Hello Readers,
Thank you, Stephen, Jamie, Black Crow PR for sending me
an eBook copy of Cursed Under London by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch for free in
exchange for an honest review.
Today is my stop on the publication tour for Cursed
Under London. The eBook I received didn't have a front cover, so I am using a
cover image I have used during the cover reveal (Fair use under the copyright
act sections 29 and 30 under use for a review).
Title: Cursed Under London
Author: Gabby Hutchinson Crouch
Genre: Fantasy romcom
Pages: 285 (Kindle)

Synopsis: In an alternative Elizabethan London, Fang
awakes from his death to discover he is not quite human anymore. In fact,
despite having somehow acquired the power of immortality, he’s also not quite
vampire, zombie, werewolf or any of the other supernatural beings who roam the
twin cities of Upper London and its underground counterpart, Deep London.
A jaded traveller from the Ming Empire, Fang is desperate to find a way to reverse the spell and get on with being dead when he stumbles upon Lazare de Quitte-Beuf, a theatrical Frenchman who is afflicted with the same mysterious condition. Thrown together by the curse they share, the two men set out to undo the strange magic that binds them. As they are drawn further into the shadowy world of Deep London, they find themselves at the centre of a dangerous plot. And when in grave danger, surely the worst thing they could do would be to fall in love, wouldn’t it?
I loved this book and this review it was hard to write
and keep spoiler free. What I would like to type out and leave is “omg I loved this
book you need to read it now it’s funny and cute” but let’s dive a little
deeper and stay spoiler free.
I fell in love with the concept of this book and loved
that it was quick read. This book is full of wit and filled with a chaotic cast
of characters you can’t help but love. The
characters were likeable, and I thought the worldbuilding was fantastic.
This is one book world I wish I could jump into I would love
to jump into an alternative Elizabethan London that is split in two halves above
ground where the humans are and below ground, where supernatural creatures live.
Although in the above ground London supernatural creatures live amongst humans.
