No one can ever break The Satyr’s Curse.~~~~~~REVIEW: THE SATYR’S CURSE is the first instalment in Alexandrea Weis’s adult, contemporary, paranormal series of the same name. The focus of the storyline is a 150 year old voodoo curse placed upon Julian Devereau-a man who returns to New Orleans every forty years searching for the one woman who can break the spell. Enter Jazzmyn Livaudais-a local restaurant owner whose life is about to spiral out of control. The storyline follows Julian’s seduction of Jazzmyn Livaudais. Believing Jazzmyn is his salvation and the only person to break the magic spell that has cursed him for 150 years, Julian begins to weave his own spell of seduction but Jazzmyn may have feelings for another man. With Julian’s good looks, his expensive clothing and his exotic cars, Jazzmyn is quickly pulled under Julian’s spell. But it is the truth about his attraction and need for Jazzmyn that will find our heroine struggling with what needs to be done. The relationship between Julian and Jazzmyn is one of immediate attraction to one another but one that has been manipulated by a curse. Julian needs Jazzmyn to set him free, and Jazzmyn is attracted to Julian’s looks, personality and gentlemanly veneer. Throughout the storyline well meaning friends and family continue to warn Jazzmyn about Julian’s dark and malevolent aura. Because of the curse, Julian’s personality and physical build have been altered.There is also the relationship between Jazzmyn and her head chef Kyle Baker. Former lovers and friends for a number of years, Kyle becomes suspicious of Julian’s relationship with Jazzmyn and sets out to destroy any semblance of a building love. The love triangle aspect begins to take center stage when Jazzmyn is pulled between two men-neither one deserving –but both with an agenda. Jazzmyn’s attraction and need for both men differs but her heart is unable to make a life long commitment.The world building brings the reader onto the streets of New Orleans, behind the scenes of a busy restaurant, and up close with a fabled tale about a cursed man who has yet to atone for the sins of his past. The secondary characters include Jazzmyn’s colorful employees who add spice and entertainment to the storyline. We meet Ms. Helen, one of the kitchen staff, who knows a little more about voodoo magic and Julian Devereau than anyone should know. Julian’s connection to Jazzmyn begins in the past but reveals itself in the present.Alexandrea Weis invites you into her imagination and the entertaining world of the paranormal. The Satyr’s Curse is a story of mystery, suspense, romance and passion, but it is also a dark and demonic tale of one man’s need and desires for the woman he cannot control. The Satyr’s Curse blends modern day New Orleans with the old world beliefs of voodoo curses and vengeful spells.
review 2: First off: let me admit that I waited over a year to read this and it was well worth the wait. It had me on pins-and-needles for much of the book - the imagery was GREAT and wove quite a tale of mystery, fantasy, history, and obsession. The character of Julian Devereau was written to an extent that this reader was totally sucked into loving the man/beast. I WANTED him to have his happily ever after.....his humanity; if you will. He was.....compelling and magnetic. He was also scary, mysterious, sneaky, and wonderfully sexual........a BEAST of a man!Jazzmyn Livaudais was a woman bent on being the dominant one in her life-decisions but when it came down to it she came up short on decisions she made for her own love life. I think she couldn't face what she desired for her 'mate' in life and that is that she wanted a strong dominant man - like Julian Devereau. I savored the reading of this book and it was VERY much worth the wait. I'm hoping they'll be another to follow......? This reader hopes so. It's a book I'll read again......'twas that good. I'd also read "The Ghosts of Rue Dumaine" by Alexandrea Weis and found it wonderful, as well.Recommended. Thank you. less
