Über diesen Titel
All hail the king and queen of Hell.
Two curses. One prophecy. A reckoning all have feared. And a love more powerful than fate....
From the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series comes the dazzling conclusion to the Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy.
Emilia is reeling from the shocking discovery that her twin sister, Vittoria, is alive. But before she faces the demons of her past, Emilia yearns to claim her king, the seductive Prince of Wrath, in the flesh. Emilia doesn't simply desire his body, she wants his heart and soul—but that's something the enigmatic demon can't promise her.
When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, Emilia and Wrath are drawn to the rival demon court. Damning evidence points to Vittoria as the murderer, and she's quickly declared an enemy of the Seven Circles. Despite her betrayal, Emilia will do anything to solve this new mystery and find out who her sister really is.
Together Emilia and Wrath play a sin-fuelled game of deception as they work to stop the unrest that's brewing between witches, demons, shape-shifters and the most treacherous foes of all: the Feared.
Emilia was warned that when it came to the Wicked, nothing was as it seemed. But, have the true villains been much closer all along? When the truth is finally revealed, it just might end up costing Emilia her heart.

1. I understand that there needs to be a turning point for the story to come to an end and you could explain it away, somewhat, that it works. Yes, it kinda does. Still, the sudden change in the behaviour of one of the characters, needed to move forward, comes very sudden and very abruptly. If previously, hints would have been dropped that they were masquerading, for example, then it would have made more sense. Now, one could, of course, say that the character did play pretend or the likes, but there is no clear indication to the reader/listener for that, in my opinion.
2. I didn't come here for the spice, but I don't mind it. However, at one point, it does become a little much. Not every sexy-time-scene would have had to be written out in full detail and, at times, it felt like a page-filler, as it was written in so much detail, considering that it contributed absolutely nothing to the story itself. Also, at least personally, I find there's one scene where it's just plain weird, everything considered, for them to start banging. Something life-changing, even traumatising, just happened and then... Yeah. As said, everything about the characters involved taken into consideration, I still think it's quite a big moment, and the response just bizarre.
Still, it's entertaining and I'm rather satisfied with how it all turned out.

Emilia und ihr Höllenfürst können kaum ein Wort wechseln ohne gleich zur Sache zu kommen. Und das F...-Wort muss doch wirklich nicht sein, oder bin ich da zu oldschooled?
Die Geschichte ist teilweise völlig unlogisch.
Zum Beispiel die Sache mit dem Fluch. Wieviel mehr Liebe soll ihr König ihr denn noch zeigen? Also bitte,
Und dann opfert sie alles, um Ende zu erfahren, dass die Hexe einfach nur hätte getötet werden müssen. Wäre dazu nicht wirklich genügend Zeit gewesen? Aber sie ist natürlich trotzdem im 7.Himmel. Endlich hat keiner mehr Angst vor ihr, sie kann in Ruhe kochen gehen und ihr Prinz trägt sie für alle Ewigkeit auf Händen. Ach ne......
Actually, I thought we were in the youth book section here, but I'm not sure if volume 3 is really aimed at teenagers. I am honestly surprised by the author, what happened?
Emilia and her Prince of Hell can hardly exchange a word without getting straight to the point. And the f...-word really doesn't have to be there so often, or am I too oldschooled?
Some of the story is completely illogical.
For example, the thing with the curse. How much more love is her king supposed to show her? Well, then she sacrifices everything to find out that the curse could also be broken by killing the first witch. Wouldn't there really have been enough time for that? But she's still in seventh heaven, of course. Finally no one is afraid of her anymore, she can go cooking in peace and her prince carries her on his hands for all eternity. Ah ne......
