. There were spicy scenes and to Kerri's credit she did well with them but after the first one, I thought their placement was odd hence losing the emotional value. I missed the angst and the connection Emilia and Wrath had in the first two booksThere were too many sub-plots going on which I was invested in BUT they should've been established in KOTC rather than dropping them out of blue in this book but again that is my personal opinion. My other major issue is lack of strong antagonist and presenting crucial plot twists in a "matter of fact" tone, which in turn took away the conflict points and the anticipation that comes with the conflict. There were so many loose ends or the solutions at times felt too convenient, I felt like the ending is unsatisfying and frustrating because I had way too many questions even after I finished the book.I loved Envy and Pride and wished to be more invested in their characters, with all the foreshadowing I am hoping we get more books with them so I can appease a little bit of my unsatisfied feelings.

This was a fabulous ending to these characters. So much happened from start to finish. I’m sad to see it end just when everyone was coming together. So much left open for more.

I really enjoyed the first book of the series, didn't love the 2nd book, and waited 2 years to write this review of the 3rd, considering my notes were a series of curse words. I may have given this 4 stars, but honestly I kinda wished I hadn't.It annoyed me, I still remember feeling so frustrated with the characters and was like FINALLY, Emilia get your head out of your ass and start being smart. Then getting the twist like we did, and I'm like throw my hands up and say I give up.But I did love the settings, and Hell is interesting, but I kinda felt the same about Emilia as I did about Jude and Carden (The Cruel Prince series)... ugh.Only quote I cared for:I used to love wearing flowers in my hair, now I loved watching them turn into pretty weapons and destroying my enemies.

Muito bom

Synopsis:Emilia learns some news about her sister's death. Some truths come to light about who she is. She also learns some secrets about her past, including her sister, grandmother, and mother. Emilia is surprised to learn who The Feared are.She longs for Wrath in every way possible and is determined to find out more about the curse and how to break it so they can truly be together in all forms.The book introduces a murder and some devious witches wreaking havoc among The Wicked and the 7 circles. Emilia, Wrath, and his brothers try to stop the never-ending chaos.Emilia is torn by a massive decision she has to make in order to make things right.My Review:Love, love, love this series. I enjoyed following Emilia on her journey and watching her grow into who she is. She had to cross different situations, and paths to finally be one with herself.The love between her and Wrath propelled their relationship to a new level, making them the strongest couple of the 7 Circles.This final book had many twists, turns, and surprises, which kept me wanting to read more.Chaos, danger, and learned truths were a pleasant element to the third and final book of the series.Although I wish there were more stories following these two characters and their families, the ending finished well enough to close out the story.I am very excited that there is a new series coming out in October (Which I have preordered on Amazon, but it also available at Barnes and Noble), revolving around another person of the 7 circles (well, 8 circles). "Throne of the Fallen"Highly recommend.

**Fesselndes Finale der Kingdom of the Wicked-Reihe!**„**Kingdom of the Feared**“ bietet einen spannenden und fesselnden Abschluss der beliebten Fantasy-Romanreihe.

Die Charaktere und die Welt, die aufgebaut wurde, sind tiefgründig und faszinierend. Ein würdiger Abschluss für alle, die die Reihe verfolgt haben!

5/5Incredibly satisfying end of the Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy.I’m at risk of being bias - I’m obsessed with anything hell related.Witches, vampires, princes of hell, demons, hexed objects; Death, fury and vengeance.I love Emilia’s growth and character development throughout the entire series. Emilia is a character I’m extremely fond of, and part of me is gutted that the series has ended. I want more!The smut isn’t cringe worthy - it’s tasteful and well written.The words flow, and the writing style allows for a comfortable and engaging read.Each book is refreshing and has its own unique personality. You could read all three books back to back and have a different experience with each one.The books all got better as they went on. I’d say my order from least favoured to most would be book 1, 2, and 3.Very clever plot development - a very clever series. I personally kept being surprised and excited by every twist and turn.The trilogy would definitely make a wonderful tv series/film adaptation.I love this author and have enjoyed her work time and time again.

I really, really enjoyed this series. This last book was a tiny bit disappointing on some aspects as I felt the plot was less intense to make way for the spicy romance, but I still had a good time reading it. It was intense, don't get me wrong, not the kind of intense I expected. I really love Emilia and how she fights for what she wants, no matter the cost. The plot twists of the second book had me gasping and I was excited to see what it would entail for this one. It was interesting to see her understand things as she went and her story was really interesting. Hard to say more without spoiling everything. I also really enjoyed the spice, of course, which was hot and worth the slowburn. The romance was good and I liked how the two protagonists came together and built a real relationship, which was off to a bad start. The descriptions of this book are really well written and it's very easy to imagine everything and feel like we're there with the characters, which I really enjoyed. The writing in itself is quite addictive and immersive and makes this whole story even better. I am also a big fan of the world and how the author made the mythology and legends hers. All in all, a great book.I highly recommend this series if you want an adult fantasy romance with plot twists and powerful characters."Love and hate are both rooted in passion- strange how that line becomes blurred over time."TW: violence, blood, murder, assault, kidnapping, sexual content, death, abuse, torture
