About this book

Betrayal has stripped away every illusion, leaving a bitter reality in its wake. After discovering that her life has been a carefully orchestrated performance as a puppet, the protagonist must navigate a world where the lines between enemy and lover have irrevocably blurred. Her husband, Gray, remains the architect of her deception, yet the magnetic, soul-searing pull between them refuses to fade, even as they stand on opposite sides of a war for the future of their kind.

With the Covenant shattered and her thirst for revenge replaced by a desperate need for atonement, she faces the wrath of the surviving witches who hold her accountable for their ruin. She is no longer the naïve girl chasing delusions of grandeur; she is a woman burdened by a centuries-old destiny she never chose. To save the remnants of her coven from Gray’s calculated hatred, she must untangle the web of lies that binds her to him.

As she steps into the role of protector, she realizes that the cost of redemption may be her own heart. In this high-stakes game of power and magic, she must decide if her bond with Gray is a weapon to be wielded or a cage that will finally destroy her.

Gray and Willow

"When I reviewed book one I had to be mindful not to give spoilers and that meant I couldn't go on and on about the shocking cliffhanger we were treated to. But now I can. If you haven't read book 1 of this series, stop reading this review and go find book 1. Book 2 is not a standalone. So at the end of book one, our hearts are ripped out as we find out that the Gray we had fallen in love with alongside Willow, was in fact, not only manipulating her the entire time, but wasn't even "Gray". Turned out he was Lucifer Morningstar himself. Trapped in the body of a vessel. The horrific way he treated her made the betrayal that much more devastating. I was shocked, appalled and saddened. The way he did things...so callous and cold. Anyway. This book pics up immediately where book one left off. Willow bleeding out from a stab wound, given by Gray aka Lucifer. And we are along for the ride as she recovers and attempts to navigate a new reality, one where the man she had started falling in love with isn't who she thought he was. A reality where everyone has an agenda, and she can't really trust anyone. A reality, where despite the pain and fear and fury Gray has created within her, he's decided he won't ever let her go. It's a wild ride. Well written, steamy, fun, sad, interesting. The ending was abrupt in a way that left me unsure if Gray and Willow's story was concluded or if there would be a third novel with them living out what looks to he quite the prophecy. What we do know, is there will be a third book in the series centered on two side characters, who I will not name because I'm not big on spoiling things. If this was the end of Gray and Willow's story, then I'm not sure what to say. There were what I felt were loose ends... but at the same time, those loose ends could technically be tied up by other books centering on other characters. 10/10 would recommend this book. ["

3.5 ⭐️

"I’ll admit I got this book when I was still early into The Coven (book 1). I thoroughly enjoyed that one and was excited to jump right into the next one but honestly it didn’t deliver quite like I’d hoped. I still enjoyed the read, and the audio. I will say that the audible and Spotify premium audio recordings did not entirely match my hardcover or kindle copies of either book. Book 1 audio is missing 2 whole chapters that are in my printer and ebook copies. Book 2 audio contains a chapter that isn’t in my print or ebook copies, as well as an epilogue that also wasn’t in those copies either. I’m invested in the connection between Willow and Gray so I’m still anticipating the release of The Damned this October. The Cursed was slower than the first book was; most of the excitement was in the last 1/4 of the book. The spice was good, but the plot sort of fell flat for me. Mostly happy ending. I think you could read books 1 & 2 and feel like it was complete, but there is a third coming out soon. These books are gorgeous - will definitely be buying that one, too. ["

Twists, Betrayals, and Unbreakable Bonds: The Cursed Continues Gray & Willow’s Wild Ride

"The Cursed picks up right where book one left off, and it’s an intense continuation! Willow is now the head of the Coven, with Gray by her side, and their magical bond is stronger than ever. But while their relationship deepens, Willow struggles to balance leading the Coven and fully embracing her love for Gray. Trust within the Coven, especially concerning Gray, is still a huge issue. After the shocking twist in book one—Gray being Lucifer in disguise—the betrayal stung deeply. In book two, Willow’s dealing with the fallout, healing from a stab wound, and learning that the man she trusted is far from who she thought he was. Trust is scarce, and everyone has their own agendas, but Gray is determined to hold onto her, despite everything. This book is a thrilling ride—steamy, emotional, and full of twists. The ending left me questioning if this is the end of Gray and Willow’s story or if we’ll get more in a third book. There are still some loose ends, but I’m excited to see where this series goes next!

Witches, demons, angels, oh my 🤤

"Such a good book. I love the magic system and the setting of this book. I felt like I was LIVING in this book. A lot of magic systems can be confusing or too much or not enough, this was JUST right. Loved it. 🤌 ["
