About this listen

 An epic romantic fantasy from the hugely popular author of The Female series in which a young woman must sneak into the faerie realm to recover a priceless plant, only to find herself in the middle of a war.

Abby has come up with a brilliant plan. Sneak into the faerie realm, travel to the shifter forest, and collect all the delysum she can get her hands on, and return home before anybody discovers who she is. Simple. At least that’s what she tells herself.

The only problem is she’s never actually been to the faerie realm, and once she gets there, it turns out the few stories she’s been told about it have been wildly deceiving. The plant she’s meant to collect is being cultivated into a weapon, and the faeries are on the cusp of war with the shifters.

Suddenly Abby finds herself caught in the middle of a deadly war between the fae and the shifters, with only her wits to keep her enemies at bay. Captured in the forest by the faerie and shifter princes, Abby must find a way to escape and return home before they figure out who she really is. And realize that there’s nothing more dangerous than a spy...

This fae romantic fantasy is perfect for fans of Jeneane O’Riley’s Infatuated Fae series and Penn Cole’s Spark of the Everflame! Fantasy Paranormal Fiction War Shifter

The world building in The Cursed Kingdom totally hooked me. It felt fresh and different, with a dark edge that kept me turning the pages. The premise alone grabbed my attention and the author did a great job creating a setting that felt alive and full of danger.

Abbey, our FMC, could definitely be a struggle at times. She is clumsy, impulsive, and does not always think things through. Even so, her loyalty to her friend really made me warm to her. The two princes though… wow. They treated her brutally and I kept hoping they would redeem themselves. Fingers crossed that happens in book two. I was also a bit disappointed that the fated mate twist didn’t go the way I expected, although that does leave interesting room for what comes next.

There is a dip in the pacing in the middle where things slow down longer than needed, but overall I stayed invested. The ending does not hit like a huge cliffhanger, yet it definitely surprised me. I will absolutely be picking up the next book. Despite a few slightly slow moments, this story kept me intrigued from start to finish, so it is still a five star read from me!
