Fantasy Urban | Paranormal

Celia Wird and her three sisters have never really fit in anywhere. They do not fully belong in the human world as they were cursed with unusual abilities, yet they do not quite fit in the supernatural world due to the nature of their abilities. They only have each other and try to ignore the supernatural community. Unfortunately, when one of her sisters is charged with killing a vampire, all of the sisters find themselves in vampire court facing death since it is common knowledge that vampires are harmless creatures. Fortunately for them, it is proven that the vampire was suffering from bloodlust, and thus her sister acted in self defense. It soon becomes apparent that this incident is not an isolated attack. What is causing the vampires to go crazy? How are so many vampires being infected by bloodlust?

Celia recognizes that her unique abilities may help in the fight against the infected vampires, and she agrees to help Misha, the head of a vampire family decimated by the bloodlust. She hates that her sisters will follow her into danger, but she will protect them with her life. Unfortunately, she did not realize that joining the vampires would pit her against Aric, the leader of the werewolf pack who is intent on destroying Misha and his infected family. Celia finds herself caught between the two charming and handsome men, and must figure out her heart's desire while making sure that everyone makes it unscathed through the upcoming battles. How difficult will the ensuing skirmish turn out to be? Will they find out who is behind the rampant bloodlust before it is too late?

Cecy Robson switches it up by changing all the rules to debut her entertaining urban fantasy. She provides us with not one but four tough as nails heroines who hold family sacred above all else. These feisty sisters certainly are a force to be reckoned with, and they meet their matches in the supernatural community. This book was a delight to read. I found myself laughing at the antics, cheering for the underdogs, and hoping for it to never end. The characters are distinctive and each one adds a bit of flavor to the overall story. Ms. Robson has created a fun and engaging tale filled with werewolves, witches and vampires -- only a few of my favorite things. SEALED WITH A CURSE combines mystery, romance, and the supernatural to take us on an adventure unlike any other. I truly cannot wait to see what the Weird Girls have coming their way next.

SUMMARY

Celia Wird and her three sisters are just like other 20–something girls—with one tiny exception: they're products of a backfired curse that has given each of them unique powers that make them, well, weird...

The Wird sisters are content to avoid the local vampires, werebeasts, and witches of the Lake Tahoe region—until one of them blows up a vampire in self–defense. Everyone knows vampires aren't aggressive, and killing one is punishable by death. But soon more bloodlust–fueled attacks occur, and the community wonders: are the vampires of Tahoe cursed with a plague?

Celia reluctantly agrees to help Misha, the handsome leader of an infected vampire family. But Aric, the head of the werewolf pack determined to destroy Misha's family to keep the region safe, warns Celia to stay out of the fight.

Caught between two hot alphas, Celia must find a way to please everyone, save everyone, and oh yeah, not lose her heart to the wrong guy—or die a miserable death. Because now that the evil behind the plague knows who Celia is, he's coming for her and her sisters. This Wird girl has never had it so tough.
