The Amalfi Curse

Summary: Powerful witchcraft. A hunt for sunken treasure. Forbidden love on the high seas. Beware the Amalfi Curse…

Haven Ambrose, a trailblazing nautical archaeologist, has come to the sun-soaked village of Positano to investigate the mysterious shipwrecks along the Amalfi Coast. But Haven is hoping to find more than old artifacts beneath the azure waters; she is secretly on a quest to locate a trove of priceless gemstones her late father spotted on his final dive. Upon Haven’s arrival, strange maelstroms and misfortunes start plaguing the town. Is it nature or something more sinister at work?

As Haven searches for her father’s sunken treasure, she begins to unearth a centuries-old tale of ancient sorcery and one woman’s quest to save her lover and her village by using the legendary art of stregheria, a magical ability to harness the ocean. Could this magic be behind Positano’s latest calamities? Haven must unravel the Amalfi Curse before the region is destroyed forever…

Against the dazzling backdrop of the Amalfi Coast, this bewitching novel shimmers with mystery, romance and the untamed magic of the sea.

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

Having read The London Seance Society and The Lost Apothecary, when I saw The Amalfi Curse, I knew I was going to read it. I, unfortunately, was denied a copy via Netgalley, but my library had it on CloudLibrary and I was #1 in line.

Sarah Penner has a way with words and scenes and I absolutely loved the story she spun with The Amalfi Curse.

What I liked:

The cover. SO gorgeous.

Haven. She was a great character- bright, intelligent, strong.

Mari. Another great character!

Bottom line: The 2 storylines twisted and turned and combined in a way that kept me entertained. I read this book in less than 3 days.
