“Dreadful” by Greer Rivers is the third book in the Tattered Curtain series. It is a dark, romantic retelling combining elements of Sweeney Todd, Hamlet, and Medusa, set in modern-day Boston. This standalone novel follows a story of revenge and love with guaranteed happy-ever-after but includes heavy themes and triggers.
The protagonist, known as the barber’s son and the Boss’ nephew, is driven by a desire for vengeance following a significant sacrifice made by a girl fifteen years prior. His path crosses with Talia, the granddaughter of bakers, who introduces complexities and desires beyond his quest for revenge. The narrative delves into their intense and tumultuous relationship, characterized by a mix of sweetness and venom, as they navigate their intertwined fates (Valentine PR) (Amy S. Brown).
The book stands out for its dark and emotional depth, merging past and present narratives to build a compelling story. While it maintains the classic essence of the retellings it draws from, it also infuses unique twists and character developments that make it a gripping read for fans of dark romantic suspense (RisingShadow) (Amy S. Brown).
