A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

4.0

I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this book. I put off reading it for so long because of the fairytale retelling story. But I was hooked from the first line! I would have to force myself to put this book down.

The multiple POV was nice, however I wish we had more than one of Grey’s POV. After the ending though I believe the second book will have more POVs, so I am looking forward to that.

I would describe this book as a fast paced, dark and realistic beauty and the beast. Very much a what would happen if beauty and the beast were real, while still being a fantasy book.

Harper was an amazing main character who was strong and brave yet had realistic flaws. Rhen acted exactly how a prince cursed for 300 years would have acted. And Grey was the stereotypical loyal guard who had lots of growth and I loved so much.
