Sylas and Primrose may come from different worlds, but their hardships mirror each other in ways they don’t immediately see. Sylas, weighed down by heartbreak, betrayals, and curses, is convinced he’s beyond saving. Primrose, on the other hand, is desperately fighting for her freedom from a manipulative family that has controlled her life for too long. Their slow realization that they’re exactly what the other needs makes for a deeply satisfying romance, packed with tension, longing, and plenty of witty banter.

I really enjoyed the first book, but this one didn’t quite work for me. While A Cure for a Curse is a charming fantasy romance filled with magic, drama, and the ever-addictive grumpy x sunshine dynamic, that completely hooked me at first, I found myself losing interest after the halfway point. I started skimming around 60%–75% and ultimately decided to DNF.

I'm a little disappointed. I liked the magic system, the character dynamics, and even the smut, but the story started to lose me after 50%. Maybe it was just my reading slump, or maybe it didn’t quite match my vibe. 🤷🏼‍♀️
