Summary

Belle comes from a family of adventurous individuals, including one sister who is a duchess and daredevil and another sister who is a war correspondent. Belle, however, is content to live in her little cottage in the country translating books in the many magical languages she knows. Then with no warning she is chosen to become the family’s new curse breaker. 

This mystery takes place in a most magical land. Her new home in the city is filled with dangerous cursed objects, as well as furniture that talks to her and feeds her. Plus her new neighbor’s home is a large library and the librarian seems to be a well dressed lion. 

My Thoughts

Engrossing and beautifully paced!

I haven’t been this excited about an imaginary world in ages. I’m very, very much hoping she turns this into a new series. Fingers crossed.

So much fun!

However, I think it can only be found by signing up for Tansy Rayner Roberts’ newsletter here so I would encourage you to do so! Tansy’s website
