The Curse Keepers was a bit of a let down for me. Unfortunately, I had the entire series to work my way through, but I was optimistic it could improve. What irked me about the story was mainly how special the two main characters were (they were literally the only ones who could stop the curse/the en...
This story was a complete surprise. The Curse Breakers was one of those cheap stories that I found on Amazon. Relating to the supernatural, I was hooked from the first chapter and read it in two days. I initially thought it was a YA, but the main character Ellie is 23, and there is definitely sm...

Actual rating 3.5 stars. My request to view this title was approved by Netgalley. Curse Keepers is a fantastic paranormal romance based on Native American mythology.

This is a review of an ARC received from NetGalley for an honest review.I did not like this. It was too full of stereotypes, it was repetitive and had too many info-dumps. My biggest issue with this book was all the history/info-dumps. I love history and I live in NC, so growing up, of course I hear...
