A Curse So Dark & Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer | BOOK REVIEW

TITLE: A Curse So Dark And Lonely NAME OF SERIES : Cursebreaker Series AUTHOR: Brigid Kemmerer GENRE: Young Adult Fantasy, Fairy Tale Retelling PAGE COUNT: 477 PUBLICATION YEAR: 2019 FORMAT: Paperback BUY ONLINE: amazon                                                             Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer is one of the very few Contemporary novels that I enjoyed.

I kept highlighting the parts that reminded me of HP and I found something similar in almost every chapter. I know it sounds like a rip off of HP but trust me its much much more. To call it   “ just another version of HP ” is a huge disservice to the author who has written this wonderful piece of fiction. SYNOPSIS-  The first book Nevermoor followed a girl named Morrigan Crow who is believed to have been cursed . But on her eleventh bi
