This was an amazing read. Sad thing about it that I could not put it down once I started reading. I love this version of the beast being a vampire, setting a whole new environment to the setting. I thought it was a bit quick at first, but BOOM, did it hit hard once I got settled into the story. It's a great collection for you Beauty and the Beast lovers out there!

Great combination
This was a wonderful experience. The creativity combing Dracula and Beauty and her Beast together to create a new world with other elements added in was beautifully done. Dracke had to work a little earn his way into my heart, but once he was there, no turning back.

Kingdom of Forgotten Curses by Autumn Kaufer. Imagine if Dracula was the Beast in Beauty’s story. What if Beauty was more than just human? Perhaps the faery made a mistake and regrets cursing the Beast. Maybe love needs to die, souls need to be crushed before legends can be reborn.

We follow Bellamina “Mina” Renfield, a former governess with a heart of gold and a soul full of grief. Life hasn’t been kind to her, and the fates will ensure her future is no less painful. Between losing the child she swore to protect against an uncurable illness and the betrayal of one of her friends, Mina lost all hope.
When her Dad doesn't come home on time, she knows something is wrong, even if her sisters berate her for being dramatic, she goes out to look for him. Does she find her Dad? She does, but she also finds a lifeline she wasn’t expecting. She finds a part of her that was unknown and a secret story to her true self.
Dracke has been corrupted by the curse, his heart cold and unmoving like the mountains. It wasn’t his cross to carry, but after so long, the heaviness of living in this eternal hell is too much. After incarcerating a thief for stealing a rose, he was ready to let him die not to exchange him for a woman with more courage than common sense.
Can he resist the hope that blooms when he is next to her? Does he truly have what it takes to break the bonds that bind his soul and let the monster run free? Or will he seclude himself and accept that monsters don't get a happy ending?
The book reads beautifully, imagine reading a movie script with more emotions. When the author said her inspiration was Beauty and the Beast by Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve meets Dracula by Bram Stocker, she wasn’t kidding. The references to both books and also to the story of Vlad Tepes aka Vlad Dracul III, were spot on. From the names to the more formal English vocabulary, to the subtle words in other languages.
You can sense the unworthiness that both main characters feel. It grows from a fairy tale to a devastating realization that hearts don’t heal how they would want them to heal. Getting to that place where they are both willing to give everything but also put their foot down and grow as individuals, was hard won. Personally, it reminded of the movies Beauty and The Beast (French/2014) and Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula.

DRACULA meets BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in this magical retelling by Autumn Kaufer. Fast-paced and full of banter, this book draws you right in and keeps you turning the pages.
The story was really enjoyable, though heavy on dialogue—which I loved, but someone else might not. Both protagonists are dealing with a heavy load of trauma and pain, but they slowly work through it together.
I liked the fae twist toward the end and found myself in love with the fae and their lore, though I feel like too much information was explained in too few pages; I was yearning to learn more about them.
What I didn't enjoy as much was the constant back-and-forth between the main couple. I understand that they were dealing with a lot in their minds, and Mina struggled with her own grief and trauma, but she kept being cruel to Dracke, even though he kept reminding her that he was there for her and that he wanted to help her.
Overall, it was a great book that I highly recommend to all romantasy lovers, especially BEAUTY AND THE BEAST fans.
P.S. I'll never see strawberries the same way again! ><
