Thank you to NetGalley and Titan Books for the eARC! 

Dreadful is a hilarious misadventure of a Dark Wizard who’s forgotten pretty much everything about himself and why he’s missing his eyebrows. 

As Gav figures out who he was (apparently a Dread Lord in a castle full of goblins), he also has to come to terms with his past self’s extravagant decor choices, a princess locked in the cells, and evil colleagues that have an evil plan to execute. 

I laughed out loud many times while reading this chaotic tale. Gav really is in quite the predicament and it’s a lot of fun seeing how he tries to crawl out from the consequences of his past self’s actions. 

Highly recommend if you liked the Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves movie. It has that same comedic whimsy.
