About this listen

“Sarah Penner transported me to the sea-swept cliffs of Positano and introduced me to characters I’ll never forget. A magical read!”—Emilia Hart, New York Times bestselling author of Weyward

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

✨My Review:
I really wanted to love this one more but for whatever reason, I couldn’t connect or relate to the characters. What I loved is the setting being over in Italy and the story about being about a nautical archaeologist who is exploring sunken boats that have shipwrecked off the Positano Amalfi Coast. This story goes back and forth between present day with Haven and back in time to the 1800’s. I would still recommend this to anyone who has it on their TBR list. It’s worth a read.

A Solid Read

I devoured this once it was released. I fell in the with The Lost Apothecary & The Amalfi Curse was just as encapsulating. Is there another book coming from another characters POV!?

The story overall isn’t bad, it’s an easy read.
The book starts off great, but about half way through some of the storylines start to drag, or fall apart. The modern day love story felt awkward as the author tried to connect it to the past. The mystery and excitement of it just slowly faded away, and I stopped caring about the characters.

Could have been great
