“ARC given via Net Galley”
For centuries the gods have waited—for the betrayal that will release them, for the traitors who will defend them, for the warrior who will challenge them. Now at long last the gate between the human and spirit worlds is open, and with it, an army of vengeful demons poised to swarm the earth. Only the Curse Keepers, Ellie Lancaster and Collin Dailey, can stop it…if they can break free from a tangled web of treachery, jealousy, and lies.
Torn between two men—her heart belongs to David, yet her soul is bound to Collin’s—Ellie no longer knows who she can trust. Demons slipping through the gate are leaving a trail of bodies in their wake, each death a chilling reminder of the power of the ancient spirits to bring humanity to its knees. Faced with an unimaginable future, Ellie realizes the time has come to turn her back on prophecy and choose her own destiny—even if it means defying the gods themselves.
In the thrilling conclusion to the Curse Keepers trilogy, humanity faces its final battle for survival!
First sentences
“I felt the demon before I saw it. The mark on my palm tingled slightly, and the tattoo on my back began to burn”
My Thoughts
I loved the previous book and was super excited to begin reading this one. This book continues Ellie’s journey of fighting the gods and her job as the curse keeper. I felt that Ellie had really matured and grown up a lot throughout this book. We learnt more about Collin’s history as well as David’s friends. Slowly we are finding out more and more about the Ricardo Estate and knowing more about Ellie’s past and she finally remembers the memories that she had forgotten.
Although, I would have liked Claire to have been more significant in the story. I think it would have given the book a little more dynamics. Even though the ending was predictable I still ate it all up. I can’t wait for more!
