The Cursed (Coven of Bones Book 2) by Harper L. Woods, Adelaide Forrest

5.0

The Cursed by Harper L. Woods
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"We had centuries together—an eternity for me to worship every part of her."

“Let’s get one thing clear, Witchling. I am not jealous. I am possessive over what is mine.”

"For her, I'd spend my life on my knees if she asked it of me."

"Fuck the balance. I'll watch the world burn before I allow it to force you into something you do not want," he said."

I absolutely love a MMC who is possessive, has touch her and 💀 vibes, but still treats her as his equal. Alaric Gray is all of these and so much more. Knowing he doesn't always have to swoop in and save Willow, allowing her to fight her own battles just makes him top tier. I feel like in a lot of the books I've read once the FMC and MMC get together she just becomes a damsel in distress. That is not the case with The Cursed and it makes me love the book even more. 

In The Cursed we continue on our story at Crystal Hollow. As Willow and Gray navigate their new relationship, they must also navigate Willow's new role as Covenant. If you loved the steamy scenes in The Coven, I am here to tell you they are even better in The Cursed. HOLY SPICE- The buildup and writing of these scenes is phenomenal. 🥵🤤 I also want to mention how much I LOVED Jonathan in this book. If you enjoy touch her and 💀, political intrigue, enemies to lovers, possessive MMC, dark academia, and spice this book is for you. Please read trigger warnings before diving into the world of Crystal Hollow.
