I need cookies and maybe even a xanax after reading Midnight Dynasty, Act I: Malediction, seriously. Spectacularly written with a sense of foreboding that had my stomach in knots - I loved it! After reading all of the previous novels in this series and loving them, I was thrilled to be able to read more about the Deschanel's. I love this tight knit, magically gifted family. And this time it's all about the Deschanel curse - yay! - it's back and ready to take down some beloved family members.It was awesome to delve back into the Deschanel family, while I've loved the fantastical elements that have taken over the last two novels, I really love this family and it was nice to have the focus be entirely on them. It was also pretty great learning more about the curse itself and how the curse came to be.I loved that the story was told from multiple points of view, with a tiny bit from Elizabeth and some from Colleen. The best was Tristan and Amelia though, I really like these two, they might actually be my favorites of all of the characters so far.  I adore Tristan and really loved being in his head. The surprise character that stole the story for me though was Amelia, I really like her. And I love and freaking adore her relationship with her long time boyfriend Jacob. Jacob is awesome, really really awesome. Oh, the cuteness with these two.This book does end on a killer cliffhanger and the only thing that is keeping me from completely losing my mind over that ending, is that the next installment will be coming along very soon. I love this series BIG TIME and can not wait to see what is going to happen next. I need more of these characters. I am also rooting for a certain couple to get a very happy ending, we'll see what happens. Either way I can't wait to see if this curse will take everything or if maybe, just maybe, this amazing family can kick this curse in the teeth and move beautifully forward in life.I do want to say though, if you haven't been reading the series then you need to go back and do so before reading this book. The storyline of the series is big, with a huge cast of characters and should definitely be read in order.For everyone else, go grab this gem and read it. It's awesome!Complimentary copy provided for an honest review.Originally posted on Me, Myself & Books
