Cursed by Fire by Danielle Annett

*I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.*

It has been six years since the Awakening, and peace in Spokane, Washington is still tenuous at best. The vampires and shifters are all vying for control of the city and the humans seem to be the ones suffering the consequences, or so it seems. Aria Naveed has spent the last two years of her life fighting to make the many wrongs of the world right, but soon finds out that the humans aren't as weak as they appear and may be a more terrifying foe than any of the other races combined. When a stranger rolls into town with trouble on his heels, Aria finds herself trapped in the middle of a battle that could cost her more than she has bargained for as a fight for justice turns into an unexpected fight for her life.

MY THOUGHTS

When I listen to an audiobook, obviously the first thing I pay attention to is the narrator. Nicole Poole changes her voice between characters decently, but I often found her to be a little flat emotionally and even a little monotone at times.

The story was good with a wide variety of supernaturals. The focus in this one is shifters and vampires and so far, I’m team shifter. Aria is smart and tough. I like James a lot, but I will need to see more of Declan to decide on him.

The romance aspect had a few different options so there was no closure in that department. The book didn’t end in a cliffhanger, but it was very open ended with no resolution. Aria’s story is FAR from finished.
