By the time I reached the end of the excerpt of Garden of the Cursed, I was hooked! I immediately liked Marlow and how determined she is to find answers. The concept of curses and cursebreakers was fascinating and I'm curious to see how that'll tie into the larger plot. Marlow's interaction with Adrius seemed to promise an intriguing romance, and I'm delighted to see the book description mention fake dating! Although the cover isn't a style that I usually love, I do feel like it exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue that is fitting for the book.
