Wow!! This blew me away
This collaboration of two amazing authors was full of action, twists and turns.
This is a dark story it had me on the edge of my seat, I couldn’t put it down. I felt quite moved and emotional with every turn of the page
I also found this brilliantly written, with great characters.
The authors had me feeling all the pain of what Samara & Archer had gone through when they were only children, and what they still had to cope with as adults.
I am a dark story lover and I absolutely LOVED THIS, so if you like your stories dark then you must read this!!
I highly recommend these two authors and this book.
4.5 stars
“I’m all about business; emotions get you beaten. They’re no good and you should never have them.” Welcome to the dark world of the factory where life takes on its own rhythm to the detriment of all of its inhabitants especially the children. Samara and Archer were young teens when their budding relationship caused actions beyond their control until they were separated and each one had to endure his/her own type of hell. Hunter was there to pick up the pieces when Samara needed someone but her love for Archer never ceased. This is one intriguing read and not for the faint of heart due to the dark themes that bleed through every page. The depth of the characters proves their strength as they battle their demons and the forces of evil that surround this sheltered world. Enter the factory, if you dare….If you enjoy reading a dark and suspenseful storyline then this is one for you. These two authors have delivered a twisted romantic, haunting read. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
This book deserves alot more than 5 stars. I was gripped from the start and couldn’t put it down. The way the words made me feel every bit of the physical and emotional turmoil that these characters went through is why I loved it so much. This story isn’t for everyone and has some graphic depictions of both physical and sexual abuse bit if you don’t mind that it’s worth every minute of your time and money. I hope these two authors write with each other again in the future because they are brilliant together.
I love dark and twisted reads that take me on a wild ride and Cursed Angels did just that while keeping me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Samara and Archer’s story was intense and drew me right in. Each character was so unique and pulled at my emotions in their own way. My jaw dropped, I cringed, teared up, wanted to rampage and was surprised with every new twist and turn their story took. After this intense, heartpounding and intriguing start I can only hope there’s much more to come from the Cursed Angels. If you like dark and suspenseful reads then Cursed Angels may be just the next read you need.
This is a dark, edge of your seat, highly addictive, page turner that will take you on one hell of a ride. Samara, Archer, and Hunter’s story is an intense one that took me into the depths of hell that they endured and the revenge that they sought. Their story is a good vs evil read that is a highly addicting story that will keep those pages turning till the very end.
These two amazing authors did an absolute fantastic job on their collaboration of Cursed Angels.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!
I enjoyed this story. It was dark and delicious. It really pulled at my heart strings. I loved Archer and Samara.
I was quickly engrossed in this book and found it very interesting. The story line sucked me right in, and I couldn’t help but feel for Samara and Archer. There was one scene that I found to be jarring, it felt like it came out of nowhere and didn’t belong, it just didn’t feel right or believable. I don’t want to give spoilers, so I’ll just say that it was the first time Hunter and Archer actually met face to face. I didn’t feel like that whole scene really added anything to the story line.
Other than that, the book is engrossing, and you have to keep reading so you find out what happens! I really enjoyed it!
I’ve been a fan of Dani Rene for a while now. She writes intense stories that pull at all of my emotions and suck me into worlds that are full of darkness that I never want to leave. I haven’t read anything by Anna Edwards until now, and if this story is any indication of her deliciously twisted mind then that will be changing ASAP.
This story is dark, disturbing, suspenseful, and intense from beginning to end. The characters are broken and their world is full of pain, horror, and revenge. They are also strong and incredible and captivating. I love a story about someone coming out on the other side of something horrible, something you would think would ruin a person, and watching them take on the world. They have this steel core that is untouchable and even though they fear they won’t stop on their journey to revenge. This is one of those.
In some place, the story made my stomach ache and I felt like I should walk away from it, but I couldn’t put it down and the more horror there was the more I needed to continue reading. It’s not an easy story and the emotions it dragged up left me breathless, but it is beautiful in it’s darkness. I can’t stress enough the intensity of this read.
There are scenes about abuse to children that could be a trigger for some, but for me it had a therapeutic quality that I found almost peaceful.
This is the perfect story for those who love the darker side of love.
Cursed Angels by Dani Rene & Anna Edwards is the story of Samara.
Samara and Archer where young teenage orphans taken but they had each other. But then they were torn apart. Archer at the time wanted to protect Samara even if that meant for him to be taken to the Dark Side. Which of course he was tortured until his memories of things where totally gone and he was just a fighting machine for them. Samara didn’t have it easy either and escape to which lead her to start working and training with Hunter. Samara was on a vengeance mission that has lead her back to Archer. But Archer doesn’t remember her and she doesn’t fully understand at first what has been going on.
Exciting hot read.
Cursed Angels is truly magnificent, in the way, only gifted dark romance authors like Dani Rene and Anna Edwards can ensure.
Samara is broken, revenge fuelled and inherently brave. I loved her drive and spirit, which should have been crushed. Asher is the lost boy, fierce but damaged and in need of a saviour.
The bond between the characters has been torn and broken. Their love, frail and complicated, has survived despite the trials, betrayals and brutalities that they’ve endured.
This is a story of beauty being in the broken and revenge being the force that drives. It’s cathartic and brutal and so bitterly sweet. Just fantastic!
Cursed Angels by Dani René & Anna Edwards is deliciously dark and I LOVED every minute of it! What an amazing collaboration! Dani René has been a favorite of mine for quite a while, I haven’t been disappointed in a release yet! But Anna Edwards is a new to me author who I’ve only recently found when both of these ladies contributed to a multi-author series! These ladies have outdone themselves with this one! Told in dual POV Cursed Angels was a total page-turner, with just enough suspense that it’ll keep you right on the edge of your seat guessing what’s gonna happen next.
“The Cursed Angels. That’s what she referred to us as. We were angels until we’d had everything stripped from us.”
Samara Eldrige and Archer King first met when they were young teens forced into a life at ‘The Factory’ where they were subjected to awful forms of torture and unspeakable acts. Samara and Archer relied on each other. They were each other’s light in a place filled with nothing but darkness.
Archer was Samara’s everything, she was completely in love with him and they made plans to escape from the cruel unjust world of life at The Factory.
But things didn’t go according to plan and even though Samara escapes, Archer breaks his promise.
Left on her own trying to survive Samara winds up at a Warehouse where she meets the ‘Cursed Angels’. Hunter is one of those Cursed Angels.
Hunter helps Samara pick up the pieces of her broken heart but no matter how much he tries, there’s still a piece missing. The piece that Archer King will always hold.
“Even after the horrors, it’s still him who haunts me. It’s him who visits me in my nightmares to remind me he left me there. The further I push him into my subconscious, the more he torments my mind. Archer will always be there. Taunting me with his promises. His sweet words that meant nothing.”
Eight years later, Samara has picked up a few skills and resources and now, she wants revenge on every single one of the monsters who wronged her all those years ago.
But when Samara comes face to face with the only man who has ever truly held her whole heart, she realizes he’s not the boy that she once knew. Now he’s a brutal man working for the same organization that stole their innocence as well as thousands of others.
The only thing worse… he doesn’t even remember who Samara is.
Can Samara kill the only man she’s ever loved?
Why did Archer abandon Samara all those years ago?
Why doesn’t Archer remember her?
Find out these answers and sooo many more, check out Cursed Angels now!
Sheesh, I have been on a roller coaster with this one you guys! This isn’t a “light” read for sure, there are most definitely some dark undertones and some pretty rough stuff is touched on so those of you who have triggers for abuse of children, be advised.
Samara is my kind of heroine! She’s a TOTAL badass. No matter how much she’s been through, she’s never quit. She just got stronger and wiser and then went after what she wanted.
“I became a warrior. Instead of letting the atrocities I faced break me, I allowed them to make me stronger.”
Archer, he’s a brutal alpha man who’s been used the same way Samara has only in different ways. I wasn’t sure how I felt about Archer King at first but he most definitely won me over.
“Love allows you to trust others. Hate allows you to trust yourself.”
Hunter, I adored Hunter! At first, I was a little worried because I thought Archer and Samara may run into a problem along the way with him but sheesh… what an amazing man. I can NOT wait to hear more about him, I need more of Hunter like ASAP. I liked Archer but Hunter stole the show for me. I am really, REALLY hoping we get his story next, I can’t wait to see him get his happy ending with someone who only has eyes for him.
OK, even though I absolutely LOVED this one… I couldn’t quite give it 5-stars. The scene where Archer shows up to the cabin for the first time… that came out of nowhere and all though I was saying “my oh my” while reading it, it just didn’t seem believable. Not with how EXTREMELY alpha BOTH of these men are so it kind of threw me for a loop and just felt threw in there. But damn it was hot!
I know some are going to dislike this one because the leading man of the story has sexual intercourse with someone OTHER than the leading female… but once you read the story you’ll understand. It’s not cheating when he literally has NO recollection of who the leading female even is… even minutes after standing in the same room as her. As I said, I’m sure others will mention this part as a negative in their review (usually I would too) but again, this one I do NOT consider cheating, Archer is clearly taken advantage of.
These ladies have outdone themselves with this one and I can’t wait to see where the rest of this series takes us. Cursed Angels is still a romance but dark and suspenseful enough that you’ll read in one sitting because you just can NOT put it down. FYI, I most definitely wouldn’t hate it if these ladies teamed up again FOR SURE!
“She’s my angel. We were once cursed, but now, we’re free.”
Confessions Of A Bibliophile Overall Ratings:
– I really liked this one! I’m really excited to see where this series goes next. There were a couple of minor things that I didn’t like but I would most definitely recommend checking it out! Dark romance and suspense lovers would enjoy this one!
– Not a whole lot of steamy scenes in this one, but the scenes that are there are SMOKIN HOT!
Cliffhanger Warning – Loved the ending! There IS a conclusion, BUT there was a lead-up for the next book in the series!
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
Ok I have to say I did enjoy Archer and Samara story they definitely made me feel for what they went through and what they have to endure. But I’m going to be honest here I didn’t like so much that they had a relationship with others I do understand Archer for the reason he did but Samara not so much and that put me a little bit out of the story. But not enough to make me not want more of this cursed angels.
this was another outstanding book written! she had everything ripped from her at sixteen even the love of her life. now she has learned to deal with it thanks to a new man. her past has come back but not in a good way. read to find out what happens.
Wow this was amazing and so captivating your hung on every word as you dare enter the Factory which is so dark and pure evil. The characters are do well developed with raw emotion and damaged you can feel their pain and loss. Hunter, Samara and Archer are so unique and brave and I had so many feelings for these three as they take The journey of their life in to the darkness that is filled with so much pain, lies and loss. I really loved this it was truly outstanding.
These two amazing authors came together and wrote such a beautiful, emotional, intense book. I was sucked in from the beginning like I always am with any of Dani’s books. The words drew me in and the story kept me there. Loved it!
I Absolutely love this book is grabs you from the very first page, you cant read it fast enough but at the same time you never want it to end.
Theres so many twists and turns that had my heart in my mouth.
Fantastic story!!!
Dani and anna have worked wonders GO READ IT!!
Dani Rene and Anna Edwards co-writing a book,hell yeah!
With these two authors collaborating together I knew I was in for one unforgettable read.
And they delivered just that!
The storyline,for me, was unique and something I hadn’t come across before.
That made it just that more intriguing.
Samara,Archer and Hunter not only captivating characters.
But are so multilayered people.
They are tough and strong,determined and all are on a mission.
Yet we get glimpses into the inner broken child within them and their vulnerabilities as adults.
Cursed Angels is a thrilling intense journey into the darkness.
Good vs. Evil
This book had my heart pounding hard and holding my breath at times afraid of what was going to happen next.
A must read for fans of these authors and those who enjoy a dark suspenseful story.
Karma has no menu….you get what you deserve…
I was immediately gripped into the unrestrained physical and emotional energy and drive that the main characters Archer and Samara released. Samara was just a young girl when she met Archer. He was her first “everything”. She fell in love with him and neverstopped. But it was not meant to be.
When she saw Archer years later he was no longer the boy she fell in love with, but a man who had turned into a brutal savage beast that was now part of an organization called The Factory. The very place where they were both subjected to heinous, unspeakableacts. Samara’s agenda is crystal clear, revenge on the monsters who took away her love and innocence.
Dani Rene and Anna Edwards get my 5 star review for an amazing story, but especially for creating a story that delves outside of the comfortable box and for not being afraid to have no boundaries.
