Disclosure: Book contains bad language and ALOT of sexual content
A dark prince battling an impossible curse
The prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint. But when a cryptic note arrives, signaling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win save his falling demon court--though none of his meticulous plans prepare him for her, the frustrating artist who ignites his sin like no other...
A mysterious artist with secrets of her own
The trouble with scoundrels is that they haven't a modicum of honor, a fact Miss Camilla Antonius learns after one of her Waverly Green's most notorious rakes attempts to blackmail her. To avoid a ruinous scandal, Camilla must enter a devil's bargain with Envy, unaware his game will awaken her true nature...
One last chance to be set free
Together, Envy and Camilla embark on a perilous journey through the Underworld--from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm and beyond--while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.
This is not the first series by Kerri Maniscalco that I have read. About a year ago, I delved into her Kingdom of the Wicked series, which I recommend reading before Throne of the Fallen. This latest book serves as a continuation, focusing on a new Deadly Sin Brother. I genuinely enjoy Maniscalco's writing; however, I must caution that her work is heavily influenced by the House of Lust, as this sin is quite prominent throughout her narratives. If you prefer stories without explicit content in nearly every chapter, her books might not be the best fit for you.
For those intrigued, I believe my own deadly sin house would be the House of Sloth, which I was delighted to see portrayed so vividly in this book. Now, regarding the book itself, Kerri Maniscalco excels at weaving storylines and plots that keep readers engaged, even when, like me, they might grow weary of the frequent sexual content. I find myself enduring the explicit scenes because the plot and characters are so compelling that I can't help but want to discover what happens next.
The witty banter among the characters is some of the best I’ve encountered, particularly the playful exchanges between the main heroine, Camilla, and the Prince of Envy, which are both hysterical and tantalizing. Maniscalco also possesses a remarkable talent for crafting shocking twists and turns that keep you on your toes, making it nearly impossible to set her books down. Most characters are devious and shrouded in secrets, embodying a plethora of sins that may resonate with readers. Each character can easily play the villain in someone else's story while also emerging as a hero in their own, highlighting how easily we can misjudge others based on our perceptions. This also serves as a reminder that we can be mistaken in our own choices when considering another's perspective.
Just when you think you've figured out a character, a new twist unfolds. One character, in particular, left me utterly shocked at the end, but I won’t spoil that surprise.
