Come to me, Empress …
It was supposed to be a simple magic quest, one that would get a witch like me accepted into Henbane Coven. I was never supposed to survive a plane crash, nor was I supposed to discover an ancient tomb and the beautiful, sleeping man trapped inside it.
I knew you would come, my queen. I knew it wasn’t true. It couldn’t be. A love like ours defies everything. I am yours forever …
I definitely wasn’t supposed to wake Memnon the Cursed.I probably shouldn’t have kissed him either.Oops.
You were my everything, and you betrayed me …
Now I fear I’ve unleashed an ancient evil on the world, one who has set his wicked sights on me. And despite his good looks and the beguiling pull of his magic, this terrifying, supernatural man thinks I’m some long-dead wife who betrayed him, and as payback, he’s determined to take every last thing I care about from me—my heart included.
Unless I stop him first.
Bewitched is the first book in the NA Paranormal Romance trilogy by Laura Thalassa.

I loved the author’s Bargainer and Four Horseman series, so I quickly jumped on this ARC as soon as I saw it was available on NetGalley.  I wasn’t disappointed.

This paranormal romance has an anti-hero that I often times wanted to do bodily harm to as often as I wanted to love him.  Memnom has some issues…specifically with poor unsuspecting Selene.  Selene, unfortunately, releases Memnon from the curse keeping him entombed and then has to deal with him popping up and wreaking havoc with the life she’s trying to build in her new coven.  Sadly, Selene joining the coven coincides with bad things happening, putting her in the middle of that along with Memnon’s shenanigans.

Selene has a lot on her plate and the drama with Memnon tends to tip her over the edge.  But she never truly lets that beat her down, even when it seems like it will.  She has a fight in her that has her standing up to the biggest obstacles and I think as we move onto the next book in the series, it’s clear Memnon is going to be the biggest one.

The following two tabs change content below.
I am a lover of alpha males with dirty mouths, strong heroines putting alpha males in their place, and the Chicago Blackhawks. I'm a proud hockey mom who can often be found at the hockey rink cheering on my favorite forward, with my kindle close by.
