The Cursed by Alyssa Day
3.0
I discovered The Cursed while browsing Audible Escape and decided to give it a go. Shortly after I checked the author's website to see the series had been cancelled by the publisher and no follow up book has been released. This does not end in a cliffhanger, so I continued on with it.
The world was interesting and the early chapters really pulled me in. I enjoyed Rio and Luke, both, as well as the secondary characters. As the story wore on, I became more and more frustrated with the way Rio and Luke both put their heads in the sand and refused to deal with all the questions concerning Rio's past. Everyone but her seemed to know who she was and what was coming, but rather than follow up they both just sort of ignored everything. Plus, the way things were glossed over about Luke's "curse" and how quick both of them were to storm off in a huff was annoying.
I really liked certain aspects of the book, and I would have read another had it been available, but overall this was a pretty underwhelming listen.
