Angus is the second book in The Cursed Clan series about  a clan cursed to escape death unless they can recover missing objects and make amends . Each member of the clan will be tested and this time it's the turn of the indomitable Angus. He's a man of science and has no time for magic and mystical goings on but he's about to take a crash course in dealing with witches!Angus needs to recover a missing emerald but in order to do that he has to follow instructions set down in an old diary. He needs a witch to help him take the emerald back and everything points to Maggie who is trying to hide from her past. Angus tracks Maggie down but things are not quite what he expected as not only does he feel a connection to her but she's been hiding a secret. This secret is four years old and goes by the name of Jack and is her son! When Maggie and Jack are attacked she agrees to accompany Angus back to Scotland but Maggie hasn't exactly been upfront with Angus. Maggie's past and Angus's mission are set to collide and it's a bumpy ride!I love the way this author writes and gives these guys an authentic sounding brogue but unfortunately this time I found a few lines that just didn't flow as well as usual and really wish it had spent a little longer being edited. It didn't ruin the book completely but it did sort of jar me out of the fantasy a couple of times. Having said that I thought we got a lot better story this time round as in the previous book "Callum" there wasn't really a lot of magic or paranormal really happening. Angus is the least likely of these guys to happily accept magic so it was fun seeing him come to terms with everything.Maggie is a strong character who has made choices that whilst hard she has learned to live with , she's a survivor. My favourite character has to be Jack who has such gravitas  at such a young age! He's an amazing supporting character and I hope we see more of him in future books.This felt like a paranormal read although I didn't quite feel the love angle . The couple are destined to be together but it just seemed a little quick to me. The Curse is still a little vague in it's origin as the author continues to tease the reader with snippets from the past but we are certainly getting closer to the crux of the story and it's a fun journey.
