Celia Wird and her three sisters are just like other 20-something girls—with one tiny exception: they’re products of a backfired curse that has given each of them unique powers that make them, well, weird…
Celia’s a girl in trouble. Her heart is bound to Aric, but he is a pureblood were who must deny her or risk condemning his species to extinction. And that’s just her love life. She’s also been called to take down a group of demon terrorists looking to overthrow the paranormal world. (No pressure.)
In order to bring them down, Celia must ally herself to Misha, the master vampire who has made no secret of his desire for her.
And if that weren’t enough misfortune for one girl, a clairvoyant’s prediction could destroy Celia and Aric’s love for good. The only way to protect the world from unbridled supernatural terrorism is for Celia to bind herself to her destined mate. And that doesn’t appear to be Aric…

Jennifer’s Review of Cursed By Destiny
Review (5 Stars): In this book, Celia is still dealing with the heartbreak of losing Aric and has been staying as a platonic house guest with master vampire, Misha. After the events of A Cursed Embrace, Celia and her sisters have been worried about a possible retaliation from the supernatural Tribemasters that reeked havoc in their world. The only safe place for Celia is with Misha, even though her ex-boyfriend, Aric, isn’t happy with this living arrangement. What they soon find out is that something unspeakable is hunting Celia and wants her dead and will stop at nothing to make sure that happens. Even if it means destroying the people that she cares about along the way.
I LOVE this series and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Weird sisters. This book picks up right after the heart-wrenching ending of A Cursed Embrace which just about killed me. I still want to smack Aric over the head because he belongs with Celia and now is days away from marrying another woman to appease his Elders. Celia is such a wonderful character to me, strong, smart, loving and at times vulnerable. She is so good at protecting the people around her but can’t seem to find the same happiness that her sisters have found in the love department. Cecy Robson does a great job of portraying that emotional heartbreak and it makes me love Celia all the more.
Cursed By Destiny is an exciting installment to the already amazing Weird Sisters series. Cecy Robson has done a wonderful job creating this fascinating paranormal world that will make you fall in love with her characters and have you wanting more after finishing the last page of her books. If you haven’t read her books, you are missing out because this is an author to watch. Can’t wait to read the next book in her series and I’m sad to say it won’t be out soon enough for me.
Giveaway
I’m excited to give away a signed copy of CURSED BY DESTINY, a magnet, lip balm, and bookmark. This giveaway is for US Residents only. To be entered in the drawing by December 20th, answer me this question in the comments:
Who is your favorite literary or television vampire?
***Disclaimer: if you win this prize pack on another blog, another winner will be chosen***
There are way too many great literary vampires to pick my favorite so I’ll go with one of my favorite TV ones. Damien from the Vampire Diaries. Ian Somerholder plays that character to perfection.
My favorite vampire is Bones from Jeaniene Frost’s Night a Huntress series.
Barnabas Collins, Lestat, Jean-Claude (AB) top 3 🙂
Eric from True Blood series and books
Alec Royce from H&W Investigations series by Jess Haines.
Hmm, literary I’d have to go with Ethan from Chicagoland Vampires (sorry, Misha-maybe after a few more books!) and television, definitely Damon!!
My childhood favorite vampire would be Angel from the t.v. show ‘Buffy, the Vampire Slayer’ I was always into vampires since I was young and I’ve seen movies that didnt portray them well but when I first say David Boreanaz and Angel and he became my all time favorite. But now Ian Somerhalder is very close to become my favorite right now.
Zhadist from J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series!
My favorite television vampire is Rebecca from The Originals. Thank you for the giveaway!
I love Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Edward Cullen from Twilight. Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
Hmn… well, I love Klaus from TVD. I don’t like any of hte other characters.. just Klaus. lol. He is so dark and mysterious and misunderstood. and hot.
So far, my favorites are Stefan from the Mercy Thompson series or Vlad & Bones from the Night Prince/Huntress series 😀
That’s a tough one. Their are so many great vampires in TV and books. If I had to choose, I’d pick Wrath from BDB. The first time I read his book I fell madly in love with the Blind King. My other would be Lothaire cause he is a vampire both love and hate at times, lol.
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway and spotlight. I love this series and Misha is a pretty awesome vampire. I can’t wait to see what happens between Celia, Misha and Aric.
So excited to see your giveaway – I love the Weird Girls and *really* want this book! My favorite vampire, hands down, has always been and will always be The Vampire Lestat from Anne Rice’s New Orleans vampire series!! I read those books when they came out, and I immediately fell in love with the whole paranormal genre and, especially, vampires in literature!! I have also read Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and it’s a close second (the original, after all!), but Lestat still wins my vote. Thanks!
Spike from Buffy is my favorite television vampire (favorite overall!).
like Zsadist from the BDB series
I liked Klaus from TVD & Eric from TB. I have too many literary vampires to mention…..I can’t pick just one 🙂 Thank you for the chance to win.
Hi, Jennifer! Thank you for the wonderful feature and for being part of the tour! Hmm, I know I’m being biased, but I’m going to go with Misha Aleksandr as my favorite vamp. 😉
oh yes we must NOT forget Angel & Spike from Buffy
After reading the Weird Girl books I have to say Misha!!!! He is just too smooth and smoldering to dislike in any way. I love, love, love this character! 🙂
