Lovely Review of Cursed
Cursed
by Jamie Leigh Hansen
If you’ve ever had a dream you can’t forget, if you’ve ever fantasized that you did get your high school crush after all, if you’re a romantic at heart, this book is for you.
When Seattle software designer Elizabeth Raines returns to Spokane to care for her dying mother and her ten, count them, ten nieces and nephews, she has no idea that she’s about to meet the man of her dreams. She’s a little busy warding of CPS, coping with broken toilets and sighing over spilled milk by day, but at night she can revel in burgundy satin sheets and strong arms around her-even if it’s only in her imagination. Or so she thinks.
But when Alex Foster-the one she’s been dreaming of for the past twelve years-steps out of her dreams and into a grocery store parking lot, Elizabeth’s life is about to change forever.
Unfortunately Alex, who is still crazy about Elizabeth, has a lot of enemies. Bad ones. Like some fallen angels. And a female demon called Maeve who is bent on revenge. Besides obstacles like these, Elizabeth’s dysfunctional relatives are merely annoying-a sister in rehab who won’t stay there and a self-obsessed brother in jail, to mention a couple.
Fortunately there are some beings in this world who seek merely to do good-and two of these Nephilim are on Elizabeth’s and Alex’s side.
One of the delights of this book is getting to know the complex characters and their inner lives, along with the author’s always-present sense of humor. Readers will be consumed in the magical, threatening but ultimately rewarding world of Cursed, in which you don’t just have to fight for those you love, you have to fight hard. And where sometimes, your worst enemy may just be yourself.
The Spokane Coeur d’ Alene Living Magazine had this beautiful review in the February 2009 issue. Right now they only have December 2008 issue online, but hopefully it will be visible soon. :) http://www.spokanecda.com/index.php
