Fans of the Weird Girls series are going to love the glimpse back offered in A Curse Awakened by Cecy Robson. We travel back to the time right before the sister’s headed for Tahoe. We learn how they break the binding spell that is messing with their abilities. Action-packed, A Curse Awakened is filled with humor and danger as it answers questions about the girls’ powers and introduces them to the supernatural world.

Through Celia’s narrative, we learn about the sisters’ curse, their parent’s deaths and meet Danny. Danny, Celia’s ex-boyfriend, is in serious trouble with a group of vampires, and the girls decide to help. First, they need full control of their powers, and Danny may be able to help them. The tale that unfolds had me consuming it in one breathless, hilarious sitting.

Robson delighted me with the sister’s banter and snark in A Cursed Awakened. I love how genuine the girls are as they attempt to free themselves and help Danny. Seeing them fight with their abilities before and after the binding was awesome and hilarious. Robson explained each of their powers, and we witnessed the changes in those abilities. I The focus here is truly on the sisters, so there is no romance and all of that lovely drama, but it was so refreshing. While this is a novella, Robson proves once again that she is a master storyteller regardless of the length. Fans of the series will gobble this up and be eager to dive back in with the next release, A Curse Bloodline releasing November 18, 2014. This Weird Girl fan cannot wait!
