Cursed by K.K. Allen | Book Review

Jul. 07, 2021


Cursed by K.K. Allen | Book Reviewfive-stars
Cursed by K.K. Allen
Genres: Paranormal Romance

USA Today Bestselling Author, K.K. Allen, takes readers on a deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful adventure in a contemporary fantasy series based on a young woman learning the true nature of her bloodline and the enchanting world that awaits her.

Katrina Summer always knew she was different. Her fiery temper seems to perpetually land her in hot water, making her an outcast among her peers. When tragedy strikes and she’s sent to live with her only remaining family in the tiny coastal town of Apollo Beach, Katrina starts counting down the days until her eighteenth birthday.

Only then will she finally be free.

As Katrina learns the legends of her Ancient Greek ancestors, secrets from her heritage are exposed—secrets that her mother purposefully concealed. Her only solace is found in Alec Stone, the gorgeous guy next door. With his devastatingly charming smile, his persistent flirtation, and a love that sparks from the flames of friendship, he offers her a much-needed escape from the turmoil.

If only she wasn’t cursed.

As powerful forces threaten the lives in Apollo Beach, Katrina can’t escape the evocative world of mythological enchantment and evil prophecies that lurk around every corner. For fans of Twilight, Teen Witch, The Secret Circle, and Percy Jackson.

CURSED is Book 1 in the all-new ENCHANTED GODS series.

CursedTeaser4

I am so excited about this book and author. It is my first book from K.K. Allen and she blew me away with this one.

Kat is not your ordinary girl because with her eighteenth birthday her life is going to change. This series takes us into the world of myths that become reality. Kat has been struggling and when her mother dies she is forced to go live with her grandmother, whom she has never met.

There at Apollo Beach Kat begins to discover who she really is and more about her ancestry. She also meets Alec, her neighbor and Johnny, who doesn’t seem to like her at all. This is just the beginning of this story and I can’t wait to find out what happens.

I will be the first to admit I normally don’t like books where everything is not resolved by the end but this one left me breathless and I am on pins and needles waiting for the next one.

    This sounds like an interesting read. I can relate to the fact of having an estranged family member… I wonder how Kat deals with it. I’ll have to check this out.

    When I was reading about this book, there wasn’t anything that I didn’t like about it but there also wasn’t much that made me want to ho get the book either. Then, I read your review, and that all changed. Now I want to read this book to see what you mean and because your excitement is contagious.

Holly Lorena Cain, formerly known as Georgina Lorena Cain, was well acquainted with rock bottom. She’s coasted along its rocky shores for years. It all started when her mother left her when she was barely old enough to understand. For years, her and her dad struggled to make ends meet. A dying cattle farm can’t run itself, and with her dad having cancer, it got harder and harder to hang on to land that’s been in her family for generations.

Just as she thinks that she’s finally made it, her father passes away and leaves every single thing he owns to their neighbor. The man that’d been worming his way into her father’s good graces while she’d been away pursuing higher education.

But she can’t be mad.

Being mad would mean that she has a soul left, but she sold that a long time ago to pay for college.

Once she comes to terms with her father and the land being gone, she moves back to Bear Pass and with one thing on her mind—avoid Denver at all costs. He can never know just how much it hurt that he stole her life away from her.

Only, he makes it impossibly hard to stay away.

He’s there around every corner. He offers her a place to stay. Makes sure she has a place to work. Fixes her car. Saves her from a kidnapper. Oh, and gives her everything her heart desires.

She stays away as best as she can, but she doesn’t stand a chance against Denver’s determination and charm. He’s there when no one else is, peeling her off the floor and propping her back up again each time she falls.

The gruff motorcycle club president with his scary glares and harsh work ethic has decided to make her his, and he won’t stand for her refusal.

He’s been protecting her for her entire life, and she doesn’t even know it.

He won’t stop now, even if she’s bound and determined to stay away.
