If you’re a fan of fairy tale retellings, especially Beauty and the Beast with a dark twist, this book is for you! 🖤 Autumn Kaufer masterfully blends the essence of the original story with her own unique elements—especially a vampire beast! 🧛‍♂️

Mina and Dracke make such a sweet pair. Their emotional journey had me hooked, and Dracke’s heartfelt letter? It left me in tears! 😭 The intimate scenes were beautifully written and added depth to their relationship.

I’ll admit, it took me a little while to warm up to Mina, but by the end, I adored her. That being said, Dracke and Celine totally stole the show for me. 😍

The ending was absolutely satisfying, making this retelling a delightful read for fantasy and romance lovers alike. If you’re looking for a unique twist on a beloved classic, Kingdom of Forgotten Curses will not disappoint!

Final Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5 rounded up to 4)
