Can't
Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Wishful Endings. Basically books that are not yet out that we
are dying to get our hands on. This
week’s pick is:
A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid
Kemmerer
Out: 1/29/19
From
Goodreads:
Fall
in love, break the curse.
It
once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat
the autumn of his eighteenth year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a
girl fell for him. But that was before
he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a vicious beast
hell-bent on destruction. That was
before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.
Nothing
has ever been easy for Harper Lacy. With
her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother barely holding their
family together while constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral
palsy, she learned to be tough enough to survive. But when she tries to save someone else on
the streets of Washington, DC, she’s instead somehow sucked into Rhen’s cursed
world.
Break
the curs, save the kingdom.
A
prince? A monster? A curse?
Harper doesn’t know where she is or what to believe. But as she spends time with Rhen in this
enchanted land, she begins to understand what’s at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just
another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against
Emberfall…and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and
his people from utter ruin.
Why I’m
Waiting:
I saw this on another CWW recently and just
knew I wanted to read it. I didn’t even
realize it was a Beauty and the Beast retelling until later but the idea is
fascinating. I love books where someone
is taken from one world and put in another it just makes me wish I could do
that :)
What
are you waiting on? Tell me below what
you think of this title and leave a link to your CWW as well so I can check it
out.
I am excited for this one as well.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds so good! I picked it up at BookExpo this year and this has reminded me that I should read it.

Brigid is one of my insta-buy authors so I'll definitely be purchasing this one. I've loved all her books so far so I'm sure it'll be equally amazing!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the cover of this one!
