Cursed, Book 1 in the Cedarstone Chronicles by Sean Stone is the story of Arthur and his coven - Maggie, Adam and Nicole. They had their powers taken away years ago, but now Arthur believes he has a way to get them back. He can resurrect Nickolas Blackwood, an immortal who can help him fight back against the council. It is a huge risk, but Arthur is desperate enough to try it. However, Nickolas Blackwood is not all that he seems and he has his own agenda. As well as witches, the town of Cedarstone contains other supernatural creatures such as vampires and werewolves. I thought that the town was well described and there was a good variety of characters to keep me entertained.
Sean Stone has written an interesting book with Cursed, Book 1 in the Cedarstone Chronicles. I like the idea of a coven with no powers. It kept me reading as I wanted to know what happened, how they lost their powers, and what Nickolas Blackwood's plan is. I think it will do quite well on the market. The characters are interesting and I enjoyed the story. Having a male lead in urban fantasy was a good change as it is usually a female led genre, or at least it has been in the books I have read. I would recommend this book to other readers of the genre as I think they will enjoy it too.
