I’m Charley Underwood. I run the best bar in Crimson, Georgia… when I’m not kicking demons and vampire thugs out of town.
A local witch has been murdered. Even worse, it looks like the killer stole her magic, draining it away in a bloody ritual.
Who would play with the darkest kind of magic like this? And what are they planning to do with the power they took?
When the killer targets my mentor Candy, and the dangerous trove of enchanted objects in her shop, it’s time to gather Crimson’s witches and prepare for war.
But as we plan our response, I can’t shake the feeling that the others are hiding something from me. Could these attacks be connected to my mother’s magic? And her mysterious death two years ago?
Nothing will stop me from digging up the truth. Because this isn’t just personal. It’s family.
I enjoyed Bloodlust Curse, the third installment in the Charley Underwood series, but I didn't love it as much as book two, which remains my favourite in the series so far. I think the plot in this volume didn't capture my interest quite as much. That said, we did get some interesting progression for a number of the characters, finding out more about their backgrounds and powers, and there is clearly still a lot to explore as the series continues. There was plenty of action and tension in this volume, but I found the denouement a little fast and anti-climatic after all the build-up; the victory just felt a bit too easy. Nonetheless, this was still an entertaining read and I remain keen to continue reading in book four when it releases. I am giving this third book four stars.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
