Book Review: "A Cursed Embrace" by Cecy Robinson


Celia Wird and her three sisters are just like other twentysomething girls—with one tiny exception: They are the products of a curse that backfired and gave each of them unique powers that made them, well, a little weird.…

After Celia Wird and her sisters help master vampire Misha save his family, their powers are exposed to the supernatural community of the Lake Tahoe region. But fame comes at a price, and being “weird” isn’t always welcome.

To make matters worse, Celia desires the love of Alpha werewolf Aric, but his pack is bent on destroying their relationship to preserve his pureblood status. And once weres start turning up dead—with evidence pointing to the vampires—she must face the prospect of losing Aric forever. But the chaos only masks a new threat. An evil known as the Tribe has risen—and their sights are set on Celia and her sisters.


First off, I received this book free through Goodreads.com giveaways. Being in paperback form, I did set it aside several times while in the process of reading, just do to preferring my Kindle e-reader most times. Also, I just wanted to note, that unfortunately I had not read the first book i this series, though, this one could be read by itself, with minor details coming from the first book. Definitely a nice paranormal romance story, with a few steamy scenes. Not for the teen readers, mind you. I thought had enough action and story going to keep me reading it, though I am not a big fan of the seemingly constant yearnings, wants, lusts that were going on throughout the book. I do like a good romance every once in awhile, but as in most books, it seems everyone is the societal 'perfect body' and blah blah blah. Old argument, so won't continue here. If I come across the first book of the series, I would read it, just to get the details of some stuff referenced in this book.
