Five stories on supernatural curses.
Including five kick-ass women.
With five unique powers.
On five different worlds.

Skin Cursed
Eight hours after being infected, they can control your mind. After eighteen, your life is over… Scope Agent Rye is in the fight of her life. Infected with the deadly Morillo virus, she has eight hours to get it out of her system or she’ll become submissive to another forever—and the only person she can turn to has already betrayed her once.

Blood Cursed
Pacifist Delia owes much to her friends in the alternate world of Kelm. When someone poisons the Tacium that keeps them alive, she must find the culprit and stop the vicious disease in three days…or it will wipe out the entire population. With millions of lives on the line, and the disease spreading like a rising tide, can she get her pacifist family to help save her immortal friends?

Cursed in Sunlight
Leah and her partner Xavier have won big at cards, but their chance for an even bigger prize goes down the drain when their winnings are stolen. To retrieve the cash, they must embark on a dangerous journey to Cave Town where they risk being cursed forever if they’re not out in 24 hours.


Cursed Breath
Every year thousands of people go missing. Coalition Agent Kerry and her team have tracked them to an alternate universe but an unexplainable sickness attacks them, draining everyone’s energy. To save her team, as well as the captives, and to prevent future abductions, Kerry must face an enemy she thought long dead.


Cursed Succubus
Kia’s life depends on her finding the fifth soulbar, a powerful object coveted by the First Families. They must never know she touched it, draining some of its immense power before losing it or the punishment will be extreme. But the First Families aren’t the only ones desperate for the soulbar’s power…an old enemy of Kia’s wants it for himself and she’s the only thing standing in his way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Continuation of book 1
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019
I liked the continuation of these characters stories from the first book with a different theme. I liked them and found them interesting. I do enjoy magic in reading and this does not disappoint. I recommend reading book 1 first. I received an ARC from the author. I am leaving this honest review because I choose to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting stories
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2017
This is the 2nd book in the series and offers a little more on the world(s) that these characters live in. It is more sci-fi than I usually read, but the stories were interesting and it's always good to see characters grow in a series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Superb
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2017
I'm going to make this short and sweet since plot summaries were perfectly handled by the kindle blurb. I've read all of these stories and they are simply superb. NR Hairston is s heck of a great writer. The plots, characters and world building in each of these stories is really excellent. Enjoy. I certainly did.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Collection
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2017
Very pleasantly surprised by both the diversity and quality of each story. Each one in its own right was well written, vert believable characters and an engrossing storyline. No easy feat given the mixture of gifted creatures, the variety of locations and making each individual part unique yet at the same time.fitting to the book as a whole. Very impressed

4.0 out of 5 stars A set of great short stories
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017
This is the second in a series of books of short stories. The stories all share a similar theme. This time it's curses and illnesses. (The last book was based on betrayals.) The characters and plots are solid, and the writing is good. There is adventure, danger, mystery, and - of course - magic. I love stories that feature strong heroines, so this was a definite pull for me.
