If you are looking for the next great young adult fantasy series look no further than Katy Rose Pool’s Garden of the Cursed series. From the moment the adventure began, with all the action I couldn’t put it down, stop the pages from turning. Honestly, when you get the book make sure you have all the time you will need until you get to the end, if not, you’ll be missing out on whatever you had planned, staying to finish Garden of the Cursed instead.

Marlow Briggs has been on her own for sometime now, after her mother disappeared without a word or a trace. While there were things that Marlow didn’t know about the woman, by the end of the first book in the series, much will be revealed to the young “curse breaker”- what she has begun to be known as after she solves several mysteries surrounding individuals who have been afflicted by another (through the use of a curse, whatever that may be).

Sadly this story is also one of the loss of innocence surrounding what the young (Marlow) thinks about the world and the individuals in it- and what the true reality of the nature of most individuals are. That, in the end, the very best of them have somehow been tarnished by the world and what is in it so that they are no longer the good person they present to the world, that people think them to be. And maybe they were never a good person at all, that since they have somehow succumbed to the nefarious things they now do, they never meant to be part of the good of the world. However most of the youth in their innocence do not ever know this until it is time to see the reality of their world, the world around them. And in Garden of the Cursed, this is when Marlow finds her own innocence die, by the end, at war with whether she will succumb to the loss of her own goodness or stand against the dark and continue to fight, keep the good that is in Marlow.

I assure readers that they will love Katy Rose Pool’s Garden of the Cursed as I do and immediately be a fan. I can only hope that the second of the series comes out quickly as I can’t wait to see what Marlow will do with the information that she has learned. Will she save the man she loves from the curse that, if it is not broken in the next few weeks, will stay forever or will she be bound to the new family she has found, even though they may not have her best interests at heart? However, by the end of the book the love she has for the boy of her youth, Adrius (the cursed) when questioned, that she has found someone who offers her safety and security in her world with really, none, what will Marlow choose?

Garden of the Cursed is a rollercoaster of emotions and adventure for the characters, the readers and, I am sure, for the author to conjure this magical tale for all, not just the young (but it is a young adult book). There has never been a more inventive author when it comes to the world of magic and youth than Katy Rose Pool who brings you into a world that you will happily get lost in!

Happy Reading!
