Rejected Fate Trilogy (book 2): Cursed Magic by Jen L. Grey

 

Rejected Fate Trilogy Book 2

Surviving was just the beginning. Now, the real nightmare begins.Betrayed by the man who was meant to stand beside me, I watched my pack fall in a bloodbath of treachery. My sister and I barely escaped—but in the chaos, we were separated.

Pulled from the river, I was saved—begrudgingly—by Ryker, a ruthless and powerful pack leader with secrets of his own. A man I don’t trust and can’t seem to escape. The pull between us is undeniable, but after everything, I refuse to let another wolf break me.

When we finally rescue my sister, shadows close in—shadows only I can see. Our survival seems impossible—until Ryker makes the ultimate sacrifice, stepping in front of a blade meant for my sister.

Now, the war is escalating. The attacks grow more relentless, and the deeper we dig, the darker the truth becomes—the very man who rejected me isn’t just after Ryker’s pack and mine. He’s hunting wolves and vampires alike.

I’ve spent my life running from Fate. From the bond pulling me toward Ryker. But the more we fight side by side, the more something inside me begins to awaken. Something powerful. Something I don’t understand.

And if I don’t figure out what it is soon, the next time the shadows strike—they won’t just take my life.

They’ll take my soul.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Ember has succeeded in saving her sister, but not without injuries to herself and Ryker and his pack. Though they are alive and with their vampire allies, there is still a lot more they need to know about these shadow attackers. Who are they? And what exactly do they want? It will take everyone working together to figure it out. But their group has their own problems. Like this pull between Ember and Ryker. Ember is bent on ignoring it. Not ready to be vulnerable again and how can she think about what it would mean for them with so much destruction around them? And don’t forget about the secrets Ryker is keeping from her and his pack. There is something going on with him and he refuses to admit it. Still so many questions left unanswered in this story! But we are getting closer and closer to the truth. Ember and Ryker have a long way to go in their relationship as well, but the more they open up the more they realize what they are to one another. And of course, a crazy cliffhanger that makes me need the next book asap! Can’t wait to see how everything plays out. 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
