Curse of the Forbidden Island by C.A. King – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
Curse of Forbidden Island by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Curse of the Forbidden Island is a paranormal romance. I’ve enjoyed many books by this author, particularly The Portal Prophecies! This is a bite-sized story with plenty packed into a short space.
I particularly enjoyed the setting! Reading this book on a bus in February, it was great to imagine a job where I could go and lie on a warm, sandy beach as soon as I’d finished for the day. We got plenty of background and development with Selene who never quite fits in or knows how to behave. Her curiosity brings readers into the story and helps us to wonder about the mysteries surrounding the island.
Although it’s a short book, I felt like it was satisfyingly complete. There’s plenty to fuel the imagination about what might happen after the story ends, but the story is well paced and the ending doesn’t feel rushed.
This book gets four stars from me! I’d recommend it to adult readers who are fans of this author, and any paranormal romance fans who want to replace gloomy castles with a tropical island!
