Your dad getting kidnapped sucks, especially when he’s your only friend. Being shipped off to the mother who abandoned you as a toddler really, really sucks. But you know what sucks more than any of that for Dess Lafitte? 1) Finding out she’s cursed because of some great-great-great-grandmother’s murder spree, 2) being thrust into fixing said curse with the help of a nimble monster hunter and his cheek-reddeningly-pretty and brilliant sister, and 3) the bloodthirsty monsters hidden in plain sight hell-bent on stopping her. While rescuing her father from, well, whatever took him and unearthing her family’s monstrous history (on the advice of her grandmother’s ghost), Dess figures out how to navigate a peculiar new life. TURNS OUT I’M CURSED is a young adult novel by Aspen Mars for fans of Percy Jackson’s later years – if his fantastical and irreverent adventures got mixed up with The Haunting of Bly Manor’s heavy and occasionally grotesque atmosphere.
