This short story is easy to read and hard to put down once you start it. I found the book relatable as heart disease runs in my family, and it's easy to feel that genetic predispositions are "curses" that you cannot avoid. I enjoyed the magical story line and especially the ending which is both entertaining and educational.

Loved the book My Cursed Heart, this book really peaks your interest early in the story line and makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens and find out if the curse is still ,well you will have to read the book and find out. I highly recommend it!!!!!!!!!!

My Cursed Heart is a little bit of fantasy, with a little bit of whimsy. Author Steve Zimcosky has written a short story with likable characters and a very unusual plot that is both entertaining and different. While there are only 60 pages to My Cursed Heart, the story is well told and moves along at just the right pace. There is a very unique and clever story line that is worth reading. If you enjoy reading short stories with themes of family interaction, then this is the book for you. I think My Cursed Heart is a fast paced, enjoyable story that will give your imagination some work.

My Cursed Heart reaches into a shared, ancient fear of curses and the evil beings who are able to destroy lives simply with the recitation of a few hateful words. I loved sharing in the narrator's search as he sought to learn more about his family's history and followed those clues that led him back into the dark forested places of the past. Zimcosky's plot is intricate and clever, and his characters are credible and finely honed. Ivetic Vicai's lovely colored illustrations bring the legend and the parties to that ancient curse to life most vividly. This well written and absorbing tale kept me happily reading from first word to last, and I'm hoping to come across more work by this talented author. My Cursed Heart is most highly recommended.
