I am very excited today to be hosting A Cursed Embrace Blog Tour with our special guest, Cecy Robson. The Weird Girls series is a wonderful series and I hope you all check it out.
1. Tell us a little bit about your new release A CURSED EMBRACE
A CURSED EMBRACE is the story of love, and exploding demons―I’m deadly serious. The demons have found a way to cross into our world and remain among us. This novel also delves into Celia’s relationship with Aric, a pureblood werewolf. While the action and humor found in SEALED WITH A CURSE remains, A CURSED EMBRACE is more of an emotional roller coaster.
2. Where did you come up with the idea for the Weird Girls?
My weird girls originally developed from a dream about four commando-type girls, and one who has a vision about their boyfriends being in trouble. I know nothing about the military, but I liked the idea of the girls having powers. My imagination took it from there. Since the girls were so different, they needed a bond. So I made them sisters.
3. The sisters are nurses. Did you always plan for them to be nurses or was there another career in mind?
The sisters have always been ostracized by the human world, and have really only ever had each other to rely on. I wanted to give them careers where they could realistically work near each other in case something went wrong. And believe me, “something” goes wrong all the time. Nursing provides the perfect opportunity for the sisters to stay close to each other while giving them their own specialty to fit their personalities.
4. How many books do you plan for this series?
I have eight, already planned for Celia, two for Taran and Emme each, and one for Shayna. I also have two spin-off series planned. There could also be more, depending on how well the novels are received.
I have my Old Erth series, a high fantasy romance on submission. I’m also currently working on a magical, post-apocalyptic New Adult novel tentatively titled The Falcon Series.
Of course! I’d love to have Emmy Rossum play Celia, Emmanuelle Chriqui for Taran, Lily Collins as Shayna, and Dianna Agron would make a great Emme. I’d also love to see Alex Pettyfer portray Aric, and Taylor Kitsch would make a fantastic Misha.
Water, hot green tea, and anything crunchy―I love blueberries to munch on and also walnuts!
8. What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
To keep writing, no matter what you hear, or how discouraged you feel. A lot of people will tell you no. And some “no’s” will feel like emotional gut punches to your soul. All it takes is one yes to launch a career.
9. Favorite type of Pizza?
Margarita!
Thank you so much for being here today and I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy to answer my questions.
Thank you for having me, Jennifer, you’ve been so wonderful!

Jennifer’s Review of A Cursed Embrace
TITLE: A Cursed Embrace
SERIES #: The Weird Sisters #2
CHARACTERS: Celia Wird, Aric & Misha
AUTHOR: Cecy Robson
PUBLICATION DATE: 07/02/13
BOOK SYNOPSIS: Celia Wird and her three sisters are just like other twenty-something girls–with one tiny exception: They are the products of a curse that backfired and gave each of them unique powers that made them, well, a little weird…
After Celia Wird and her sisters help master vampire Misha save his family, their powers are exposed to the supernatural community of the Lake Tahoe region. But fame comes at a price, and being “weird” isn’t always welcome.
To make matters worse, Celia desires the love of Alpha werewolf Aric, but his pack is bent on destroying their relationship to preserve his pureblood status. And once weres start turning up dead–with evidence pointing to the vampires–she must face the prospect of losing Aric forever. But the chaos only masks a new threat. An evil know as the Tribe has risen–and their sights are set on Celia and her sisters.
REVIEW PROVIDED BY: Jennifer NUMBER OF STARS: Four Stars
REVIEW: I had been waiting patiently for A Cursed Embrace after reading Sealed with a Curse last year and I have to say that this book put me on the edge of my seat. There is a mysterious force at work in Lake Tahoe that is killing young men and disappearing with young women. Celia and her sisters find that demons are involved in the rash of missing persons and now they are targeting the local weres. I am continually amazed at how Cecy Robson creates such an intricate storyline that has you wondering how this is all going to end and will make you desperately want the next book in the series immediately.
I love Celia and Aric together and in this book, they finally act on the feelings that they have for each other and I enjoyed watching their relationship slowly develop. Since Aric is the Alpha, being with Celia causes issues amongst his pack and there were times in this book that my heart was breaking for her because he couldn’t admit his true feelings for her.
Celia, to me, is a true heroine because not only is she strong and smart but will do everything in her power to protect the people that she loves even it means possibly losing her life in the process. Her relationship with her sisters is absolutely amazing and I just love how they take care of each other in the good times and when things are bad for one of them.
The ending of this book just about killed me and I had tears running down my face by the very last page. The storyline for this book is very intense and at times hard to stomach so please be prepared going in. Even though the subject matter isn’t light, it is well worth the roller coaster ride of emotions. A Cursed Embrace is action-packed from the very beginning and it proves that the Weird Sisters are a force to be reckoned with in the paranormal genre. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series, Cursed by Destiny, which is out next year.

I prefer werewolves although I like vampires too. I think I just like the thought of a warm body over a cold one! LOL!
Vampires!! Although I’m just now starting to like werewolves, not a lot of books have them yet so I’m still learning to love them.
That’s a tough question. I like them both for different reasons!
I’m more of a werewolf type of gal, but I do love my vampires! Thank you for stopping by and many thanks to Jennifer and Books-N-Kisses for having me!
Vampires. They are immortal and only have one painful transformation. They are usually loners not a part of a pack.
I don’t have a choice, as long as the story fits I enjoy both.
It’s a toss up between the two; I read I would say evenly when it comes to paranormal books!
I love my Vampires, but always have a soft spot for werewolves!
Vampires if I must pick. They are very protective and hard to kill.
Werewolves, as stated previously I like a warm body to cuddle. I also am big about family so the idea of pack appeals to me. Plus werewolves are usually hunky, built and bada** so what’s not to love.
I would prefer to have one of each, but if I had to pick at the moment it would be werewolves.
Do we really have to pick just one?? Aww man! Okay, I’d pick werewolves, I my man a little hairy and animalistic! Thanks for the chance to win!
Werewolves are my absolute favorite but I love them both
Werewolves are my absolute favorite but I love them both.Weres are just so strong feircely protective and loyal
I like both paranormal species but I have to give my vote for the vampires. Thanks for the giveaway.
wolves!!
I like to read about both but if I had to choose I’d pick wolves.
Thanks 🙂

I like both, but vampires win the top spot because they’re mysterious, compelling, immortal, and all kinds of sexy. 😀
werewolves because they’re alpha
werewolves! They are more down to earth and emotional 🙂
Vampires, there is something sexy that I can never avoid. But werewolves I like a lot too.
I like them both, but werewolves al little more. They are protective, possessive, and warm.
Werewolves, because I like the whole pack thing, and how they’re like a family.
I love vampires the best. I think they are so hot. I also like werewolves.
Vampires–power, longevity, mystique…they have it all.
Vampires, because they’re so sexy (and so tormented, which I always like!
I think it depends. I love vampires. I always have. They are sexy and strong. Lately though I have begun to appreciate werewolves. The ability to shift shape is awesome.
Vampires… Don’t have to deal with flea dips…lmao! 😉
I love Vampires but lately have enjoyed more wolf books
