Blog Tour; Review, Giveaway and Guest Post: A Cursed Awakened by Cecy Robson

I am so very excited to be a part of the blog tour for Curse Awakened. The Weird Girls series is by far one of my most favorite UF series and I just adore Cecy. Not only is her writing phenomenal but she is a serious sweetheart as well. 

When I was offered the chance to host a guest post from her, I jumped.

Book Description:
Discover Cecy Robson’s sensational Weird Girls series—or return to where the magic first began—with this eBook original prequel novella about four sisters coming to grips with their unique supernatural powers.

Celia Wird shouldn’t possess the ability to transform into a tigress. Her three sisters should never be able to burst into flames, heal wounds, or transform common objects into deadly weapons. And yet they do.

Before they were born, the Wird Sisters were cursed by a spell that was intended to destroy them, not endow them with extraordinary powers. The sisters’ magic is untamed and explosive at best, and time is running out for them to take command.


Vampires have targeted Celia’s sweet, tragically human ex-boyfriend Danny. The sisters rush to his aid, but in order to take down the vamps, first they must face their dark past and break a spell that’s screwing up their powers. Except this curse wasn’t meant to be broken . . . and the witch who cast it isn’t done toying with them yet.

Excerpt

(from Chapter One)

“Um, Celia, you said what you and Danny had was ‘sweet.’”

I continued to fiddle with the sticky lock, trying to pull the key out without breaking it. “That’s right.”

“Well, forgive me for being nosy, but didn’t you and he . . .”

I withdrew the key, blushing a little, though it was probably hard for others to tell given my olive skin tone. Sex with Danny had consisted of awkward hand movements and one or two thrusts. Not exactly the stuff of bedroom legends. In all fairness, that was almost seven years ago, back when I was seventeen, he was nineteen, and neither of us had any experience. “We did, but it’s not like it was love or anything.”

Emme didn’t seem to understand, mostly because she still had her heart set on happily-ever-afters. “Then why did you do it?”

“I thought it was time.” I walked down the two little wooden steps. “It was a stupid reason, but I’m glad it was him. He was good to me. He was good to all of us.”

I must have spoken loud enough for Taran and Shayna to hear. Taran knitted her dark brows, drawing attention to her startling blue eyes. “He was, until he dumped you when he left for Stanford. Damn it, Ceel. I’m still pissed at him for that. I mean, you were totally Bambi. Danny? Hell, he was a walking Bullwinkle at best.”


I opened my mouth to argue, but Taran was sort of right. Danny was a lot of things: adorable, kind, and smart enough to get into Stanford for biochemistry. And it still hadn’t been enough. He wasn’t strong, physically or emotionally, not really. My weight topped out at a little over a hundred pounds, yet I could knock his lanky frame and a few linebackers on their asses. In Danny’s defense, he didn’t possess the inner beast I did. But maybe that was my problem. I was too Hulk and he was too human.

I absolutely adore this series and the very fact that Ms. Robson gave us this much appreciated look into the sister's lives before the beginning of book one, is a huge testament to not only how wonderful a writer she is but what an awesome series this is. This is a must read for any fan. There is just so much more in this than you could have asked for or hoped for. 

I loved learning more about the girl's relationship with Danny and just how far back it goes. Not only that but we get a very small background on his family as well as how he got involved in all the paranormal stuff that we later learn he researches so well and knows about. What he was like in college, which lets face it, was pretty fabulous to get. And if that wasn't enough, we get the girls background on their strange and kooky powers and their even stranger and mysterious family life before the opening of book one. 

I won't go into too much detail but this was a fabulous addition to the series and one that I am so happy Robson gave us. There was a lot packed into this tiny little story and it makes me even more excited for A Cursed Boodline.
