Damned by Alexandrea Weis, Lucas Astor
4.0
This book had a lot of buzz words for me which is probably why I wanted so desperately to be part of the tour. We have a neglected historical haunted house, curses, spirits, voodoo and lot of dragon references. Also, there were hints about Lexie having a supernatural gift and I pretty much had to find out what that gift was.
First I have to say that my copy of this book was beautiful. I don't normally like people on the cover, but I think the model's eyes, coupled with the dragon cane and mansion on the hill work great together. Next, there are flourishes at the beginning of the chapters and the chapter number is done in color - basically unheard of on my Kindle. It's all in the details people!
Next, I felt an immediate connection to the characters and I needed to know if Magnus was good, bad or somewhere in between. It was fun being with Lexie as she journeys to different areas looking for a lost relic and the descriptive methods used by the authors made me feel like I was seeing this run-down house for the first time and visiting the locations along with Lexie.
I don't want to give too much away because I went into the actual plot pretty blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the better because of it. I have discovered there is a prequel novel (Blackwell 0.5) which provides more into Magus' backstory and I've already purchased it for my Kindle. If you enjoy the things mentioned in the first paragraph, then definitely consider picking this book up!
