S.A. Archer's Cursed is the first book in Touched, one of three story arcs in The Sidhe series.This novel was a bit more "paranormal romance" and had more "suggestive scenes" than what I would normally read... so, erm, there's that.But there were enough plot twists and strong action sequences to balance out the romantic elements. I also read and enjoyed End of the World and Aftershock and was looking forward to reading the next installment in the series.Despite the fact that Cursed is a novella, Archer does a good job of illustrating the world London lives in without over doing it or describing too much and somehow still giving the the reader enough information to paint their own mental image.London was likable enough and she wasn't too unbelievable, despite being what I would call a "tough" character. I will admit that she is a bit typical of urban fantasy characters (ie. - private detective specializing in all things supernatural) there was still an element of vulnerability in London's personality that allowed the reader connect with her. Both London and Selena were interesting enough to make me want to pick up the next book.What I love most about the series as a whole is that the novellas are short enough to read during a lunch break, but interesting enough for you to sit in one spot for an hour and read them all.
