Kerri Maniscalco grew up in a semi-haunted house outside NYC where her fascination with Gothic settings began. 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. She is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper quartet.

Wrath and Emilia could have just signed up for PornHub and people will cheer. If this was named 'Kingdom of the Horny', I would have probably understand and give another star for living up to its title but uh.... no 🫶🏻......more
The only good thing about this book is the spice✨ The author completely messed up in this one. I think the sole purpose to write this book for her was to write smut, which is nicely done but the overall plot has nothing to offer. The characters have such a huge personality change and by that I me......more
i love the direction this series went with book #2, and i think this concluding installment does the overall story justice. its books like these that perfectly argue why the NA genre needs to be more of a thing in the publishing world. while this didnt quite excite me as much as ‘kingdom of the curse......more
Kingdom of the Feared was a complete waste of anticipation, expectations, time, money and all the trees that had to be cut down in order for this to be put on paper. I'll start by saying sex ≠ romance. I wish people nowadays understood that. I have nothing against sex in romance books or in real life......more
Praise for Kingdom of the Wicked:
"An intoxicating, tightly plotted feast for the senses with a dramatic cliffhanger."—Kirkus Reviews
"The characters are richly drawn; the worldbuilding is smart, based on historical events and infused with magic; and the page-turning plot is a force to be reckoned with. Food, family, magic, and romance are threaded into this propulsive story, making it a thrilling, wondrous, and atmospheric tale."—Booklist
"Lyrical writing and an immersive atmosphere accompany a well-built world rooted in 19th-century Palermo, especially evocative descriptions of food prepared in the family's restaurant, while intriguing plot twists round off the novel."—Publishers Weekly
Praise for the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling series Stalking Jack the Ripper:
*"A marvelous yet somewhat gruesome mystery...an unexpected twist makes the ending worth the wait. A must-have." —School Library Journal, starred review
"Maniscalco has created a serious, sharp-minded, and forward-thinking protagonist in Audrey Rose, whose fearlessness will endear her to readers looking for an engaging historical thriller. Abundant red herrings and a dash of romance round out this gruesome but engrossing story."
—Publisher's Weekly
"Audrey Rose Wadsworth prefers breeches to ball gowns, autopsies to afternoon tea, and scalpels to knitting needles. Though her father, Lord Edmund, has forbidden it, Audrey covertly studies forensic medicine...while "the Ripper" remains two steps ahead, lurking where Audrey least expects....Maniscalco's portrayal of scientific invention in a newly industrial era will serve as a fine first foray into Victorian classics."
—Booklist
"Kerri Maniscalco once again combines adventure, romance, murder and Victorian manners into an intoxicating cocktail that brings the story of this tenacious young forensic scientist to a satisfying conclusion."—Knoxville News Sentinel
"Audrey is a young woman eager to use her brains and willing to flaunt society's rules....This mystery pays homage to classics like Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein [and] will satisfy those readers looking for historical mystery, a witty heroine, and a little romance."
—School Library Connection
"There are plenty of suspects and red herrings as well as tense escalations....A scenic, twisty mystery." —Kirkus Reviews
"Audrey Rose is a witty, resourceful feminist who refuses to bow to Victorian-era gender norms. This dark, gothic landscape is peopled with nuanced, diverse characters who keep readers enthralled. A gripping mystery with a compelling heroine and just the right touch of romance." —Kirkus Reviews
