SYNOPSIS
Winx
is a daevor: a demon who can coerce people into killing themselves.
After using her powers to avenge her sister’s death, she’s
sentenced to have her wings severed and serve as a soldier. But Winx
refuses to play by the rules. She goes into hiding at a BDSM club in
Los Angeles where nobody would think to look for a deadly
daevor.
Keaton’s friends and family are under attack by savages–people who arise from death as soulless monsters. Winx is the only one with the power to defeat them, and Keaton is determined to harness her dark powers… no matter what it takes.
Cursed by Darkness is the first in an urban fantasy trilogy by Anna Sanders, available Fall 2012!

MY
TAKE
3
STARS
Cursed
by Darkness is the first book in the Befallen Tides series by
Anna Sanders. I was left with mixed feelings about this book.
The
Good:
I
really like the cover art for this book. It's what drew me into
reading the synopsis. The story itself is decent and promising.
Winx's character is fleshed out pretty well and I liked her.
The
Bad:
This
would have been a better story, maybe even a 4 star book had it been
better edited. There are several errors in grammar, punctuation,
etc... I noticed there were even random periods in the middle of
sentences. I think Keaton's character seemed a bit two dimensional
and there just wasn't any character building with him. One thing that
bugged me was the weird names for common supernatural beings. Daevors
are demons, Bandits are some form of werewolf, and Lixyn are
basically angels, Savages are zombies...why not just call them what they are?
Overall,
I liked the story, but with more editing it would have been much
better. Cursed by Darkness seems like a promising series. I
wish I could give it a higher rating, but the editing was very
lacking.
I
got this e-book through the LibraryThing Member Giveaway program in
exchange for an honest review.
