Cursed by Lizzy Ford

5.0

I received Cursed in return for an honest review from the author. Adrienne hasn’t been to her father’s home since her sister disappeared but with the scholarship for her singing voice it’s the chance to figure out what happened to her sister. Returning to New Orleans means a whole new school, filled with rich kids but when she’s invited to join the cheer squad and the quarterback is showing interest Adrienne thinks things are looking up. When her chance to preform rolls around her voice is gone she knows she’s been cursed by Kimmie the mean cheerleader after all her ex is the quarterback.

Adrienne believes in voodoo after all her family has been cursed for over 400 hundred years and her sister is the latest victim as she searches for answers she’s haunted by the mysterious Red Man. She will find an unlikely friendship in Rene a gang member denying his own destiny. When the quarterback shows an interest even after her humiliation Adrienne is excited yet worried, because her father won’t like it. Jayden has his own secrets he doesn’t believe in voodoo even if he does believe that Adrienne can read the cards. As the two are thrust into a dark world will Adrienne make it away safe from the Red Man or will he find her?

I like Adrienne she’s not perfect she’s a little special and she’s not perfect. She speaks like a real person not with perfect grammar which I think makes it easier to connect with her. She seems more human to me and that’s why my heart went out to her when the mean girls cursed her. At first I wasn’t sure about Jayden but he isn’t your typical jock his grandmother is crazy cutting off Adrienne’s ear lobe and calling her a white zombie but as we got to know him better I felt he really cared about Adrienne. I also like Rene I almost kind of like the idea of him and Adrienne but I like the gang guy who’s a good guy.

Cursed is a fast paced paranormal novel that captures the imagination and heart. I’ve only read a few books with Voodoo so the concept is still new and exciting with the authors own unique touches. The characters are memorable your drawn pulled into their lives connecting with them for the emotional ride. I liked all the characters they are well written with real personalities which I find refreshing. I think the author did a fantastic job creating an exciting concept that mixes romance, magic, suspense and the power of voodoo. The story is well written from start to finish it was hard to put down till the very end and all I want is to read the next one. This isn’t my first book by Lizzy Ford she continues to impress me with each book. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
