Cecy Robson's A Cursed Moon was as fantastic as all the reviews I read said it was! This short little read is an action packed adventure and not one to be missed if you're a fan of the Weird Girls series!Taking place after A Cursed Embrace, we know that Celia and Aric are no longer a couple. But this novella isn't about Celia and her relationship problems, we finally get to meet Bren in totality. True, we know Brean is the Wird sisters' best friend and werewolf brother--by friendship--but in this novella we really get a glimpse at his true self in all his sarcastic glory! I love Bren! He is such a riot and says whatever he thinks is best...which is usually something to piss Aric off or make Celia mad for a fraction of a minute.Here we get a nice case of evil ghosties. Yes, ghosties, because I am feeling jovial this morning! These ghosts are pretty bad ass, along the lines of being La Llorona--remember that woman in white that killed her children and then herself? That was Supernatural episode 1 too! Well, she's here in this one too, but she's not necessarily our main villain. That comes with the Ciguapas. They're a creepy bunch too and were a totally new to me supernatural type!Bren enlists Celie's help when their best friend Dan is kidnapped by one of these ghouls. Soon it becomes a race against the clock to rescue Dan before he meets his maker. It was quite the heart racing read!It's not exactly necessary to read this one before Cursed by Destiny--I figure since that hasn't released yet--but there is a moment or two that might have a pretty impact on the characters in the next novel. So to be prepared for that and to know the details behind a probable moment or two, then you should definitely read this! Plus, it's Bren and Bren is freaking hilarious!Overall Rating 5/5 stars
