Cursed Sight by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the story of Ethan Broderick and Serena Bishop, they are both witches, but Serena is the more powerful and head of her cover, whereas Ethan is new to his powers and up until a few months ago, didn’t know his family was a family of witches at all, so not being a part of any coven and dealing with that revelation is tough, but together, they are now mentor and pupil as Serena teaches Ethan how to use and develop his powers.

As she locks up for the night, Serena’s thoughts turn to Ethan and the events which brought him to her, as well as his sister, a powerful witch in her own right and a rival to her own power, but someone who doesn’t want to overthrow her, much to Serena’s surprise. While her memories flow, she shuffles a tarot deck and places it back under its crystal and heads upstairs to her apartment above the shop, she showers and takes in the peaceful scents of her incense mixing with her lavender body wash to help dispel the thoughts and morose mood she has developed and let sleep take her. Meanwhile, Ethan is home from a business trip and is thinking of Serena and how he has missed working with her while away and the revelations of his family history and the things it has awakened in him, his brothers and his sister. He sends her a quick text before showering and heading to bed, however a restful sleep was not in the cards when he awakens from a nightmare and the feeling it brought with it of foreboding, but with nothing else to glean from the images, he takes another shower and follows it with coffee and unpacking.

The next day, Serena heads around the store, cleansing it from the last customer’s emotions and starts sorting out a new delivery of crystals until she is startled by Ethan entering the shop and confused by her emotions and bodily reactions when he is around, but when she sees that he is not his usual self, she shuts the shop early and gives him an earful about not cleansing himself enough or properly and while she is trying to prepare to help him, she cannot think clearly until he puts his hands on her shoulders and helps her to regain her calm, however, as the cleansing ritual begins, she finds herself drawn into the circle she created around him and herself being cleansed at the same time, however, what she learns while this is happening si something she never expected.

As they continue to work together and develop his oracle powers, as well as developing feelings for each other, Ethan continues to get more visions and these ones are of Serena and of her being in danger, this leads to a fierce need to protect her and those around her, but who is the threat from and how can he help Serena to avoid her demise? All this and more will be answered as you read along this journey with Ethan and Serena, bringing more revelations and an emotional rollercoaster along with them.
