I was only given the excerpt for the book but it heightened my excitement, can’t wait to read the whole thing.

A Vow so Bold and Deadly is book 3 in the Cursebreaker series. I received a excerpt of the book via NetGalley and OMG I seriously can’t wait for this book release. It left me wanting more. I didn’t realize it was just excerpt of the book when I first received it, but that’s ok. Lol it just made me even more excited to read this book. I absolutely loved the first two books, so I’m excited to see how it ends for our characters.

I got hooked on Kemmerer’s novels from my pals on the Currently Reading podcast, and man am I glad I did. This excerpt is everything I was hoping for and has totally left me on the hook for the full thing. I can’t wait to see what’s to come!

Like, yes, I still want to read the book. This doesn't change that, I just want more!! I'm definitely going to get sucked into this one when I have the whole thing in front of me. Can't wait to learn more about Lia Mara and her country.

After reading the free excerpt provided by NetGalley I am even more excited for the full book to be released! I have already preordered! If the rest of the third book is this good then it will have been worth the wait! Sometimes I really can't get into a book that is told from multiple POVs but Brigid Kemmerer really has this down. I can't wait for the full book!

Ob-sessed with this series! And only more so after reading this latest sneak-peek excerpt. I don't think I'm capable of waiting until 2021 to read the rest.

It is very hard to review 75 pages out of a book that is going to be 400+ ...so I will say that the writing is just as splendid as the first two and I am very excited for the full book to come out!

With how the last book left off I was dreading how this one was going to begin. At only 75 pages it doesn't give very much. It picks up right from where the last book left off and gives us POVs from all our favorite characters. We've got Rhen, Harper, Lia Mara and Grey. I am very, very excited to see where we go from here. Quite a bit happens in the first 75 pages that seems rather intense...and it definitely leaves a knot in your stomach!

This review is based on excerpts from the first few chapters, so it will be very basic.

This book is written in the same style as the other two. I did appreciate that the author gave reference to the other books. Sometimes, after waiting the year + until the next book in a series, I forget some of the intricacies of the prior books...and I don't always have time to reread. This gave just enough to not be intrusive but enough to jog my memory.

My biggest fear for this book is use of four POVs. I feel like it might be unwieldy, we'll miss something, or it will shift/end abruptly. Unfortunately, this excerpt of bits of four of the chapters was not enough to give me an idea whether or not this is going to be a problem.

I enjoyed the other books in this series, so I plan on enjoying this one. I will be reading the full book when it's released.

I'm actually intrigued from the get go after reading this excerpt! We get more Lia Mara, and we get all the other characters. I want more Lia Mara story after reading her chapter, honestly. I also am interested to see about Harper too.

I hope the rest of the book is like the chapters I saw!

This was just an excerpt but it definitely sucked me in! I can give a full review once I can read the entire story!

I must admit, I still need to read the second book, so I’m a bit behind on the story. I will do my best to catch up before the excerpt disappears

I've only read the first chapter of each POV, but A Vow So Bold and Deadly already seems better than A Heart So Fierce and Broken. I really liked A Curse So Dark and Lonely, so I was really disappointed when A Heart So Fierce and Broken failed to impress me in the same way. I am very much team Rhen and Harper, so I'm really hoping their story has a satisfying conclusion in this book.

I received a preview of this book on NetGalley for review. As someone who has not read the previous books in this series, this excerpt has left me intrigued and wanting to read more. It is well-written, and I found myself curious about all the characters and wanting to know their backstories. I think I will have to start at the beginning and come back to this when the full novel is available. Thanks for the taste!

- I forgot how much I enjoy the short chapter setup of this series.
- Yay, subtly injected bits here and there that are triggering my memory of the previous books. It’s all coming back to me now.
- I love when an author can naturally ease us back into things without being stilted.
- Definitely looking forward to all of Vow.

I received an excerpt (about 30 pages) of this book from netgalley for an honest review. This is the 3rd book in the Cursebreakers series and I'm so excited for it! The beginning does a good job of working in a brief review of how the previous book ended. At the start, you can already sense the tension between characters and within themselves. There are so many ways this book could take the storyline and I can't wait to get the finished copy!

I absolutely cannot wait wait to read the full novel come January. This sampler definitely had me wanting to finish the series out strong which, considering I've already preorded two copies, shouldn't be that hard to do!

This teaser REALLY got me excited to read the third book in the Cursebreaker series! This is one of the BEST YA series there is centered around Beauty and the Beast. January can't get here soon enough!

This small portion of the Cursebreaker's trilogy has me SOOOO excited for the final installment. Already pre-ordered & can't wait to devour it in one sitting!

I'm so glad that NetGalley has these sampler chapters for A Vow So Bold and Deadly to read but at the same time now the wait till January feels SO much longer. I can't wait to read the rest of the book and see how the story ends. I loved the first two books and am excited to see how Brigid Kemmerer wraps things up. I'm hoping that Rhen can finally find peace (with Harper, of course!) and that Grey can finally relax and settle down.

Fantastic! This is going to be the best Cursebreaker book YET! Loved the first couple of chapters! Even though I love Rhen, he really upset me in the last book! So I think, judging from these first couple of chapters, we’re going to see some redemption. However, I’m not sure everyone else is on board with forgiving him! Brigid’s writing is extraordinary. She has a skill that is beyond belief when it comes to writing stories.

I haven't read the first two books in this series yet, but I thought I could still get a good feel for this story by this excerpt. I enjoyed the different POVs, but miscommunication is my least favorite trope, so I don't know if this one will be for me. I do love the cover, and the character description is really solid, so I may just have to go back to the beginning and give this series a chance.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bloomsbury YA for letting me read this excerpt!
