The Cursed

Coven of Bones, Book 2

By: Harper L. Woods

Narrated by: Ellis Evans, Emilia Bauer

Betrayal.

He was the deception waiting in the night; the truth I never saw coming. After a lifetime of manipulation, I finally learned the truth. I was his puppet—even if I never saw my strings.

Even knowing how deep his betrayal runs, I can’t shake the undeniable connection between Gray and I—the way a single glance from him sets my soul on fire. We are not the same. We’re enemies, poised to battle for the future of the very thing I’d wanted to destroy.

With the Covenant gone, the revenge I thought I wanted is no longer my priority. The witches that remain played no role in my aunt’s death, and the only person standing in the way of righting those wrongs is the very man determined to keep me in his bed.

But the remaining members of the Coven will never forgive me for the role I played in their demise and subjugation, and the worst part of all is that I can’t even blame them for it. I’d been naïve, believing my own delusions of grandeur when destiny clearly had other plans for me—plans that had been set in motion centuries before my birth.

But even that had been a lie, and now it is my duty to do everything in my power to undo it, to protect my Coven from my husband’s hatred—no matter the cost.

it could have been better!

i feel like it was missing something to the story. also i dont feel like willow learned and actually faced the consequences to her own actions which would be part of character development like we see with grey. overall it was ok , i will give it another try next year and i will keep it cause I enjoyed the first book so much but i feel like it was a dull end to willow and grey story. 😢 the narrators were amazing and spice was good !

PRIMAL HEAT

This book brought some heat and did it well. It is easy to get very bored with cookie cutter sex screens. It is equally as bad when the sexual content is bizarrely out of place. This book provides the appropriate mental foreplay with zero awkwardness. As in it provides appropriate characters and settings and then turned the heat up to high with a cohesive flow that nailed it. The story is really good and carries over from book 1 (The Coven) seamlessly. The author fully embraces the nontraditional anti-hero leads. The underlying theme, without giving any spoilers, is to remember the quote "History is written by the victors."
Performance was great even with shifting between two narrator's which I normally am not a fan of. Both narrator's one female and one male did an excellent job. This helped immensely with the sexual content. No weird pauses or pitch changes that distract from the sceen.

Meh.

I had such high hopes for this book after being INLOVE with the first book The Coven. But after awhile I got bored. It was too much and nothing at all happening all at once. I finished it and it was a cute ending but I wouldn’t read this one again

Spicy, roller coaster of emotions

Well Willow, she really went thru it in this book. Her journey her growth as a character was so real. I found myself angry with the story and her many times but I kept reading because it was good lol.

Grey is a great character and I love how everything unfolded.
The spicy levels up in this book! Enjoy

Enchanting story

Great characters and setting part three is shaping up to be an it epic conclusion
