The Curse of Ophelia (The Curse of Ophelia, #1)
Nicole Platania
The war is over. The curse is lifted. Malakai is gone. It’s been two years since Ophelia has seen the boy she loves. When a treaty was signed ending the war and lifting the curse on Mystique Warriors, Malakai left to attempt the sacred ritual known as the Undertaking. He never returned, and the Undertaking was forbidden. Ophelia’s world crumbled around her. Since then, she has pursued a fruitless search for answers. When the deadly curse resurfaces only on her, Ophelia finds solace in the idea that when she dies, she may finally be reunited with her lost love. Then, a messenger appears, telling her that she alone may be the one to save her people. With her closest friends by her side, Ophelia embarks on a race against death—one that will not only challenge her physically, but make her question the Mystique leaders, the Angels, and her belief in love. Can she win the fight against fate before the curse takes her life, or will the betrayals exposed along the way kill her first? With influence from Greek Mythology, this debut is the first in a New Adult Fantasy Romance series full of heart-wrenching love, shattering betrayals, and fighting for what you believe in. Fans of Throne of Glass, From Blood and Ash, and The Bridge Kingdom will love it.

I wanna say The Curse of Ophelia is more than a fantasy romance and a fun book. Don't get me wrong I LOVE and enjoy the romance but the story hit a deep place in my heart and I connect with Ophelia in a way I was not aware of until the end. I love when author are able to do this, to transport you into the characters mind and made you feel everything they do. So yes I cried and laugh and was so freaking angry at the end of it but at the same time happy.
My favorite part was the found family trope. The way all of them love each other made me crave that feeling so freaking hard. I believe the author did an amazing job creating Ophelia's arc where she feels real and that's something I love in fantasy. This is why I love The Curse of Ophelia so much: you can REALLY relate to the characters. And this simple because even when we are in a fantasy world the characters are complex: they feel their feelings and they go and make mistakes which ugh I can't explain how much I love that.
NOW THE LORE!? Sign me in for a good angel plot kinda evil thing going on!! I was shocked but I was here for it! I think this days is so hard to find unique plots and the author did an amazing job playing with it.
