To Kill a Curse by Jennifer Jenkins

4.0

I have been a fan of Jennifer’s since the moment I was blessed with an early e-copy of Nameless way back in 2015 (oh my…has it really been that long?!). I have now read Nameless three times, Clanless twice, and Fearless once, and I am a forever fan. I don’t think I even looked at the book summary when the notice for this blog tour came across my email – I merely saw the name Jennifer Jenkins and I jumped!

So, unlike Jennifer’s previous books, To Kill a Curse is actually an adult book, not YA. However, it’s not *adult* adult; it’s a clean fantasy romance that is a sweet, slow burn. I really enjoyed the concept of Fina’s curse and her quest to kill it, and I loved both Fina and Antonio. The way Jennifer told the story was third person but mostly from Fina’s POV, so she interspersed short journal entries from Antonio between some of the chapters. I felt this was key to getting to know what was really going on in Antonio’s head, because he’s definitely a mysterious character. Learning about him in these little dribbles of information is a great experience for the reader, because he’s extremely tight-lipped otherwise! Fina is such a sympathetic character and my heart really went out to her the whole time.

Overall, I really enjoyed this fantasy adventure romance. The characters are great, the adventure is grand (there’s pirates!), and the romance is sweet. I love Jennifer’s writing, and I look forward to more adventures on the Lingering Sea!
