Is a very nicely written book. Max is a witch and a Morden day doctor do little. Claudia a Supernatural being searching for her missing daughter. This book has hero's, heroines, Supernatural being and an amazing plot. I can't wait to read more from you.

Cursed Whispers was by far the most accurate version of a love story post-trauma I have ever read! It is beautiful in its exploration of love through the eyes of somebody that has been hurt in the way that Claudia has been. This is not just a love story, but a story of a family coming together through difficult times. By far my favorite read in this series so far! Warning: does contain memories of sexual trauma that may be triggering for some although no explicit descriptions are used.

Wow! I am not typically a fan of paranormal stories but this book had me hooked from the start. I did not read the first two books in the series but after falling in love with Max and Claudia I will be revisiting the first two books. Watching Max and Claudia's relationship, which is not a “normal” pairing, no pun intended but truly magical. Witches, werewolves, magic and love, this book will definitely have you hooked until the end.

I am in LOVE with this series. I loved the book before this but so far this one is my favorite.

Be warned there is a trigger warning for abuse and sexual abuse.

We follow Max Broderick, one of our beloved Broderick brothers. And very quickly his powers of talking with animals is a wonderful benefit to him. As he meets Claudia.

This book was also so hard for me to put down. It was filled with adventure, true emotions and the overwhelming feeling of love.

I truly can't wait to read the next in the series.

I am not going to lie when I read the blurb to this book,—while pulled my interest—I was like 'oh this is going to be a typical runaway find love trope.' I thought I had the whole story mapped out. Boy was I wrong! This book pulled me into the story almost immediately and I am glad for it! Maxwell is a Broderick witch and he is gifted with the ability to speak to animals along with some telekinesis. Enter Claudia, a werewolf, on the run from a massive psychopath that had held her captive for 8 years. This book was delightful. Now I am going to go back and read the other books by this author because it was that good. I definitely recommend this book.

Cursed Whispers by AJ Renee is the third book in the Broderick Coven book series. This can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. The story focuses on a vet who finds an injured wolf who is actually a beautiful werewolf. Will he be able to keep her safe and nurse her back to health? I enjoy this series because where the stories could go into super obvious tropes the author throws nice twists to the story. I really liked the werewolf aspect of the story. The characters are great and I like how they interact with each other. I look forward to reading more in this series soon and reading more from this author.

Max and Claudia are fighting the battle of lovers. Claudia, a werewolve, has escaped from an abusive pack. She is battling abusive scars and skittish at most things. The worst part is that her 3 year old daughter/pup is still lost out there. Max, a witch, can talk to the animals and helps her when she is found in the forest. Together, they are slowly building a relationship as they work to find her daughter and destroy Claudia's old pack. With the help of Max's friends, this goal can be accomplished. A definite page-turner, you will fall in love with the members of this family and root for Max and Claudia. What a great book! Highly recommend.

Cursed Whispers (Broderick Coven Book 3) by AJ Renee
4 Stars!!!!

Another trip into the Broderick coven and I again was hooked from page one. I really like how the author is able to draw in the reader and keep you interested. I can feel all the emotions as though I was right there in the midst of the action. I also like how well balanced the book is with romance and drama.

The chemistry between Max and Claudia is just amazing. I really like how this book is really outlining how both are really finding themselves. Max cause magic is new to him and Claudia cause of the bad experiences she has had all her life. I really like how the author is able to keep the paranormal realistic with each person really personified and down to earth. I like how all the stories really do relate to the last and how it is left open to continue the series. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series.

The third book in the Broderick Coven series is the story of Max Broderick and Claudia Lupita. Max is a veterinarian and can speak to animals. Hearing a hurt animal, he goes to the rescue, not realizing that she is a werewolf. Claudia has been through abuse and rape. Can she trust another pack to help her heal? Max knows that Claudia is his mate, even though witches and werewolves aren’t supposed to be compatible, are they?
Max will do anything to protect and take care of Claudia and her daughter. Including giving her the space she needs. Will finding her captor help her heal or destroy her forever?
I am loving AJ Renee’s writing; her characters are so well developed. Thank you, AJ!!

Max Broderick is one of seven children and they are all witches, but they only found out a year ago, they each have a different magical gift and Max’s happens to be the ability to talk to animals, with a little bit of emotion triggered telekinesis thrown in for good measure. On this particular day, he is heading to his sisters house for her baby shower with one of his other brothers, he thinks he hears something coming from the woods, however puts it out of his mind and goes into the house and see his sister, but as soon as he does, he feels a pull to go out onto her patio hears a whimper of pain and sets off running in it’s direction. As he searches the woods for the animal in need, he doesn’t even contemplate whether his brother is following him because the pull he is feeling is too strong to ignore and when he finds the injured wolf which is in such a desperate condition he immediately talks to it and tries to reassure it that it is safe and in good hands, btu when he picks it up and it passes out, he realises just how bad its condition is.

As the wolf is drifting in and out of consciousness, she hears smatterings of conversations in the background but cannot focus long enough to understand their meaning and as soon as she surfaces, she is dragged back down into the darkness of memories and regrets. When she next wakes up she feels the presence of a pack alpha and is terrified of him, but the other voices around her realise this and tell him off, it is then that she realises that the door to the cage she is in is open and considers running, however, the kind voice nearby tells her it would be no use in the condition she is currently in, but that she is also free to leave whenever she wants to. She responds to his questions as best she can and introduces herself as Claudia Lupita, but she is overtaken by the need to shift and the excruciating pain which this causes makes unusual things happen in the room although she doesn’t understand why yet. Meanwhile Max is taken aback by the sudden and fierce need to protect this werewolf and loses control of his telekinesis when his brother tries to approach Claudia to heal her now she is back in her human form and as he apologises for throwing them around the room and allows him near to her to help heal her, all the while feeling her pain within him and not comprehending why.

After the others leave the surgery Max tries to engage with Claudia while giving her space and time to adjust to the new environment around her all the while constantly reassuring her that she is safe with him. Claudia decides to use the facility shower to clean up a bit and rests while she can after eating while thinking about the hell she has escaped and the things she still needs to do and when Max’s sister comes back the next morning with supplies and a kitten who chooses to be called Stormy, Claudia starts to talk about how she arrived there and who is still in the woods waiting for her. It is at this point that a Broderick family meeting is called so that Claudia doesn’t have to repeat what she has to tell them more than once and when she explains the abusive pack she escaped from with her daughter they all decide there and then that they will do everything they can to find her daughter and then help her get revenge on the pack which she escaped from.

Claudia is overwhelmed with the offer of help from the most unlikely of allies, another werewolf pack and a coven of witches and guardedly accepts their help, but her feelings towards Max are confusing her as much as they are confusing him, when they are told that they are fated mates, but will Max be able to help Claudia to overcome the events of her past, or is she too damaged to acknowledge her mate and all that it entails? Will they be able to work together to find Claudia’s daughter and the pack she escaped from and what will happen if they do? This is a romance filled with family, friends, love and some despair which will drag you along on the journey within its pages to the final destination and the highs and lows which go along with it.
