Fans of Keri Arthur will love the Weird Girls, four sisters cursed with supernatural powers. In Cecy Robson’s latest urban fantasy romance, the search is on for an unholy grail, while evil is licking its wounds—and looking for revenge.
The preternatural world is changing. After a massive magical throwdown tore apart the established order, the dark elements are rebuilding their ranks unopposed. Celia Wird’s world is changing, too. She’s the mate of the pureblood were Aric, and his Warriors are honor-bound to protect her family as she and her sisters recover from unimaginable horrors.
Celia hesitates to reveal the true extent of the Wird sisters’ trauma, but they aren’t the only ones keeping secrets: Aric and the werewolf Elders are tracking a stone that grants limitless power. So is a tough coven of witches. Then Misha, a master vampire with his own plans for the stone, sends Celia after it. Can she and the vamps beat both the weres and the witches to the treasure before it falls into the wrong hands?
Fearing for Celia’s safety, Aric begs her to stay out of the hunt. What they don’t realize is that they’re the ones being hunted. But Celia’s ready to prove that she’s not easy prey.
Hum baby. If you thought that Celia's life couldn't get any more complicated, you thought wrong. Luckily, we have one amazing heroine and her band of possessive wolves and crazy sisters to help her out.
While I was finally wondering if I'd reached my limit with terrible things happening to Celia, Robson handled the endless obstacles well. It helps that her main character is so strong and just as fed up with all the trouble as the reader. I liked seeing her reach a final breaking point - how she finally took control, over the Pack, over Misha and his vampires, over witches (yes, witches), over everyone who is in the way of her and her happiness with Aric. It was wonderful to see her grow (who knew she still had space!?) and really come into her own as a woman and a woman in a leadership role, however unwilling she may be to take up that mantle.
Celia and Aric's relationship is wonderful and it's nice to see them presented as a united front rather than separate. While everything around them is up in the air and in chaos, it is refreshing and lovely to see how they approach of this stuff together. That being said, my heart broke a little over the lasting consequences of the A Cursed Bloodline, and while A Curse Unbroken had an ending that I am very pleased with, I am happy that the rest of the weird girls will be explored more in Taran's own series. I have always loved how developed and wonderful Celia's sisters and the secondary characters in the series were, and I can't wait to see more of them. I also enjoyed learning more about the witches and their relationships to the other supernatural groups in the Weird Girls' world, especially since details about the sisters' curse are revealed.
A Curse Unbroken is high action, high romance, high stakes finale. It promises all of the struggle and sacrifice as the previous books, as well as the swoon-worthy romance and laugh out loud comedy. This is one of my favorite urban fantasy series and this finale did not disappoint. It was a joy to read and while I am sad to say goodbye to Celia's voice, I am happy with the knowledge that my time with this lovable, dysfunctional, and weird family isn't over.
