Why I recommend it: The Cursed series is definitely one to read for fans of urban fantasy and the serious side of TV’s Supernatural. It is dark and somber, without much of the snarkiness you see in some UF offerings; but, the relationships between characters—particularly Connie and her sister, Dro—are complex and poignant. I can’t help but invest emotionally in these folks and their trials, and inevitably count them my friends.
The story is well written and the characters are very well developed. Author Braun really knows her way around a written word as she is an incredible writer. I will be honest that this series left me melancholy. The writing was great, it’s just that the characters had a realistic ending instead of an elated, super pumped victory. I’m not a super fan of reality but I am looking forward to reading Amy Braun’s next series.
