A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A Curse So Dark and Lonely was such a fun read. I was drawn into this drama so deep, it felt like I was a part of it.
I had my popcorn, I had my sword, I had my opinions on the relationships; it was quite the experience.
I’m super excited to see where it goes from here and will definitely be continuing on with the series. I have some theories, I have some suspicions, I can’t wait to see the conclusion.
I actually read this as Book #15 for my TBR-Haul Project. It feels so good to finally check it off the list!
I originally hauled this book in January 2019. In fact, I was so stoked about its release, having loved previous works from Kemmerer, that I actually preordered it.
Yeah, that’s right. I preordered it, paid full price and then let her sit on my shelves for 4-years, UNREAD. Even I am disappointed with myself.
Nevertheless, she persisted. It is now read and I had such a fun time with it. I loved the whole idea of the portal from the modern world transporting Harper into the magical world inhabited by Ren and Grey.
Additionally, I felt like the influence of Beauty and the Beast was just enough to keep it satisfying, without being stereotypical, or toeing into copycat lane. I may have some further thoughts on this at some point, but for now, this is sufficient.
Onward we go!!!
