Fresh Fiction Review

CURSED
S.J. Harper

Reviewed by Samantha R
Posted January 5, 2014

Fantasy

Emma Monroe is a cursed Siren. Her only way out is saving people. Luckily, being part of the FBI puts her in a great place for doing that until she meets Zack Armstrong again. Sure, he's sexy, and they have an amazing connection, but part of Emma's curse is that whoever she loves will die. She will have to face being around him and try to find redemption or else.

CURSED uses incredible main characters, Emma and Zack, to spin a story of finding forgiveness and redemption. I love how tough both main characters are. The chemistry between them heats up the pages, and their personalities mesh well. They highly respect each other and see each other as equals, which makes me root for them throughout the whole book. They are a powerful couple in every sense of the word. The road for them together and apart is paved with difficulty, and I never know what will come next for them.

While the characters truly shine, the action throughout CURSED gives the story a healthy and fast past, perfect for mystery/crime lovers. It blends the supernatural elements of sirens and werewolves with the scary thrillers of real life. The suspense keeps you guessing, and their crime solving further displays the characters in a new light as they face challenges and have to work out new strategies.

Overall, I highly enjoyed CURSED by S. J. Harper. It's the first in a new series that I can't wait to read more of and see how Emma and Zack further both break my heart and make me believe in them more at the same time.

SUMMARY

Meet FBI Agents Emma Monroe and Zack Armstrong. She's cursed. He's damned. Together, they make one hell of a team. Emma Monroe is a Siren, cursed by the gods and bound to earth to atone for an ancient failure. She’s had many names and many lives, but only one mission: redemption. Now that she works missing persons cases for the FBI, it could be just a rescue away. Unless her new partner leads her astray. Special Agent Zack Armstrong just transferred into the San Diego Field Office. He’s a werewolf, doing his best to beat back the demons from his dark and dangerous past. As a former Black Ops sniper, he’s taken enough lives. Now he’s doing penance by saving them. Emma and Zack’s very first case draws them deep into the realm of the paranormal, and forces them to use their own supernatural abilities. But that leaves each of them vulnerable, and there are lines partners should not cross. As secrets are revealed and more women go missing, one thing becomes clear: as they race to save the victims, Emma and Zack risk losing themselves. FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!
