Thank you to NetGalley for this ALC. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
What would you do if someone told you the legends were real? Would you believe them? For Ari (Ariadne) that's exactly what happened. Returning to Brittany, France, where her Fiancee drowned, she meets Raphael. A man who claims his family is cursed, specifically that he is cursed. From this, all Ari wants to do is find a way to break it. Turning her into believer like her Fiancee, who spent his life and resources, researching and looking for clues to find the lost city of Ys.
This had loads of things I loved in a book. It was steeped in tales, folklore, legend, magic and a curse! It had mystery, some romance a legendary WItch. I was intrigued from the beginning. I also enjoyed the tension surrounding the diving crew on their quest to find clues, I loved the twists and turns throughout the story too!
The author built this story really well. She's managed to intricatey weave elements of the past into the present as the story unfolds. Thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to reading more from Jessica Thorne.
