Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu

4.0

I totally judge books by their cover. All the time. I try not to but it can't be helped. I mean, just look at this- it's ridiculous. Completely stunning. So I bought it. BUT in this case, the inside is just as spectacular.

This was a unique experience; some prominent real world issues thrown into a fantasy world with kingdoms and witches, magic and curses.

Don't be fooled by the pretty cover though, this book has dark themes. When the author includes a warning at the beginning, you better pay attention.

As a woman, reading this hit close to home. It read like a fantasy retelling of "Catch and Kill" by Ronan Farrow. A lot of the story line revolves around women being silenced so it felt heavy at times knowing a lot of this "fictional story" is frighteningly real but Corey gives us hope for a better world (even if we don't have magic)

This one will stay with me for a while. Maybe forever...
