I love each of A.R. Kaufer’s book even more than the last and KINGDOM OF FORGOTTEN CURSES, a Beauty and the Beast retelling, with a vampire twist, hit all the perfect notes for my fairy tale and paranormal romance loving heart! 💕💕

Fans of the classic fairy tale will love how gothic and true to form this stays. Prince Dracke is cursed and turned into a vampire and must get someone to fall in love with him to break his curse. Bells or “Mira” is the daughter of the king’s barrister who comes to visit his estate decades later. I loved all their scenes together, from helping in the library, to the scenes with Celine the housekeeper, to the side plot with Gustave, and the scenes with her sisters. So well written! Kaufer’s books always have twists I don’t see coming and this was no exception! (I found some of the surprises neat.) I liked the resolutions at the end. Recommended for Beauty and the Beast and Dracula fans! 5/5 stars.
