My pulse accelerated and I wanted to throw things and ravage and scream and burn the darn book (YES I came this close to committing the most ungodly sacrilege) and get drunk (YES I did stop reading in order to CONSUME ALCOHOL to calm my nerves - and that's from a person who drinks only TWICE a year). It took a tremendous amount of effort to turn the pages, to witness the fall of the characters that always managed to put a smile on my face. Escaping from Houdini was an insult to my emotions, my sanity, and the very heroes Kerri Maniscalco so lovingly created. I've never been this disappointed or frustrated because of a book.

I AM JUST GOING TO PRETEND THAT THIS BOOK NEVER HAPPENED. Two other un-named titles will also be set within the KOTW world and will follow two different princes.įor more information, visit Kerri online: She is the #1 NYT and USA Today bestselling author of the STALKING JACK THE RIPPER quartet, the KINGDOM OF THE WICKED trilogy, and her forthcoming adult debut, THRONE OF THE FALLEN, set within the KINGDOM OF THE WICKED universe. In her spare time she reads everything she can get her hands on, cooks all kinds of food with her family and friends, and drinks entirely too much tea while discussing life’s finer points with her cats. Kerri Maniscalco grew up in a semi-haunted house outside NYC where her fascination with gothic settings began. And I've also been known to share snippets and teasers from my upcoming novels, if you're into that sort of thing.) Please feel free to chat with me there I love talking with fellow readers!

I'm mostly on instagram-where I'm always ready to talk fictional crushes and nerd out over books.
