Cursed (Wichbane Book 8) by Morgan Brice; Narrated by Kale Williams


The same duo on the hunt for witch-disciples—still interesting even in the eighth volume.


From the blurb:

Seth Tanner and Evan Malone head to Savannah, Georgia, to hunt the seventh of the coven members responsible for the death of Seth's brother and so many other victims over the past hundred years.

Seth and Evan fell in love when Seth rescued Evan from one of the dark witches, and they went on the road together to stop the murders. Their relationship is new and intense, growing deeper with the danger, giving them both a reason to survive and gain vengeance.

Sterling Vernon is a prominent restaurateur with a thriving array of businesses, and he's also the seventh witch-disciple with a new victim in his sights. His reputation and wealth protect him, and his dark magic enables him to evade consequences. Vernon needs to work his ritual to replenish his power soon, and that requires a new sacrifice.

Paxton Miller is Vernon's next intended victim. When Vernon puts a killing curse on Evan to force a confrontation with Seth, it's going to take all of Seth's courage and cleverness, as well as help from their friends with supernatural abilities, to save Evan and Paxton and stop Vernon once and for all.

Contains mature themes.


Lesetiger's review:

"Cursed" is the eighth volume in the paranormal "Witchbane" series, which I recommend reading in order.

The writing style is good, and the story is told alternately from the perspectives of the two protagonists.

Evan and Seth are on their way to their next mission. The two are on the hunt for the next witch-disciple they’ve tracked down. The trail of Sterling Vernon they’re following leads them to Savannah.

As in the previous books, readers accompany a couple they’ve come to love on their latest adventures. But even after seven previous books, I’m still on the edge of my seat as they battle evil. And of course, there’s no shortage of support from both familiar characters and new ones they’re just getting to know. And it’s not just the enemies who are learning to protect themselves better—the hunters, too, have to keep learning more and more.

I, for one, love the range of diverse protagonists as well as the loving relationship and open communication between Seth and Evan.

And this time, Morgan Brice impresses with a somewhat unexpected—but by no means uninteresting—plot twist that I really enjoyed.

As always, Kale Williams’s narration is absolutely outstanding. He gives the protagonists fitting voices, reads with variety, conveys emotions fantastically, and maintains a very high level of suspense throughout.


Cursed is currently available as an audiobook, e-book and paperback
