Betrayal.
He was the deception waiting in the night; the truth I never saw coming. After a lifetime of manipulation, I finally learned the truth. I was his puppet—even if I never saw my strings.
Even knowing how deep his betrayal runs, I can’t shake the undeniable connection between Gray and I—the way a single glance from him sets my soul on fire. We are not the same. We’re enemies, poised to battle for the future of the very thing I’d wanted to destroy.
With the Covenant gone, the revenge I thought I wanted is no longer my priority. The witches that remain played no role in my aunt’s death, and the only person standing in the way of righting those wrongs is the very man determined to keep me in his bed.
But the remaining members of the Coven will never forgive me for the role I played in their demise and subjugation, and the worst part of all is that I can’t even blame them for it. I’d been naive, believing my own delusions of grandeur when destiny clearly had other plans for me. Plans that had been set in motion centuries before my birth.
But even that had been a lie, and now it is my duty to do everything in my power to undo it.
To protect my Coven from my husband’s hatred—no matter what the cost.
I am not ready for Willow and Gray’s story to come to an end. The Cursed was every bit as dark, witchy, and spicy as I expected and I loved each malicious moment of it.
I love me a good villain redemption arc, even more so some morally gray characters who do terrible things for the greater good. Willow and Gray embody these perfectly. Gray’s willingness to do right by Willow was everything in The Cursed and I was really happy with their ending.
With the ending though, I felt like there could have been more added. The big “oh crap” moment seemed to happen really quickly. There could have been 5 more chapters to extend it out a little more or build up to it and I would have happily read them. Otherwise, it was a wonderful conclusion to Willow and Gray’s story and I am super excited to see where Harper L. Woods takes us in future books.
