A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

43204703. sy475


Summary

Fall in love, break the curse.

Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year, Prince Rhen, the heir of Emberfall, thought he could be saved easily if a girl fell for him. But that was before he turned into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. Before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.
Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, Harper learned to be tough enough to survive. When she tries to save a stranger on the streets of Washington, DC, she's pulled into a magical world.

Break the curse, save the kingdom.

Harper doesn't know where she is or what to believe. A prince? A curse? A monster? As she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what's at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.


My Thoughts

I have come to realize that I own so many books that I still haven't read!  So, I decided to write each one on a piece of paper and put it in a big jar.  So now, just about every Friday, I pick one of the book titles from my TBR Jar and I read that book.  Recently, I picked A Curse So Dark and Lonely.

I was pretty excited to pick this book up.  I love retellings so I knew that I would enjoy this one.  I was not disappointed.

This book was actually a lot more intense than I expected!  I have already recommended it to a few people and I'm sure I will continue to recommend it to others.

Now, the only problem is that there is a sequel that I will HAVE to pick up soon!
