Kingdom of the Wicked is the first book in the new upcoming series of Kerri Maniscalco. The book follows the life of Emilia, a young witch who lives with her family in Sicily. Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are forced to live in secret among the humans to avoid notice and persecution. However, when witches started turning up dead, they can't help but wonder who's responsible for this witch hunt. One night, Emilia's twin sister's body was found after she didn't turn up on the family dinner. Emilia is set to seek revenge and goes to find Vittoria's killer. She's willing to do absolutely anything to bring the brutal monster that killed her sister justice; even if that means she needs to use the one thing that is forbidden at all costs... dark magic.
Along the way she finds herself falling in love with the not so warm hearted prince of Hell, Wrath. Although their bond seems strong, they really seem to know how to push each other's buttons. Both can't deny to have a soft spot for one another, but as Heaven and Hell lie far from each other, should they really trust each other?

In Daughter of the Pirate King, the seventeen year old Alosa is sent on a mission to retrieve a part of a map. Alosa is the daughter of the well known pirate king. A merciless man with almost no compassion and a heart cold as ice. Because of him, Alosa became one of the best captains to ever rule the ocean.
To be able to go on a legendary treasure trove, Alosa needs an ancient map that was split in three divided over three great captains. One of them was her father. Now she is set to steal the second part. Therefor, she lets herself get captured by her enemy, what gives her the perfect opportunity to learn the location of the map.
But there is only one problem standing in her way: the utterly and most attractive first mate, Riden. The chemistry between the two rises and although their worlds seem to go upside down, Alosa can't forget her mission. She will and must succeed at all costs and no handsome pirate can stop the daughter of the pirate king.

A curse so dark and lonely, the retelling story of the all time Beauty and the Beast.
Punished because of an unforgivable decision in his past, prince Rhen is cursed to relive the autumn of his eighteenth summer. As prince of Emberfall, Rhen thought it would be easy to lift the curse, but as time passes by, he realises it won't be as easy as he thought it would be.
Like every fairy tale there is a strong love required that can destroy any curse in the universe. The only thing Rhen needs to break the curse is to fall in love and make the girl he fell for fall in love with him too. And to his luck, he may or may not have found that girl.
Harper has never had the easy love; a father that abandoned her, a dead mother and a brother who doesn't believe in her, life can be quite difficult for the seventeen year old girl. Because of all the misfortune in her life, she learned to be an independent and strong woman. Tough enough to survive the horrors of this world. But as she tries to save a stranger on the streets of Washington, she's pulled into a new world full of magic and awe.
There are a few problems though. As powerful forces stand against Emberfall, the clock keeps ticking away. Will the curse be broken? Or will time run them out?
Friday Finds is a weekly event that focuses on books I've found this week and added to my reading list.
