review 2: SHADOW'S CURSE by Alexa Egan is an intriguing Paranormal Romance set during the Regency England era,1817. #2 in the "Imnada Brotherhood", but can be read as a stand alone. See, "Demon's Curse", although, I would suggest reading this first, just for background information. Callista Hawthorne,necromancer, gifted so by the Fey blood on her maternal side. And David St. Leger is an Imnada exile, a shapechanger, who shifts into a wolf, he suffers from a curse and its deadly palliative and plagues the streets of London. He is captured by Victor Corey, who Callista has been promised to by her dreadful brother, Branston for his ill gain. Together David and Callista must face their worst fears. Callista offers David a proposal he can't refuse if he wishes to escape Mr. Corey. But agreeing to her terms forces him into the treacherous world of the half-Fey,his clans sworn enemy. Danger and passion drawn them together, but can they bring the two foes together with their love for each other? Their life blood,and their love for each other could just be the one thing both clans is searching for....Fast paced and adventure filled. With danger, destiny, a curse, and the power of true love. If you enjoy Paranormal romance than I would suggest you pick up "Shadow's Curse". Well written, with engaging and sometimes charming characters. The storyline is interesting as well as intriguing. Received for an honest review from the publisher.RATING: 4HEAT RATING: HOTREVIEWED BY: AprilR, Courtesy of My Book Addiction and More less
