Review : The Curse Keepers (The Curse Keeper #1) by Denise Grover Swank (PNR/UF)


Book Blurb

The wall between our world and that of vengeful spirits has protected humanity for more than 400 years. It’s about to come crashing down.

Ellie Lancaster has lived her whole life by the site of the mysterious Lost Colony of Roanoke, the Virginia settlement that vanished without a trace around 1590. Only the descendants of the two men who banished the spirits of an enemy tribe from the material realm know what really happened to the colony. Ellie is one of those descendants—a Curse Keeper. Her father took pains to teach her what he knew of the curse and the responsibilities of its guardians. He taught her that if the two Curse Keepers ever meet, the curse will be lifted, the gate will open, and the raging Native American spirits will be unleashed to seek their revenge.

Despite her father’s seriousness, Ellie has always taken the legend for a harmless fairy tale. Until she meets the darkly handsome, but downright infuriating, Collin Dailey and realizes everything she was told is true. For when they meet, it’s like the air is sucked from the room. Collin’s presence is electrifying… and it’s not just attraction Ellie feels, but the inexorable pull toward her destiny. The prophecy is real, and now Ellie and Collin must battle supernatural forces and their loathing—and passion—for each other to set things right.

The Curse Keepers are all that stand between the world and its destruction.

Toot's Review by Stephanie Silva

There is something quite special about you. You have known it all your life but when destiny decided to crush your family, denial sounds like the best course of action. I am Ellie Lancaster and I chose not to be a Curse Keeper.

The legends say that the Colony of Roanoke vanished one day. No one knows the reason and some even speculate that maybe it just never existed but the Curse Keepers and their descendants know that a curse was made and that it should be kept in order to protect the world from the spirits that were banished when the Colony disappeared.

Old stories to scare little ones. That is what you are forced herself to believe but destiny had its own plans when it threw Collin Dailey into your life.

With a little touch the curse was broken and the world put into danger. The Long Lost Colony was suddenly found and the signs that announce the END start to appear. Evil spirits threated to come back and seek revenge. Your loved ones are being targeted and two of the instruments to end this nightmare are out of your reach. If only you had listened well to what your father told you…if one your listened…

The curse must be restored but for that to happen a price shall be paid but…

Are you willing to pay it?

What are your willing to give…?
