Blurb:


A box set featuring all three novels in the bestselling fantasy trilogy, A Curse Books!

The Thousand Year Curse
Being a teenager isn't all fun and games for seventeen year old Ryder. After being thrown down the social hierarchy, Ryder Mason has one goal for her senior year- survive.

Within the first month of school, Ryder goes from bullied teen to a cursed half goddess with two boyfriends. As if that wasn't enough, she travels into the Underworld to confront Hades about the curse and her missing mother.

Ryder delves head first into a Godly world as her two knights fight to seek her approval, her best friend's loyalties are tested and people's true intentions are shown in the first Curse Books novel.

The Curse of Betrayal
Ryder has finally decided to take her life into her own hands, but things don’t always turn out as they seem. Ollie and Ari have made a pact that leaves Ryder alone until she ends the curse and chooses her soul mate.

With her knights absent, Ryder becomes independent, seeing things in her visions that force her to question the curse—and herself.

As strange things happen at Demi God Academy, Ryder realizes everything comes back to her. She must use the power growing within her to protect her new friends in ways she never imagined possible. But as new threats surface, she may not be strong enough to protect them all.

In book two of A Curse Books, Ryder discovers what it really means to be Eurydice.

The Broken Curse
After a chain of tragic events, Ryder has lost the true essence of who she is. At the cost of her emotions, she channels anger and frustration to hone her new skills. Her white knight remains by her side, but with light comes dark.

When her mentor concocts a plan to end the curse, Ryder dives in head first, but as the number of demons on Earth increases, Ryder and her friends realize their final battle affects more than just the curse.

In the final installment of A Curse Books, Ryder will decide her future—and accept the inevitable fate her decision brings with it.




My Review:

A Curse Books Trilogy Box Set (Books 1-3)


The Thousand Year Curse



Ryder learns that a curse was placed on her a long time ago and that it also involves Ollie and Ari as well. Hades put a curse on her and she is very tired of it and wants to go to visit him to ask him to remove the curse. But Ollie tells her no she cannot go visit Hades it is too dangerous.

Ryder finds out that her mother is a Goddess and she is also hoping that visiting with Hades; he will then tell her who her mother is. Her mother left her and her Dad a long time ago. Ryder is hoping that her mother may be able to help her with the curse in some way among other things that she would like to talk with her about.



The Curse of Betrayal


We don’t get to see Ollie much in The Curse of Betrayal but Ari is there. He is one of Ryder’s teachers so we get to see a little action in the halls and stairwells at times. Ryder doesn’t know how she can choose between her two boys I mean she loves them both. How can she choose one over the other? She knowns that eventually to break the curse she is going to have to choose one; only one can be her soulmate. Will it be her light haired boyfriend or her dark haired boyfriend? 

One of Ryder’s new teachers her guidance counselor Professor Onassis helps her with her curse. Ryder is determined to find all that she can about her curse and to break it. She is tired of dying and being reincarnated over and over again. Besides she is having a hard time deciding who her one true love, her soulmate is.



The Curse of Betrayal


Ryder must choose her soulmate to break the curse. She is having a hard time because she loves both her boys; Ollie and Ari very much. How can she just make a decision like that? How can she love one more than the other? She knows when she makes her decision someone is going to leave with a broken heart. How can she hurt one of her boys like that?

Even though she is dreading the day they all have to fight she is glad to have so many people on her side. She dreads having to go to the Underworld and bring all her friends she knows not everyone will come back and that hurt her very much. She would gladly give up her own life if she could save all her friends and keep them safe.

While I was reading A Curse Books Trilogy I would get so engrossed in it that I think I may have at times felt as if I was Ryder and that I was actually feeling what she felt. There were times while I was reading that I would find myself with this overwhelming sadness come over me and tears would be streaming down my face. I just love books where the author can make you feel as if you are the characters and you feel what they are feeling. If you love books like this then you will love A Curse Books Trilogy.
