A review by cleocleveland
The Cursed by Alyssa Day
4.0
This was a fun start to this series. I enjoyed Rio & Luke as individuals and their growing relationship. The story takes place in Bordertown, and area in Manhattan where fae, demons, humans and other races live and work. I really liked the world building here. Although there will always be a place in my heart for your basic vampire story I'm really liking the new trend of having a lot of different supernatural races share space. I can't get into too much without spoilers but the end of this book really sets up the series to continue to explore the differences and politics of the region.
As a couple Rio and Luke are fun. There's some good banter and only a couple of instances of "why don't you just tell him/her". The secondary characters round out their personalities, especially for Rio as she's more outgoing and makes friends more easily. Add in an awesome pet "more than an fox" and I'm sold. While I enjoyed this enough to wish I had read it sooner, I'm also glad I waiting since book 2 is just coming out soon now.
