Cursed is a novel steeped in old South voodoo, curses, and the drama that comes with them. Seventeen year old Adrienne St. Croix has just moved to New Orleans to live with her dad. Adrienne practices voodoo and has the gift of being able to communicate with spirits. She moved to try to get some answers regarding her sister, Therese, who died in New Orleans 5 years ago. Very quickly, Adrienne finds that there is more to Therese's story than she ever imagined, encountering Rene and Jax - brothers that protect the streets at night as part of a voodoo gang, and Jayden - who she is instantly attracted to and has a family history of voodoo himself that he's been sheltered from thanks to his dad who has chosen to ignore it.I really enjoyed the book with the exception of the fact that in almost every scene with Rene, it is brought up that he's agang member. It felt unnecessary and over the top. It was appropriate to mention it occasionally, but I felt that it was exaggerated.That being said, if you have ever wanted to read a book steeped in the voodoo of New Orleans - bokers, priests, priestesses, etc... this is a fantastic read! I can't wait to read the next book!
