This is an extremely fast read, at only 52 pages, but to be honest, I wasn’t ready for the story to be over! C.A. King is a very talented author with fascinating characters and amazing otherworldly settings. The Gravedigger Academy was the first series I read by her and I decided then I wanted to read more of het work, so I picked this Supernatural read up.
We start by meeting our main female character, Selene, whose life just seemed to implode as she looses yet another job and goes home to find she’s being evicted. She then begs her friend at the career center for help, where Selene discovered a job listing for a remote island that sounds intriguing. This is where the real, somewhat steamy adventure begins.

Wow! What a massive book! This def took some time for me to read, but it was well written, and I felt like the world-building was done well. I thought the character names were kinda cute; you have Basil, Anise, Watercress, etc. I loved the spin on the fantasy tropes involved; and just all around thought it was a good book. I recommend if you’re looking for a new series!

M. Hogenson – Review by Lucy Machard
Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse is book 1 of the Forerunner Series written by Jay Veloso Batista. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I was not disappointed. This book really had something for everyone! Vikings, gods and goddesses, paranormal beings, magic…a little bit of everything! The story was told from different perspectives, so you got to see different individuals’ points of view. The story covers Thorfinn and his encounter with a witch that caused his life to take a very different turn. The book included musical interludes which really added to the story. Also, the narrator could not have been any better, it’s like he was MADE to read this book to us. His voice provided a warm and whimsical air to the book. I highly recommend this book and look forward to continuing the series.

Selene seems to always end up breaking the rules, so she hasn’t been able to keep a job very long and is about to lose everything. However she has come across this job on an island that may just be perfect for her, very minimal hours and everything is paid for however there are a few rules. After dusk everyone on the island is to wear a mask. There are rumors that the island is cursed but no one will speak as to why, so Selene takes it upon herself to see what the curse is all about. Will Selene’s curiosity cost her possibly her last chance?

Oh I so need more of this story! Had this been an actual hard copy I would’ve found myself looking for more pages. Selene finds herself with no job and no place to live. She believes she’s a great exemplary employee but finds herself in desperate need of employment, once again.
She visits an acquaintance at the employee center where she is able to grab a listing for a job, on an island. Benefits is not only employment but housing as well.
Looks are deceiving and upon arriving she finds herself immersed in a whole other world. Will she run when she learns the truth or will she stay and make the best of it?

A fun Viking tale that you will enjoy listening to as you follow Thorinn on his adventure. He and his family have somehow irritated a witch who cast a curse on them. Talk about craziness. I read this on ebook. I really enjoyed it in audio. the soundtrack and narration really make it nice to lay down or sit back and just close your eyes and picture as you listen. The author does a fascinating job with details in his story and really brings out the details. I hope to see the rest of the series come out in audio.

What a gem!! Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse is Book 1 of the Forerunner Series and this was a fantastic audiobook. This story gave me Vikings, witches, curses and drama. I can say I’m looking forward to diving into this series more!
Told in multiple POVs…. This story is a about a family that is cursed and Finn is the main focus of this curse. Trying to navigate and learn the ways between realms.. will Finn be able to be courageous to save uncle…
Secrets and plots… definitely listen to find out. Great start to this series!
The narrator was perfect for this story and I loved the music that was added. It really brings the story to life.

This was a very interesting read. As the author states in their review, it is beefy. The complexity of the story actually helps keep it pulled together. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to stay with it but the more I got into the story, the more the characters pulled me. The details and the characters wove this story together in a way that is intriguing and kind of fascinating. By the time I was finished, I found that I had actually kind of enjoyed the book. Well done for a debut novel.

M. Hogenson – Review by Shelly Kittell
When bloodthirsty monsters raid the birthplace of the first archangel, the High King of Coserai calls for a crusade to defend the holy land. Basil, a sheltered healing mage’s apprentice, marches with the crusade to accomplish his Low King’s hidden agenda: to travel to an oracle and gather insight into the fate of the realm. Along his journey, Basil faces threats from demons and criminals, paid to assassinate crusade members. Though Basil’s master attempts to spare him from unnecessary suffering, Basil’s desire for adventure lands him in danger as he begins to unravel the truth of his divine destiny.
M. Hogenson graduated from the University of Maryland and worked as an engineer and then a supervisor afterwards. It is their dream to be able to become a full-time writer so they can justify extensively long trips to the library and consider it “work.” In their free time, they compulsively listen to audiobooks while working odd projects such as bookbinding, house renovating, interior decorating, gardening, painting, sewing, knitting, mug making, and pretty much any other hobby available at local craft stores.

I have become such a fan of C. A. King so I was excited for this one; Curse of the Forbidden Island did not disappoint. Although it is a very quick, short read, there is still the same great world building I have come to expect from C. A. King. I could see the waves breaking on the sand, feel the heat from the sun, and felt the cool night breeze on my face. This paranormal romance is different from others I have read, but it’s precisely why it stands out to me. There was mystery, hints of ancient curses, steamy interludes, and a touch of the paranormal. I was kept guessing to the very end, which came way too soon for me, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Selene was a character I connected with from the start. Her luck is nothing but bad until she takes the job on the mysterious, yet intriguing, Forbidden Island. Great read by C. A. King!

When nothing goes right, opportunity can come knocking and that is exactly what happens when a job advertisement somewhere called “Forbidden Island” come up, there isn’t much detail, however, one particular woman finds that she meets all the criteria and before you know it, she is surrounded by sun, sea, sand and gorgeous men.
The only thing wrong, or at least, the only thing that doesn’t quite fit is the rule of everyone wearing masks on a night, but that doesn’t stop the rising desires which the six Casanova’s bring out, but beneath the perfect façade there is a mystery to be unravelled which is just as tantalising as the men.
Who are these mysterious hotties, are they the owners of the island, or are they other employees, and what is the mystery surrounding them? This is a hot and heavy paranormal romance where nothing is as it seems, mystery surrounds everyone and everything, but figuring it all out is as addictive as the spice within.

King – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
Thorfinn is a young boy of 9 years and coming of age under the historical Viking lore. Along with magic, ghost’s, witches and paranormal events. He may be young, but his knowledge is powerful. Now he needs to grow long before he is ready. This is a very interesting story. I don’t care to read historical novels, this one caught my interest. The story is well written and pretty easy to follow. As well as educational if you are interested in this genre. You can tell the author is knowledgeable in Viking history and paranormal characters, as is clear in this story. This audible story is fun to listen to. This would make for long driving trips. As the story builds, so does your heartbeat. This is a great story all together. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Selene is running out of job prospects and is on her way to being homeless and broke. She finds what appears to be an ad for her dream job. A well paying job that is only a couple hours a day/three times a week, free food and housing and on a tropical island?! It has to be too good to be true.
Once Selene arrives, she finds out the Island is owned by six gorgeous men but there are rumours that the island is cursed. Selene is determined to keep this job. She tries her hardest to follow the rules. Even the weird one of all residents on the island have to wear masks, from dusk to dawn, if they are to leave their room.
Selene soon finds out that the nights are full of mystery and passion and she is all for it. But it still isn’t enough for her. She wants to learn more about the supposed curse and about the men who own the island.
C.A. King is one of my favourite authors. Their books are usually short but packed full of detail leaving you with a fast paced adventure or romance depending on the book that leaves you satisfied but also wanting more. I highly recommend anything this author writes and this book is no exception. There’s mystery, intrigue, romance and steam all bundled up with an HEA.

Xenobia is a young woman who is expected to live a life of servitude and as such, she has been enrolled into an academy to train her in everything she needs to know and all she wants to do is stay hidden in plain sight and not get into trouble. The only problem is that she cannot risk getting to know the girl who she shares her room with, not because of worry for her safety, but because of her reaction if they leave.
One day, a girl moves into her room called Urd and she immediately feels like she wants to get to know her, even though it is a terrible idea, but she does anyway and it all goes well until a person with extremely high privilege and abhorrent tasted arrived to take Xenobia and Urd away. This spurs the two on to escape, but will they be able to, it will trouble find them anyway and to what lengths will Xenobia go to to protect her friend?
This is a short story with plenty of action and emotional turmoil packed into it’s pages and is a brilliant novella by this author.
I’m dipping my toes into more paranormal romances lately so I had to read this one. Rather quick read but I really enjoyed every page. Mystery’s make a book so much fun! Always needing to know what happens next so I’m quickly reading and flipping the pages but it grabbed my attention right away. And there’s a little bit of steam which I love!!! Can’t go wrong with that. Honestly though, it ended way too quickly for me and I didn’t want it to end. I’ll definitely be reading more of this authors work!

I haven’t disliked anything from C.A. King, and I am happy to announce this was absolutely no different. Curse of Forbidden Island was a fantastic quick read. I certainly would consider this a paranormal romance. This was a bit different than the other C.A. King books I read but enjoyed it. I would say my only complaint is that it ended, I could have continued reading. I surely hope King shares more of this story in some way.

This is my first audio book by this author which I enjoyed listening to. It will take you on an adventure that you won’t soon forget. I enjoyed how the narrator used different tones to make the characters come to life. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start. The growth of the characters is great and I enjoyed how supportive they are of each other. A story that took me on an adventure that is full of action. It is a journey of an emotional connection that made the story hard to stop listening to. I look forward to picking up another audio by this author. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Hard-working Selene is a gambling addict who works hard but has a hard time keeping a job due to the vibe she gives off. Down on her luck, having just lost her most recent job and home, Selene gets a crazy streak of luck. A job where you get room and board on a tropical island and unlimited use of the amenities? What’s the catch? There’s a mask rule and rumors of a curse. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but I quickly fell into the book and Selene’s situation and could not put the short book down! I am hoping this book becomes the start of a new series!

Curse of the Forbidden Island isn’t what I expected. The cover art is what drew me in, I didn’t really know what the story was about, but I’ve read others by this author that I liked. The author is great with words, painting a picture with them. This was a good book, with a unique story line. It is very short- I read it in one sitting, but it is satisfactory, and wraps up as a full story. We get to know the history of the island, it’s curse and the reason for the masks. It was a little more…. graphic, and steamy than I expected- but that warning is in the synopsis.

Nessie and the Viking Gold (Nessie’s Grotto) is the 2nd in a series about siblings Craig and Linda and their adventures with Nessie. This one focuses more on Linda, as Craig is growing up and seems to be trying to fit into a more mature world. Their family are back at Loch Ness and the 2 are of course on the water looking for Nessie almost immediately, this time with a new friend.
As always, a great read for younger kiddos as is anything by this author! I always have fun reading this one to my girls and they love it as well.

This is a quick and sexy read. On her last leg Selene finds herself taking a chance on a job that seems too good to be true. Soon she has more questions than answers. Will her curiosity cost her another job or will Selene finally find one that she is good at? I liked the idea of this book but found the actual story missing something for me. I would have liked a bit more depth to the characters and their connection. Selene does not stand out for me and as much as I was interested in the plot I was not pulled in to the story. The male characters that we do get to meet are intriguing and it would have been nice to see more of their personalities. This is a quick adventure that gives readers a titillating story with a touch of the paranormal and mystery.

I’ve read many books by C.A. king and I know that she never fails to deliver. The books usually have something a little outlandish for the subject matter but each time this author delivers a well written, satisfying story, although usually on the shorter side these novels are packed full. Curse of the Forbidden Island is a reverse harem, paranormal romance focusing on Selene. Selene I actually felt for because I’ve had similar feelings about myself my whole life. Never being quite good enough, there always being some reason people have an issue with me even though I’ve done nothing wrong. She actually gets fired from another job in the very beginning of the book to set everything off. What better place to go after than an intriguing new job on a mysterious island?! I definitely liked this fast paced, steamy novella.

This paranormal romance was NOT long enough! This is an intriguing and spell-binding treat to indulge in. I started the story sympathizing with Selene and then rapidly found myself quite jealous of her! It is a steamy tale but well-written, and it left me wanting oh so much more. This is a good one to dig into when you don’t want to commit to anything lengthy, but you will definitely wish it was longer and that’s my only complaint here. I love the way this author writes and highly recommend this story.

C.A. King has done it again with this short story. A lot of stuff happens in 52 short pages. Selene does a but to warm up to, but once she finds her stride, she becomes more likable. She is the only staff member to stay overnight besides the owners and visitors. If she leaves during the night she must dawn on a mask. She gets intrigued by the 6 mysterious owners. She plays detective and things gets interesting. I loved reading the short story and I can’t wait to read more short stories by her!

C. Reigh – Review by Laura Jones
Picking up any story by this author C.A king, you will never regret. The Curse of the Forbidden Island is a short but steamy read( about 50 pages). Just like the heroine Selene, I had to know what the mystery curse of the island was, and It leads to a paranormal reverse-harem romance 😉. This will for sure keep your attention from the start til the quick end. This book left me wanting so much more, so I can not wait to see if this was like a prequel to a longer series. I would definitely read it, if the author were to make more in this world 🤞. I also look forward to reading more works from C.A King Ps I mean if you were down on your luck , would you accept a sketchy job offer at a paradise island lmao

Wow! Another great read by C.A. King! Although the author got the whole story into this short book, I wanted so much more. I really got in to it and then it was over! But as usual, she shows her talent in world building and the paranormal.

Curse of the Forbidden Island is a paranormal romance. I’ve enjoyed many books by this author, particularly The Portal Prophecies! This is a bite-sized story with plenty packed into a short space.
I particularly enjoyed the setting! Reading this book on a bus in February, it was great to imagine a job where I could go and lie on a warm, sandy beach as soon as I’d finished for the day. We got plenty of background and development with Selene who never quite fits in or knows how to behave. Her curiosity brings readers into the story and helps us to wonder about the mysteries surrounding the island.
Although it’s a short book, I felt like it was satisfyingly complete. There’s plenty to fuel the imagination about what might happen after the story ends, but the story is well paced and the ending doesn’t feel rushed.
This book gets four stars from me! I’d recommend it to adult readers who are fans of this author, and any paranormal romance fans who want to replace gloomy castles with a tropical island!
