Emoji Review by Rebecca Dixon
I read ‘Blood Oath,’ Book 1 of Cursed Legacies, by Morgan B Lee… and it is FANTASTIC! (FYI, I’m not affiliated with the author and there are NO spoilers! 🙌🏻)
OKAY folks 👏🏻, if you LOVED ❤️ Wednesday on Netflix (Addams family retelling!)… you are gonna LOVE 😍 this! The Wednesday vibes are STRONG 💪🏻 with this one (errr super tempted to end that with ‘young padawan’ 😅!) Anywho! Chapter 2 is when I was like OMG 😲… I FREAKING LOVE this Wednesday-like FMC and her Enid-like roommate 👏🏻👏🏻! And TRUST me… this is a COMPLIMENT 🤌🏻 💋 to the author. It’s apparent this lady loves the show like I do, and she really gives it a HUGE head nod in this book (while also having her own original creation 🙌🏻… this is NOT a retelling!) This book is absolutely FABULOUS with every dry 😑, emotionless quip from our FMC and every bubbly 🫧 , optimistic & completely endearing 🥰 response from her roomie. I absolutely loved each separately and their friendship together so, so adorable 😍🥰!
Okie dokie… now that I’ve covered that KEY 🔑 vibe… what is this story even about 🤔?! Well! This is a WHY CHOOSE… where the female FMC (aka Wednesday-like and again, ONLY in fantastic ways)… attends an academy 🏫 where her main goal is to lay low & have no one notice her 🫥 (as she’s trying to accomplish some mysterious goal.) However, in this world… QUINTET groupings are deemed by the Gods ⚡️during a ceremony where they sort of light up 💡 to identify each other and well… staying hidden 🙈 for long is just not in the cards for our gal! Enter ➡️ some freaking HOT 🥵 guys with different strengths (and curses 😵)… and she’s EVERYTHING they want! And really, they are PERFECT 🤩 for her too… but her mission 🥷 of mystery 🔪 just won’t allow her to indulge 😭. Let the cat 😽 and mouse 🐭 game commence with the clever 🤓 scheming, DRAMA 🎭 , and of course… angst 🔥! Winning over a Wednesday-like FMC… has never been so hard for these smokin’, HOT 🥵 MMCs 😆!
Really – I can’t say more or I’ll spoil it! But ✋🏻… I’ll just say this 🗣️: TWO of these guys I freaking LOVED 🥰 . Like, LOVED, LOVED 😍😍!!! ALL of the MMCs are great 👍🏻 , but two in particular (completely opposite from each other in personality, mind you!) WON me over… BIG TIME! And one of which I can honestly ✌🏻 say I’ve never READ a character like him before (and that’s saying something 🙌🏻)! Not only is his “creature/race” seldom written in paranormal romances… but he is so freaking UNIQUE and AWESOME 👏🏻 in the way that he STALKS 👀 her (yes, I said STALKS her… move over contemp romance stalkers, cause this guy is a whole OTHER level of stalking with his PNR skills 🙌🏻)! Dawww, I just LOVED him 👏🏻! Really, he’s a CRYPTic dream come true for any dark romance reader ❤️🔥!
So if you love a Why Choose where the FMC is STRONG 💪🏻 with a dark/dry 😐 sense of humor, the guys are all different creatures that are powerful 💥 and relentlessly chasing 🏃🏻 after our girl, some mystery 🔎 on what our BADASS 🤺 GIRL actually is and what her mission is all about… give this a shot! It’s free on KU and you never know, it may have awesome 🤩 Wednesday Addams vibes for you too!
