A review by thepaperbackcompany
Cursed Fates by Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

3.0

The whole series has been a 5 star read. Very addictive and extreme. But that was until book five and they started acting a bit too much like animals. Well, i know they are not humans. They are fae and they have their own animal orders but still. It was a major turn off for me. I am trying to forget that part of the story cause I don't want it to ruin the rest of it. Call me old fashioned or conservative or whatever, that threesome Darius and Caleb played with Tory was so disgusting, weird, illogical and unnecessary. I expected more from their huge plans to bring torydarius back. The heirs always disappoint me with their plans. Idk how they believe they are gonna change the kingdom for better. So foolish. They have half a brain cell and the four are sharing it. Like they planned so freaking much for Tory and Darius to be together and they planned a freaking threesome. And Darius said yes to it. You are supposed to be a dragon with a lot of possessiveness. And the same with Tory. wtf is wrong with her brain and it's capability to make better decisions. Caleb was just so enjoying it. Jerk! I am mentally scarred rn. They could have used the time there to talk and sort out things between them. But no let's have some steamy porn level blindfolded sex. 

And yeah, the mates written by stars thing feels like some bullshit theory for having a person you are destined to have mad sex with.
Is that supposed to be like that or did I just misinterpret? I heard about stars and mates, and without much thought connected it to love. I don't feel there’s any love between Tory and Darius at all. More like a lot of lust and hunger for each others' bodies. Thinking of that, every relationship in this story is based on lust. Lance and Darcy may have touched some other grounds but still they do come under my scrutiny. I do feel great about how the author unapologetically wrote them like the animals they are, even tho i don't like it. That's kinda brilliant and stupid at the same time. 

I didn’t dnf it at this point. I read till the court case and what finally made me break is the miscommunication “i will take the fall for you” shit between Darcy and Lance.

The story might have taken a turn to the better and I wouldn’t know. So, i am not totally qualified to give a review on the series, but yeah i hated the threesome so here it is!
