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.
Cecy pretty much ripped my heart out and stomped it to pieces with A Cursed Bloodline, so you can understand my trepidation when it came time to read A Curse Unbroken. However, knowing it was the last of Celia’s books, I had faith Cecy wouldn’t do us wrong. Guess what. She didn’t!
There has never been a shortage of action in the Weird Girls series, and that continues to hold true in this book. Celia and her sisters are sent on a mission by Misha to obtain a very special and unique artifact. The thing is, everyone wants it for the power it holds.
Celia and her sisters have been put through a whole lot of crap. Not just since they were outed to the paranormal world, but the majority of their lives. What’s great though, is how everything is pulled together, coming full circle. It’s instances like this that make me wonder if the author had the entire series arc planned out, because all the pieces from previous books – including novellas – fit together, completing the puzzle. I love that!
I don’t know if it was just Celia’s overall growth, but I think this was the most I liked Celia. I mean, I’ve always liked her, but she just seemed to have blossomed. That sounds lame as hell, but I can’t think of another way to put it. Or maybe it was those “special cartwheels” she did. Now that was funny! Seriously though, Celia rocks in A Curse Unbroken.
When it comes to Aric, he certainly has the whole alpha thing going on. There were times I couldn’t decide whether to be irritated with him or feel sorry for him, but his patience was tested for sure when it came to Celia. Mostly I found it kind of funny. I’m just mean like that. Celia and Aric fought hard to be together, though, so they deserve a HEA. Right?
It’s funny, because when the vampires made their appearance in the first book, I thought they were going to be on the corny side, especially when it came to the “Catholic school girls.” Wrong! They’ve turned out to be my favorites, with the exception of Bren. No one outshines Bren. But I swear, the vampires crack me up! I’m definitely going to miss them.
At first I wasn’t fully happy with how it ended, because there were unresolved issues regarding Celia’s sisters. More specifically Taryn. She’s my girl, so I hate that she’s in such a bad place. Then I remembered that Taryn will have her own books! So I’m super happy again.
As much as it sucks to see a good series end, it does so perfectly with A Curse Unbroken.
I was really happy with this one as well and I’m glad we won’t really quit the series and so see all the characters again. But like you I had a really nice time with the story! Great review!
I love seeing all of yall so into this series. Very awesome you’ll get more with another sister 😀
Now I have another series to add to my endless tbr pile. Good things all books are out so I won’t have to wait for every next installment as usual. Thanks for sharing, Christy! Glad the last installment lived up to your expectations. 🙂
I’m 2 books behind on this series, but I love it so much! I need to catch up and I didn’t know this was the last Celia+Aric book!! WHAT? But as long as they get that HEA, I’m perfectly okay! Now I want to know what’s going on with Tarryn. I’ll try to squeeze in book 4 over the weekend! Great review, Christy! 🙂
LOL! The cartwheels, that was one of my favorite parts! She was so sparkly LOL!
I loved this as well and while I am sad we will be saying goodbye to Celia’s POV and the delicious Alric, I am excited to get Tarryn, Shayna and Em’s story! I just know it will be a great one!
I am so tired! Could I have screwed up the spelling if everyone’s name any more than I did in this post? *sigh* Taran, Aric, yep, I need some caffeine!
Have a great weekend Christy!
OMG those cartwheels and her sparkles! That’s my favorite version of Celia. Nice to see her loosen up a bit.
Ali absolutely loves this series too Christy, so you both have convinced me I need to read it immediately! I’m glad I’ll have this book on hand when I start book 5 though, as everyone seems to universally agree that it was brutal. I’m nervous for that one, but I’m glad there’s an HEA for Celia and Aric in this one!
I know this is a favorite series to many! I will start this series one day! *shakes fist in air* LOL! Awesome review, Christy!
I’ve heard so many amazing things about this series. One day I’ll get to it!
Oh no! now we’re up to book five and still only on book 2. I really need to join this party!
I have been putting this series on hold since I knew it was going to end soon. Guess it’s time I get to it. Though I don’t like having things unresolved at the end.
Celia and Aric’s stuff is resolved. Things are just left open for other characters because their stories aren’t finished yet. We’ll get them soon. I hope.
This series is getting a lot of buzz. I *have* to find out why! I’m glad to see your main character blossomed in this books, it’s always fun to see a heroine grow into her own 🙂
Yea, most of the alpha males we read about hit me the same way. 🙂 I haven’t read the first book and this is making me want to pick it up! Brilly review!
Aric I want to love him and squeeze him and slap him in the back of the head..lol Cannot wait for the next book 🙂
I think I first heard about this series through one of Kimberley’s reviews, so I dutifully book the prequel… and am trying to find the time to read it ! I’m glad to see you thought that series was good until the end 🙂
sound like a good book, I have heard lots of good thing about this book 🙂
I love series enders when everything just ties together nicely, it makes me really impressed with the author’s pre-planning. Great review Christy!
