Castle of the Cursed is such a beautifully written YA fantasy gothic romance. The world-building is outstanding. The story is well written with an enchanting storyline and well-developed characters that engage from start to finish. The world is atmospheric and feels real with vivid descriptions and rich imagery. I cannot get enough. Highly recommended.

A special thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the ARC of this book!

I devoured this gothic romance like la Sombra devours blood. Make sure to check content warnings as there are talks of survivor's guilt and suicide. After a tragic event Estela travels to live with her estranged aunt in their ancestral Spanish castle, la Sombra. That's when the real mysterious stuff starts to happen. Now she must find out why her parents left Spain, what the shadow creature is and is it going to kill her, what is up with this castle, and most of all what happened to her when she was little? Great for fans of House of Roots and Ruin. The final page was a doozy and I'm going to need to talk to Romina immediately.

Thank you to Netgalley and Wednesday Books for giving me the chance to read an ARC of this book! I had such a fun time reading this book. It was such a fast-paced, adventurous, mysterious journey and it kept. my full attention from the second I started it. Every single time I thought I knew what was going to happen next I was proven wrong. A very great read!

Gothic Romance say no more. I was enthralled from the beginning and every chapter kept making me want more. The world building was exceptional and it felt like I was walking side by side with the FMC.

This novel follows Estela who discovers a whole new world when tragedy hits. A world of self discovery, found family and new friendships. All while living and navigating through a cursed house. This story was truly magical and such an enchanting book.

Thank you NetGalley, St. Martins Press/Wednesday books for providing me with an eARC.

This book was an insta-request for me the second I read the blurb. Gothic castles, supernatural elements, and romance? YES PLEASE. The romance drives more of the plot than I was expecting going in, but honestly, I think that only made me enjoy the story more. By the end, I was dying to uncover the mysteries with Estela. Overall, a wholly enjoyable read for me!

Thank you to the publisher and to Netgalley for granting me an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was an excellent read! This gothic horror romance reminds me a lot of what I imagine a Fourthwing/Dracula mashup might be like. I loved that the novel is set in a castle in Spain, and I definitely feel as though I got more out of the text with my basic Spanish-speaking skills. The plot and writing really draw the reader in - There was a bit of a pacing issue about 60% of the way in, but push through! The end is so worth it.
