Title: A Curse of Gold

Author: Annie Sullivan

Release Date: September 22nd, 2020

Publisher: Blink

Synopsis:

Curses and queens. Pirates and kings. Gods and magic. The final saga of a cursed queen, a vengeful Greek god, and a dazzling kingdom in the balance.

After barely surviving thieving, bloodthirsty pirates and a harrowing quest at sea to retrieve her stolen treasure, Kora finds readjusting to palace life just as deadly. Kora’s people openly turn against her, threatening to overthrow her as heir to the throne—a cursed queen who has angered Dionysus. When Dionysus puts out a challenge to kill the girl with the golden touch and burn down her kingdom, it’s not just her future on the throne in danger. Kora’s life and entire kingdom are now on contract.

As bold and brave as ever, Kora sets out to find Dionysus, the very person who is trying to kill her, on the mysterious disappearing island of Jipper. Kora has no other choice. If she wants to save her kingdom and have any chance at reversing her father’s curse, she will have to enter into a deadly game with Dionysus, the greatest trickster the world, or the underworld, has ever seen.

My Review:

A Curse of Gold is book 2 in the ‘Touch of Gold’ series and I would recommend reading the first book so you can understand the story. This book picks up where it left off, Kora taking care of her father as he is battling a curse. Things get even more intriguing when Dionysus attacks. It’s an adventurous and action packed YA read that you will easily be able to finish in one sitting.

I really enjoyed the Greek mythology theme. I think this left the author room to create great world building.

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I give A Curse of Gold 4 stars. I think the Greek mythology shined during this story. It added intrigue and adventure. Readers will enjoy the fast-paced action scenes. I applaud Annie for creating such a strong heroine.
