Praise for Cursed
“Benedict Jacka started off his Alex Verus series with a bang with
Fated, and doesn’t lose pace with Cursed.”—SF Site
“Jacka follows his urban fantasy debut, Fated, with an even more
impressive tale of gunplay and spellcraft in present-day
London...Readers will savor this tasty blend of magic, explosions,
and moral complexity.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A wonderfully fun, action-packed story with witty dialogue making
it another great installment for the Alex Verus series.”—All Things
Urban Fantasy
“Cursed ups the ante in almost every department of the book, and it
will fetch the author more fans as they strive to find satisfaction
from books other than the Dresden Files. Be sure to check out this
wonderful series.”—Fantasy Book Critic
“Benedict Jacka is a master storyteller. He has a wonderful way of
taking familiar ideas and polishing them until they glow, then
intertwining them with something new...A brilliant urban fantasy
that is so professionally polished and paced that you barely
remember to come up for air. Cursed takes everything that was great
about Fated and then puts it on a diet of steroids. It is fun and
action packed but now bigger, angrier, and absolutely nuts. I loved
it.”—Fantasy Faction
“If you like action-packed, magic-fueled story then this is the
series for you. It has a fast-paced story which captivated me from
start till finish and had a complex mystery that you could really
get into.”—Under the Covers Book Blog
