Cursed in Love by Emily Colin
3.5
I went into this book expecting a cute fantasy witchy romcom and while it was part of that, it also got quite dark.
This is the story of Rune and Donovan and they are a forbidden couple who are destined to be together and at the same time, he will die if they are.
A lot goes on in this book, featuring a cute small town with some great characters, lots of magic, a workplace romance, and a cat named Valentine.
There are dark topics discussed in this book and the end of this book with the final meetup between the witches does end in quite a bit of bloodshed.
All that being said, I found the romance lacking in this book. Yes, Rune and Donovan are destined but it was more told than shown. Yes, they have great chemistry together but it was very much instalove and I didn't love that so much.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a review copy.
Spice Rating: 2 Chili Peppers - few brief steamy scenes, 1-2 explicit
