After a client’s untimely death, medium Adrianna Sinclair flees New York to her family property in Italy. No more ghosts for her.
Until…. Luca Fausto cursed and trapped as a spirit because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s been a century since he was able to leave the Romani property Adrianne now inhabits.
Adrianne may be the answer he seeks to ending the curse, but will his demonic brother stand in the way?
The author has a flare for taking you into the scenes where you see, taste and smell everything from the wonderfully described food to the icky dank underground. The characters whisk you into their world and their drama where you are rooting for them from beginning to end. Also you’ll hate the demonic creature hiding in the shadows trying to destroy any hope of happiness Luca and Adrianna have.
Can she help Luca? Will the demonic spirit’s plan for revenge intervene? You’ll have to read the book to discover the answers. I will tell you I enjoyed reading this entertaining book and highly recommend it. One other exciting aspect is this book will be made into a streaming movie mid 2020. We will get to see casting and the actual making of the movie. It will be interesting to see how the human/spirits are portrayed and how the ghostly underground parties are created. Will it come close to what each reader sees in their imagination as the read this book. We’ll have to wait and see. I’m looking forward to watching the movie.

Adrianna Sinclair is a medium but after the scandal and death of one of her clients, she escapes New York for the ancestral property in Italy. She wants to hang up her psychic shingle and just be left alone. But two spirits won’t let her. One’s a demonic spirit who wants her gone while the other intrigues her. Luca is a gentleman in every sense of the word and when he takes her to one of his brother’s otherworldly parties, Luca shifts from an apparition to someone she can wrap her arms around. The more she’s around Luca, the more she falls for him. Can you truly fall for a ghost? In Adrianna’s case, it may be the key to solving Luca’s curse. But when she finds out the truth, will she abandon him or will she save his life?
The Shadowheart Curse is a familiar concept in paranormal romance but Karilyn Bentley puts a new twist on it. Filled with paranormal, mysterious and romantic elements, it captured my heart from the very first page. The descriptive narration swept me away to Italy and as I read, I experienced everything Adrianna saw, smelled and tasted. The supernatural elements were spot-on and very realistic. The danger the couple found themselves in ratcheted up my pulse and the ending was a complete surprise. It reads like a movie, which is great because it is turning into one (go to the author’s website for more details on that). Highly entertaining paranormal romance and one I can’t recommend enough!
My Rating: 5 stars
When Adrianna runs away to her family’s ancestral home in the Italian countryside, she wants to leave her work as a medium behind her in New York. What she doesn’t expect is to find a smoking hot Italian spirit named Luca who needs her help.
I really enjoyed this book very much. Karilyn Bentley created a vivid world and well-rounded characters. The story is mysterious, suspenseful, wonderfully romantic, and I didn’t want it to end.
