When one of his officers kills a family to keep the secret
of what he and his three fellow comrades are, shape-shifters
who belong to the Imnada race, Captain Mac Flannery finds
himself cursed to be trapped in his animal form during the
hours of darkness. Worse, now that he's cursed, his clan has
renounced him and outlawed him from his home. When Adam, one
of the four, is murdered, Mac begins investigating the death
of his friend. Mac's only lead to what happened to his
friend is an actress named Bianca, a woman who happens to be
the object of every man's desire and may have been Adam's
mistress.
Bianca Parrino has finally escaped the clutches of her
abusive husband and she never wants to be under the control
of a man again. When her dear friend is murdered and Mac
turns up asking questions, Bianca has no choice but to rely
on Mac when the killer turns his attention towards them.
Bianca feels things for Mac she never felt for her husband
but when the truth of what Mac is comes out, will it be too
much for Bianca to handle?
When I first read the synopsis for Alexa Egan's debut novel
DEMON'S CURSE, I was excited to read the first book in the
Imnada Brotherhood series. Unfortunately that excitement
fell to the wayside as I began reading. I think one of my
biggest problems with this story was the cold blooded
murders that kick off the book. I know what the
justification was but it didn't seem like enough of a reason
to kill someone without provocation. My other problem with
the story was that I didn't feel the connection between Mac
and Bianca. I couldn't get invested in them or their
relationship. I was, however, intrigued by some of the side
characters, which is probably what will bring me back to
this series when the next book comes out. All in all,
DEMON'S CURSE wasn't a story I absolutely hated but it's not
one I'm clamoring to add to my keeper shelf either.
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.
