Tempest Cursed

A Wuthering Heights Retelling

By: K.C. Lannon

Narrated by: Fran Burgoyne

On the island of Moon Tithe, where oceanic gods called Deep Dwellers once ruled, a lonely girl and a monstrous boy fell in love.

When spirited 10-year-old Pearl searches for magic and answers after her mother’s presumed drowning, she finds a strange boy named Hake, instead. Raised cruelly by a monster called the Old One, 11-year-old Hake possesses otherworldly powers and has the knowledge Pearl seeks. In exchange for a home, Hake agrees to show her magic. But Hake knows nothing of magic - only that Pearl’s romantic stories of the Deep Dwellers are a lie.

As the two grow into young adults together, both the mysteries they seek to unravel and their romantic feelings for each other become hopelessly entangled. However, Pearl’s father threatens to separate them if they dig too deeply into Tempest’s secrets: a hidden passage, a Deep Dweller cult, and rumors of human sacrifices.

But when the wealthy and kind Lotham family arrives on Moon Tithe, offering Pearl an escape from the secrets that haunt her, her loyalty to Hake is challenged, especially when his monstrous nature is revealed.

Tempest Cursed is a magical, loose retelling of the classic novel Wuthering Heights.

Great

Well I have never before read/listened to Withering Heights so I have no idea how close this book comes to being a true retelling. But it does make me want to listen to the original.

I enjoyed this book a lot, not at all what I expected.

The narration was great, the narrator suited the story very well.

A Wuthering Heights Retelling

Audio Review:
Tempest Cursed: A Wuthering Heights Retelling intrigued me with it being a retelling of a classic. I never actually read the original book so I'm not sure how losely based it is. But i was excited to listen to this one. The story is divided into two parts. First one takes place around pre-teen years (10-11) while the second part takes place during mid-teenage years (15-16). The first half is character driven while part two is plot driven. The fantasy goth romance brings interesting characters merfolk and selkies. However the story itself moved at a slow pace for me and didn't hold my interest as much as I would have liked.

Narrator Fran Burgoyne varies her tone and gives each character individuality. Her performance enhanced the story

Amazing story, great narrator

That given I just want to say how interesting is this story. I am not a fanatic of audiobooks but wow. The narrators accent makes the audiobook so interesting. She has a great voice and control of emotions. It feels like someone is telling you the story. There is only one narrator which helps keep the story interesting. The narrator did an amazing job and it felt like someone reading the story to you. I heard the story in a 1.3 speed. The sound quality is great. There was no music or sound effects. This was a positive experience and I would recommend it to everyone. The story is interesting and different. It was well written and easily capture. I don’t think I would have thought of a better way to hear the story then as an audiobook.
