In Curse by Gia Detroit we meet Siena who is on the search for justice for her sister who is tragically killed in a plane crash. While there she meets Matti, a mafia capo who is also trying to find out what has happened in the crash. There was a lot but also not much happening in this book. I almost feel like there was a lot of running around with not a lot of substance. The FMC was doing everything but being smart about what she was doing, which caused me to shake my head way too often in this book. Then the miscommunication between the FMC and MMC was just a little irritating. I didn't believe in their relationship at all. Especially since they didn't even really get to speak to each other. They just kinda felt drawn to each other and did the do and BAM. Love. I was like....ummm ok. Especially considering the circumstances of everything. It was strange and unbelievable. Then we have Vin who is the MMC's bestie and also the heir apparent. He not only is apparently harboring lots of unresolved daddy issues towards his dad and won't let his bestie kill him. It's weird. Nothing gets explained. Just drops of info her and there. It leaves things feeling very unresolved. I didn't get a feeling of satisfaction when I finished this read. Just frustration. Even though this is a series, each book should at least feel like some part of the problem has been resolved. We barely know why what happened to Siena's sister happened. All of the villains are still alive and our main couple is not together. It just leaves a feeling of, why did I read this.
The spice in this book was ok. I didn't feel attached enough to the characters for things to really matter to me once they finally got down to it. Not to mention the fact that it just really felt like they didn't really have a relationship or anything to add to it. I'd give the spice a 3 out of 5, simply because it did happen. Overall I'd probably give this book a 2 out of 5. I just left the story feeling very unsatisfied and also very annoyed with almost all of the characters in this book. I'm unsure about recommending this. I mean it's got it's moments but overall it is definitely a book that you'd forget about later because you might have issues connecting with the characters. If you're just looking for something to pass the time, then yeah this would do it but it definitely probably isn't one that I'd say was exciting and had me coming back for more. As always, I say read it for yourself and see how you feel after reading it.
