About this book

Since she was eight years old, Lilly Rayne Nightingale felt like Fate was trying to wipe away her existence through a series of odd, near fatal incidences. Luckily, her best friend Will was always one step ahead of Fate preventing her from being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Will was her knight in shining armor until he broke her heart after their one and only kiss.

On Lilly's first day of college, she meets Brand Cole. Intrigued by Brand, Lilly must decide whether or not she can give up her adolescent fantasy of being reunited with Will and allow Brand the opportunity to conqueror her heart.

Not only do Will and Brand both love Lilly, they share a dark secret neither wants Lilly to discover. Lilly thinks Fate is after her once again when a new series of attempts on her life start to take place, but she soon learns someone of flesh and blood is trying to kill her this time.

Reader Reviews

Intriguing, engaging, well-told story

September 2, 2015

This review is long overdue. I realized yesterday that, though I have rated this book in the past, I never actually did a written review of this series. This gives me the awesome excuse to read these books again. West does an excellent job telling the story of Lilly Rayne Nightingale and her introduction to the paranormal world of the Watchers. Lilly is a strong, compelling character with a kind heart and an abundance of love and friendship within her circle. Characters from Lilly’s circle,...

Loving the start of this series

September 20, 2015

Cursed is listed as a YA novel, so if you are looking for hot and steamy – this is not it. With that being said, Cursed is still a wonderful read. We get to meet Lilly, Brand, Will, and a group of other characters. The story line is refreshing, Lilly has to go through what each and every one of us has had to go through at one point in our lives – why me? I’m no one special, etc. And while Lilly may seem immature to some, give the girl a break, she’s been through a lot in her life, but has also...

addictive

I've read the comments and I have to totally disagree with the ones saying this book was plain. I finished this book within a week, and it was so hard to put down. As a mother, I love the friendship between Tara and Lilly. It honestly reminds me of my teen and her best friend. They have known each other since kindergarten and have the same friendship dynamic, very protective of one another. It was great to see that in this book. As far as the love triangle, it was definitely interesting. I...

Plot twisted and turned!

May 10, 2026

I was pulled into the story because of the history and back stories that weren't obvious! It kept me intrigued. I also liked the wholesomeness and lack of swearing! The story was genuinely written. Loved the intertwined supernatural aspect! Can't wait to read the next book. )

Reeeeeeeal Sappy but Good

April 29, 2014

This was a fast read that both excited and disappointed me. I'll admit I like a good, sappy love story from time to time, but this one almost pushed it too far. It was similar to a train wreck. There were several times I wanted to put it down, but then something happened that would change my mind, and I kept reading until the end. The storyline was similar to a lot of Harlequin novels where you knew pretty much how it was going to end - which characters were going to get together - except it...
