Isobel Sterling is a governess with many secrets--including an uncanny ability she's been hiding her whole life, until the day arrives when she has to use it to save herself from a madman. But first she has to master it. Fast.
Governess Isobel Sterling feels fortunate to have found a safe haven in the Montgomery household. The children are kind and the lord and lady of the house leave her alone. Just when her life seems as good as it can get, mysterious visitors arrive from abroad.
At first Isobel is flattered by the single-minded attention she receives from their handsome young guest, Matteo Garibaldi. But when girls in the village go missing, Isobel has a terrible suspicion the disappearances are linked to the darkness she can see growing behind Matteo's eyes. Filled with dread, she tries to avoid his company--until she is locked in with him for the night.
Cursed is a dark and steamy gothic romance. Not suitable for readers under 18.

My Review:
It has so many different aspects that blend together to make a greater whole: Gothic mystery fantasy horror regency romance. What starts quite simply as an historical horror story quickly becomes something else altogether. I loved how brilliantly all of the parts blended together. I was fascinated with the chemistry between Isobel and Matteo - for so much of the book you're never quite sure if the connection is good or bad for them. I have to give credit to any book that successfully keeps distracted and prevents me from guessing the true culprit until the very end. I didn't see that one coming. I received a complementary copy of this book.
