Cursed Ever After

June 30

Book cover of Cursed Ever After. The title is in gold on a black background with stars and a crescent moon. There is a bell tower at the bottom with a dagger to the left and wings with a gold star pendant. On the right is a gray cat and up above is a red rose with a golden bird flying above it. There are green leaves winding around the title and all of the items. Cursed Ever After by Andy C. Naranjo
Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)

Love is not for cursed girls. Risa is better off without it.

Risa Porto is a Bad Thing who was born on a Bad Day and is cursed with Bad Luck. After years of taking the blame for every calamity, mishap, and minor inconvenience that befalls the townspeople of Barrow, Risa longs to escape her village. And on her seventeenth birthday, her wish is granted.

Sort of.

Risa owes a (very annoying) witch a favor, and it comes in the form of a quest: She must escort Prince Javi―the youngest, handsomest, and least significant of the kingdom’s princes―through the dark (and deadly) Bosque to his wedding. This measly errand quickly spirals into a struggle with greedy assassins, a murderous cult, a vicious tyrant, and Risa’s own curse.

Most unfortunate of all . . .

Risa is not immune to Javi’s charms. The more time she spends with the prince, the stronger―and more irritating―her urge to kiss him becomes.
