Guest Review: Demon’s Curse – Alexa Egan

A fast-paced and captivating debut—the first in the dark and sexy Imnada Brotherhood series about shape shifters in Regency-era England.

A rising star on the Covent Garden stage, Bianca Parrino believes she has everything she wants. Independence. Wealth. And a life finally free of her violent, abusive husband. But when her close friend, Adam, is murdered, and Bianca is suspected in his death, she is unwittingly drawn into the search for his killer, and soon must question everything she believes—about her friend, about herself, and about a world she never knew existed.

A member of the mysterious race of shape-shifting Imnada and part of an elite military unit, Captain Mac Flannery gathered intelligence during the Napoleonic wars. As a result of a savage massacre, Mac and the men he served with are cursed. Now one of them has been found murdered, and Mac suspects the existence of the Imnada has been discovered at last. His only link to unearthing the truth is the beautiful actress who turns up unexpectedly at Adam’s funeral.

Before long, Mac has more to contend with than Bianca’s overt mistrust, his ill-fated attraction to the haughty and beautiful actress, and his ongoing search for an end to the curse. Because Adam’s killer is back, and Mac is next on his list.

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

With a historical setting, the first installment in this shifter series by Alexa Egan was absolutely fascinating!  I love that there are not only shifters, but fey as well.  I love that she has painted a brilliant world with an unforgettable cast of characters.  I love the intense suspense and the beautiful romance.  I love the extremely steamy and sexy scenes between our hero and heroine.

Bianca and Mac are the two main characters in the story.  Bianca is strong, confident and determined.  Mac is funny, sexy (he’s a panther… hello!), protective and sweet.  Their romance is red hot and has just enough drama to keep you hoping they find their HEA.  Some of the secondary characters in the book are wonderful, and I sincerely hope that they find their way into future books with their own journeys to happiness.

Paranormal fans out there do yourselves a huge favor and pick this up.  I promise, you will not be disappointed!
