It just wasn't for me. After enjoying The Graces, I was pretty disappointed with the disjointed follow-up, The Curses. I liked some of the story but felt confused by all the directions it seemed to take and Summer's constant droning on and on. I waited so long for this book and wished it had been better.

Highly unpredictable, until you get to the end and think back to see all the signs that were there. The Graces is a well written and filled with twists.

Spoiler below***************************************************************





I don't know whose side I should be on because you want to love The Graces as much as everyone does but also you know they are only out to protect themselves but you also want to hate River a little for keeping all of her secrets. She's such a anti-hero, an antagonistic protagonist. I did not see River joining forces with Marcus but it is the obvious next step for her.






End Spoiler*************************************************************

I don't know how long we'll have to wait for the next book but I don't know if I can stand it. An excellent book that I couldn't get enough of.

Let me preface this by saying that I enjoyed this book. I truly did consume it and had a hard time putting it down (or turning my Kindle off, if you will). The story had a bit of an original twist and I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't romance heavy, and definitely not just revolving around the paranormal aspects. It had an intellgence to it that drove the story a bit deeper.
With that said, in the beginning it suffered from some pretty awful quotes. Also, it did have a bit of a feeling like bits and pieces of different films and books were cut and pasted together to form the plot. Starting with a bit of Twilight, throwing in The Craft, a dash of The Virgin Suicides (which a nod is given to this in the story itself) and a little pinch of Practical Magic seem to be mixed together to form the recipe this story. But all those ingredients didn't translate in a cohesive dish. The end result was a story that felt a bit all over the place. I think where this book will fail for many is how it was marketed. It definitely doesn't deliver what I think it marketed.
Still, it left me excited enough to pick up the next book right away.
