Cursed Ever After - by Andy C Naranjo (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Cursed Ever After is a dazzling romantic fantasy debut brimming with snark, humor, and banter-filled romance perfect for fans of The Princess Bride and Once Upon a Broken Heart.

Love is not for cursed girls. Risa is better off without it.

Risa Porto is a Bad Thing who was born on a Bad Day and is cursed with Bad Luck. After years of taking the blame for every calamity, mishap, and minor inconvenience that befalls the townspeople of Barrow, Risa longs for an escape. And on her seventeenth birthday, her wish is granted.

Sort of.

Risa owes a (very annoying) witch a favor, and it comes in the form of a quest: She must escort Prince Javi--the youngest, handsomest, and least significant of the kingdom's princes--through the dark (and deadly) Bosque to his wedding. This measly errand quickly spirals into a struggle with greedy assassins, a murderous cult, a vicious tyrant, and Risa's own curse.

Most unfortunate of all . . .

Risa is not immune to Javi's charms, and the more time she spends with the prince, the more she feels the highly irritating urge to kiss him. Flirtations aside, as Risa and Javi continue their trek, they find themselves working with a mysterious figure, who has a secret all her own. If Risa is to uphold her bargain with the witch, she'll need a lot more than luck to untangle the web of lies threatening the kingdom. Is Risa willing to pay the price of happily ever after? What if the only person she's meant to save is herself?

Don't miss this action-packed, Latinx subverted fairytale!
