Before “diving” into all the adventures off the Amalfi coast in this book, I must say, I am quite impatiently waiting on the cover reveal! I’m picturing several shades of blue with gold accents for the color theme!

Brilliant coast of Amalfi carries a deadly curse. Events, two centuries apart, bring two women, one to protect it, another - to claim its treasures. Mari is a water which and Haven is a nautical archeologist who comes across an old diary revealing Mari's story.

This novel is completely mesmerizing! It took me right back to my early reading years pouring over The Treasure Island and Jules Verne's novels. The author weaves her story in such masterful way! The dual timeline takes you back and fourth between modern days and 1800s. I really enjoyed learning about the fascinating world of nautical archeology. The book is an amazing mix of contemporary adventure, romance and witchy magic. I could not put it down!

This novel has a little bit for every taste: jewels and shipwrecks, forbidden love and family legacy, page-turning suspense and historical fiction, travel and mysticism. No matter what genre pulls you in, I hope you enjoy this read as much as I did!

The mystery, loosely laced with magical realism, unfolds in both timelines as a curse is set in one and discovered in the other. The writing is incredible and keeps you riveted from one chapter to the next. The setting of Positano becomes another character in the novel as the author visually takes us on an epic journey in southern Italy.

This absolute page turner weaves intrigue, romance, magic and adventure in a story that will force you to keep reading to see where the twists will take you next!

Sarah Penner does it again with The Amalfi Curse, I have really enjoyed every single book that I have read by this author. The moment I opened this book, I was captivated—the mystery wrapped around me like a spell, and I couldn’t let go. With its blend of intrigue, romance, and supernatural twists, this novel transports you to the picturesque Italian coast, where every shadow hides a secret.

The characters are richly drawn, each with their own dark pasts and compelling motives, making every twist unpredictable. The story is full of unexpected turns that kept me guessing until the last page.

The Amalfi Curse is a page-turner that’s equal parts chilling and enchanting. If you're looking for a book that weaves mystery, romance, and a touch of magic, this is the one for you.

This is Sarah Penner's third novel and I have to say it's my favorite. There were things I liked in each of her previous books, but this one resonated with me so much more. I highly enjoyed the stories told through both timelines and POV's. I was so invested in learning about stregheria and of Mari's fate, and just as eager to follow Haven in her discovery of the Amalfi Curse and its origins.

Historical fiction is fast becoming one of my go to genres. It's authors like Sarah who are able to mix history, adventure and a sprinkle of love that make historical fiction and the stories come to life.

Sarah Penner uses love, sunken treasure, heartbreak, and magic to seamlessly weave together past and present in two compelling and emotional stories. I loved the dual timelines in this and was deeply invested in both. Readers will love the strength and resilience of Mari and Haven and get deeply connected to these characters. This was a beautiful story, and perfect for anyone who likes to read stories of powerful women.

Thank you to HTP Books and NetGalley for early access to a copy of this book :)

Sarah Penner has done it again.

This was such a fantastic blend of fun adventure and edge-of-your-seat tension. The Amalfi Curse presents an immersive dual-timeline journey along the Italian coast, weaving together a modern-day nautical archaeologist's quest with the secret workings of a band of streghe using their ancient magic to protect their home from the greedy Mazza brothers.

Mystery, history, and magic. Classically beautiful writing, devastatingly compelling characters, and seamlessly intertwined timelines. This book is a treasure!

Sunken treasure, witchcraft, and love? YES PLEASE!
The search for lost treasure by a nautical archeologist uncovers a centuries old curse. While trying to find the treasure, Haven is also trying to figure out the curse.
I was hooked from page one!

Thank you so much Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the e-arc of this amazing book!

This was such an incredibly immersive and enthralling story. The writing is so beautiful and I had a hard time putting it down. 100% this is my new favorite book of Sarah Penner. The POVs and different timelines tied together so wonderfully. The research and time put in to make this story what it is, is clearly seen throughout the pages. This has it all: witches of the sea, love stories, mystery, and treasure hunting. I love a book about strong women and this is exactly that. Whether you're a fan of mystery, romance, and historical fiction; I think this is a book that stretches across multiple genres and so many readers will fall in love with it.

This was a great atmospheric story. Both of the timelines were wonderful, and all the characters felt fully realized.

The Amalfi Curse
Pure genius! Penner has outdone herself with her third novel. She takes magical realism to a whole to depth, leagues under the sea. Sarah’s words are a breathtaking treasure that will captivate the imagination of readers and pull their heartstrings.
