About the book:
Emma Monroe is a Siren, cursed by
the gods and bound to earth to atone for an ancient failure. She’s had many
names and many lives, but only one mission: redemption. Now that she works
missing persons cases for the FBI, it could be just a rescue away. Unless her
new partner leads her astray.
Special Agent Zack Armstrong just transferred into the San Diego Field Office. He’s a werewolf, doing his best to beat back the demons from his dark and dangerous past. As a former Black Ops sniper, he’s taken enough lives. Now he’s doing penance by saving them.
Emma and Zack’s very first case draws them deep into the realm of the paranormal, and forces them to use their own supernatural abilities. But that leaves each of them vulnerable, and there are lines partners should not cross. As secrets are revealed and more women go missing, one thing becomes clear: as they race to save the victims, Emma and Zack risk losing themselves.

My Thoughts:
Being a siren can’t be easy. Being banned
from home without being able to return home before a Goddess says so – even worse.
Then imagine having to save young women from fates worse than death, to hide
who you truly are, always keeping your guard up, never falling in love, because
if you do, they die. NOT easy.
But Emma isn’t the only one running from
her past – although to be fair, her past is… uhmmm… longer than Zack’s.
I think this is the first story I’ve read
involving a siren. And to tell you the truth, I enjoyed it immensely.
It was wonderful to dive into this story, to
be absorbed by the puzzle that Emma and Zack had to solve, the clues leading to
the culprit, and let me tell you – it certainly wasn’t the villain I expected.
I was turning page after page, not even noticing how late it got, because
frankly, the writing was amazing. I got caught into the hopelessness of Emma
and Zack’s possible Happily Ever After, and the horrible decision Emma had to
make. And in all the personal drama, they still had to find all the missing
persons, follow all the clues and connect the dots.
I loved reading Cursed. Every damn second.
The mix of a love story (although a tad bittersweet) with the police
investigation, detective work… wow. Amazingly spun. I have read a few mysteries/police
investigations over time, and this one is definitely on the top of my list! The
balance between the two sides is perfect, the characters are wonderful written,
and the story that the author is telling is captivating.
I’ll have to tell you though… The ending was… oh, it was gruel. My heart was
beating, my heart pounding, my hands were shaking… And even though the ending
hurt like a b*tch, I understood the WHY. I truly did. I would’ve done the same,
even if it ripped out my own heart in the progress.
Cross my heart, this is a wonderful start
to a new series, and it shows exactly how good both Samantha Sommersby and Jeanne
C. Stein are together. I hope they keep up the amazing good work and keep
feeding my addiction! Thank you Ladies!
