Demon's Curse

Romance Paranormal

DEMON'S CURSE finds Capt. Mac Flannery suffering under a curse that has been handed to him and the other members of his military unit just before Waterloo. As a member of the shape-shifting Imnada who live as recluses, this particular curse has gotten them banished from their own kind. At night they must shift and stay in their animal form, only returning as men in the light of day.

Bianca Parrino, who has forged a life for herself out of the grasp of a abusive husband, has befriended Adam, one of the unit and an Imnada. She has no idea who or what he is nor that he has been the one who had brought the curse down on his friends and is working on a possible cure, but the revenge of the "Other" who survived the massacre of family members found him first. Mourning her friend, she is soon involved with Mac and working for his cause to be free of the curse.

Though he is falling fast for the beautiful actress he holds back. There is no future for he and others of his unit are considered rogues and have been lucky that the leaders of the Imnada have not sent out enforcers. What life can he offer her? Why would she choose to be with him when there is no future?

DEMON'S CURSE is the first the Imnada Brotherhood Series. It is an interesting look at the paranormal in a historical setting. The story is filled with deep emotions, handsome devils that have honor and a woman who was not going to give up on life no matter what it hands her. I did find parts that dragged a little and were a little confusing but it was a very good paranormal love story. The author [Alexa Egan] has the building blocks of an amazing new series, with a number of characters that need a story of their own.

SUMMARY

A fast-paced and captivating debut—the first in the dark and sexy Imnada Brotherhood series about shape shifters in Regency-era England.A rising star on the Covent Garden stage, Bianca Parrino believes she has everything she wants. Independence. Wealth. And a life finally free of her violent, abusive husband. But when her close friend, Adam, is murdered and Bianca is suspected in his death, she is unwittingly drawn into the search for his killer and soon must question everything she believes—about her friend, about herself, and about a world she never knew existed. A member of the mysterious race of shape-shifting Imnada and part of an elite military unit, Captain Mac Flannery gathered intelligence during the Napoleonic wars. As a result of a savage massacre, Mac and the men he served with are cursed. Now one of them has been found murdered, and Mac suspects the existence of the Imnada has been discovered at last. His only link to unearthing the truth is the beautiful actress who turns up unexpectedly at Adam’s funeral. Before long, Mac has more to contend with than Bianca’s overt mistrust, his ill-fated attraction to the haughty and beautiful actress, and his ongoing search for an end to the curse. Because Adam’s killer is back, and Mac is next on his list.
