I loved this book! This is a paranormal story that is full of action, suspense and even some romance. I was pulled into the story right from the beginning. It is an engaging story that had me turning pages to the end. The characters are creative, they range from witches to vampires to werewolves and a few more. I had no problems connecting with them. They are supportive of each other which made the story easy to read. Ilana has finally come into her witch powers only to have Ezekiel, a prince, find her in his army. A curse was put on four princes by the Blood Queen and Ezekiel is one of them. Can he be saved before his curse turns Ilana into a sex slave? I read this book in one sitting as it is that good. I highly recommend this book and this author
Curse of Seduction by CR Robertson is the first book in the Dark Princes of Purgatory series. This is an extremely well written and exciting story that really had be hooked right from the start. Ilana and Ezekiel are brilliant characters. Their lives are so cleverly intertwined. You really get behind them. I had to find out if they would be able to break the curse.
The author has done a great job of weaving a story that carries you effortlessly through to the end. It was original enough that it didn’t feel like many other books of this genre. The was well developed with the right scenes in all the right places. This was a great start to a new series and I can’t wait to read the next one.
Oh holy hotness! This book was a last minute read that I picked solely based on the explosive and sexy cover, and boy was I glad that I did! This one picked up with the drama, action, and more right from the get go. I could not put this down until I found out how this book was going to end. I am even more excited to find out this will be a series and something I get to delve back into time and again in the future, always a win-win situation.
This book has it all for the lovers of paranormal romance. So many different layers are woven throughout that make this book play like a movie in your mind as you read. Ophelia is the main female and really our protagonist to say the least. She has to be one of the best wicked women that I have read in a long while. She saves no mercy and this book is made because of it. I was a huge fan of Ezekiel and his whole story really plays well throughout. I won’t divulge much more of the storyline that is already given in the blurbs etc. because I can’t bear to ruin the story for anyone! It is definitely worth every moment of your time and a must read 5 star novel. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next novel in the series soon and see what else is available by CR Robertson soon!
It seems that writers want to pull me into fantasy romance books this year. Curse of Seduction has just made my top 10 list of best books of 2020. The storyline is amazing. It sank it’s teeth straight into me and refused to let me go. When I wanted to take a break from reading, it tugged me back in. I was enthralled from the first chapter through to the last. The characters were all endearing in their own way and definitely made the story better. I lobe when characters have personality and this book brings personality in spades.
I don’t wanna go
This has got to be one of the best fantasy reads this year.
I can’t even begin to list all the positive things I adored about this story
The world-building? Phenomenal
The storyline? Magical
The characters? Enchanting
What a way to begin a series
Ezekiel is the incubus prince cursed by Ophelia to forever feed her lust (She was after a bit more but I’m not telling). After 200 years it was becoming harder for him to find hope with each new day. He was slowly fading.
Until a vampire did the unthinkable
Curiosity – Anger – Betrayal
He would get the truth at all costs
Ilana was a soldier, a half-breed, considered one of society’s throwaways. But in times of war, even the undesirables were desired. You Gotta have cannon fodder.
Chosen to fight alongside Prince Ezekiel’s people she finds herself in new territory – both literally and figuratively. She knows she can do this, she is a warrior.
Until the unfathomable happens
Revelations – Desire – Strength
Is her life a lie?
I don’t even know where to start
So many magical creations –
dragons, wyvern, elves, witches, wraiths
I could go on forever
A war rages between good and evil
Unlikely friendships are forged in the fires of battle
Hope
Love
Ilana was such a strong heroine. Even when things were all discombobulated. She took a moment to acknowledge and feed the chaos before she bucked up and crafted a plan.
Ezekiel had spent centuries emotionally empty. He had crafted that emptiness into anger, the anger into a sword of revenge. Seeing him at full power, balancing duty and love.
I am keeping him
Each of the supporting cast was just as vibrant and played solid roles in the storyline.
The story is easy to follow. The author does slip in little tidbits that hint at future events. Just enough to get my curiosity peaked but nowhere close to sated.
I am still amped on the afterglow That is why this gets 5 stars!
I can not wait to see where the author takes us – Though we already know who is falling next.
Devour this one, absolutely amazing! The book is filled with supernatural beings beautifully written, terrific world building, exciting characters. The Blood Queen is drunk on power and decides the only way for her to get more and take over the realms is to curse the four princes but as with everything there’s always a balance, enter Ilana half vampire half witch and all bada$$! Loved every word!
“Maybe she’s a spy…” I hissed, my hands forming in fists. “Or maybe she’s your salvation.”
This was the first book I’ve read C.R Robertson and it didn’t disappointed. Loved it from the get-go! I’ve read a lot of paranormal romance and they can all start to sound the same after a while, but not with this book. The different worlds meshed together seamlessly and the writing style was fluid. Each character (primary or secondary) was well-developed and genuinely brought something to the story line, not just to serve as filler.
Ophelia is the ultimate villainess – powerful, evil, without mercy. There are battles, all types of supernaturals , twists and turns, magic, and quality tongue-in-cheek humor. And the delicious, sexy times are intense and mmm, mmm good.
Ezekiel and Ilana’s story is strong foundation to what looks to be one of my favorite series yet. Can’t wait to get to the next book and read Raegel and Agatha’s story!
Ophelia the Blood Queen curses the four princes of Purgatory. Ezekiel, Prince of the Incubi unexpectedly finds Ilana a vampire warrior in his army, who just comes into her witch powers. Immerse yourself in this story as the characters come alive. Magic, dragons, wyvern, elves, vampires, incubus, werewolves and witches round out this attention grabbing smoldering read. I loved the story!! Looking forward to the next in the series!
HOT HOT HOT!
This was the type of epic fantasy and romance that a reader finds in the books by Anne McCaffrey, Sherrilyn Kenyon, JR Ward, Nalini Singh, and Mercedes Lackey! I freaking loved it! Incubi, Elves, Vampires, Lycans and Witches? I can’t wait for the next book!!!
Set in a similar style as Lords of Shadows, the series details the battles of the four Princes of Purgatory. Cursed by a witch, the Princes fight! A fight that may cost their very soul, they battle for their realm while fighting the curse!
I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I’m in love with this story! I couldn’t get enough of Ilana & Ezekiel. The twists and turns are delicious, the characters are fantastic, truly a delightful read!
Magic, curses, action, different breeds of supernatural and dragons….a page turner from the beginning!
I can’t wait for the next book!
I loved this book so much! I absolutely can’t wait for the next one!!! I’m so excited about this book that I read it any chance I got. The way the author describes the world’s are phenomenal! The characters development was a build-up throughout the book. I didn’t dislike anything from this novel. Ezekiel and Ilana was definitely destined for each other. No matter what troubles they flew into, you can guarantee that they have each other as well as the awesome friendships they have both built. That is my favorite part of the book,when they realize that they will never be alone!
Curse of Seduction
“Her dishonour will be her ultimate downfall; I feel it in the depths of my soul. You cannot leash a wild animal and think your will alone makes it tame.” – Raegel
Ophelia the Blood Queen had cursed the four princes of Purgatory centuries ago; all in a bid to become Queen of Purgatory, then Queen of all the Realms. Only the four cursed princes stand against her and her insatiable appetite for utter control…
“Raw pain laced every word and I felt his agony claw its way through me. His brute force and threatening me didn’t work, but his words… They were straight from his soul, torn from him to leave him bleeding emotionally. The ice thawed and left me to bask in his heat.” – Ilana
Ilana, a vampiric half-breed warrior, was unlike other vampires. She couldn’t feed from the vein, and if a male touched her, she experienced pain. Well, any male other than Ezekiel, the incubus prince…. Ezekiel had owned her heart from the first moment that she saw him. When Ezekiel chose her to be part of his army, Ilana wasn’t sure what to expect… What happened exceeded her wildest fantasies….
Holy hotness! My kindle is on FIRE!!! Loved this book! Action, adventure, danger and desire… In SPADES!!!!
Well … this looks hot. Will update with full review once I’ve read.
