A Cursed Bloodline by Cecy Robson
4.0
I received this book as an ARC from netgalley and Random House for an honest review.
This was my first book by Cecy Robson, and of course my first Weird Girls book. Though I sometimes felt like I was missing tidbits of info because I hadn't read the earlier books, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a riveting, edge of your seat type book that kept me on my toes throughout. Though I didn't know the characters as well as someone that had followed this series from the beginning would, I quickly got a feel for the personalities. I did have a little trouble keeping everyone straight, such as who was whose mate, but again, I feel if I'd read the previous books, I would have been more in sync with this info. There's a very good chance that I'll go back and start at the beginning, this was such an enthralling story. There were three major arcs to the story from my point of view, making the story all the more interesting. There were also tons of secondary plots going on, but it all meshed well to create a cohesive tale. I would say that if someone is a fan of the Weird Girls, they should definitely pick up this title, but I don't think I'd recommend it as a starting point for the series or as a stand alone, unless you're not bothered by missing pieces that could be easily filled in by reading the previous books. Definitely worth the time.
