Queen B’s Decree: When we left Debts and Diamonds, Cyn had just been kidnapped by the evil bad guys.
I enjoyed the pacing of Curses and Cures. The first half entails Cyn’s abuse and the boy’s rush to rescue her, and the second half is her healing and their growth together. I will say, I do have some minor complaints about certain plot points.
While the chemistry between Cyn and her Deana-dhe boys was always hot, I didn’t really understand the relationship between the boys. It felt like gratuitous M/M scenes that didn’t fit with the vibe of their relationship. Like it was more there to fit current bookish trends. Despite the spiciness and steam from those scenes, I felt tempted to skim.
Regardless, I still enjoyed this conclusion to their duet. I definitely like Bea Paige’s characters and I’ll continue to read!
