Cursed: Decorah Security Book #21
by Rebecca York

Morgan Kirkland is an undercover private investigator employed by Andre Gascon when murders happen around his plantation in Louisiana. There are a lot of things happening in the bayou most of which is unexplained.

A quick read but the author loses her way about half way through whilst trying to expand the story. By which time the reader will have predicted the outcome/secrets being kept. Ok read if a bit predictable.

Cursed: Decorah Security Book #21 by Rebecca York did not disappoint. It has been some time since I have read one of York’s books and I’m not sure why I stopped. This one has let me know I need to go back and revisit them!
There is mystery, intrigue and of course romance! The setting is Louisiana, which in itself is beautiful. Throw in some voodoo, politics and some twists and turns as Andrea and Morgan navigate through the solving of murders that are happening. Recommend anyone that enjoys York’s work to check this latest installment of the Decorah Security Series out.
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book for an honest opinion.

Love this series. When Morgan takes an assignment in New Orleans filled with tales of Voodoo and the supernatural. She is not sure what to expect. A mysterious robe that makes her see things and an employer who keep disappearing when it gets dark. This is Morgan and Andre’s story.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

I struggled at first with the book. It seemed to throw so much information and back story in every direction but as I pressed on it all began to make sense why it was written that way and everything seemed to meld together in a beautiful romance. I enjoyed the scenery that was depicted in the words and the characters were wonderful to watch as they made their way through a slow burn romance and how they evolved throughout the book.

I thought that this was a great book!

It was fast paced, fully of mystery and romance and it had me hooked!

I thought that the level of detail was excellent, the characterisation was perfect and I was able to connect with the characters which made it a really enjoyable read this was one I could not put down!!

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!!

The story starts off with just the right amount of mystery to pull readers in but soon falls apart with the lack character development needed to keep readers intrigued. This story is number 21 and with that it should pull readers into a world wanting them to start back at book 1 in the series and read all the way thought. Instead it stops and starts so many times it didn't take much to flip though the pages to figure out the not so mysterious mystery.

Cursed is nothing more than book porn for those who need something sex and little story. There isn't much to the story and is a waste of time and paper.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of Rebecca York Cursed.

3.5 stars = I liked it. I enjoyed returning to the Decorah Security world. It's been a long time since I read a Rebeca York book, wow I can hardly believe that this is #21 in the Decorah Security series. The cover blurb really intrigued me, cursed guy in a bayou setting with voodoo, totally up my alley. I really only had on little nit with this, it was that with Morgan working around other supernaturals, she takes a bit to long to consciously figure out Andre's secret. I did like Andre, even though he held his secrets a bit long, and I liked how much he liked Morgan to start. I thought that the weaving between the past and current times was well done. Reading this made me want to go back and pull the other Decorah books off my TBR pile.

ARC via NetGalley publication date 9/8/2020.

Cursed is book 21 in the Decorah Security series by Rebecca York. The book focuses on Morgan Kirkland and Andre Gascon. Morgan is given the task of helping Andre investigate the murders which are happening around the Bayou in Louisiana. The book opens straight away with a lot of drama happening to Morgan and some instant attraction happening between her and Andre. Even though she is mourning the death of her husband, she can’t deny that there is a spark and intensity between the two of them.

The book has a lot of twist and turns in it with some added mystery. I loved how the book was based in the haunting Louisiana and how that entwined throughout the telling of the story. As a reader you are drawn into the wonderful story-telling and are intrigued by what is happening in the Bayou, especially with all of the secrets that seems to be going on in it. Two great characters with a great and mysterious story.

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

A play on beauty and the beast. This mystery romance takes place in the bayous of Louisiana. A private investigator hired to locate a killer. Small town politics and voodoo hinder her progress. Caught in the middle is a handsome landowner and his faithful guardian. A one sitting read that will leave you wanting more. It is a stand alone in the Decorah series.

Morgan Kirkland still mourns the loss of her husband. But she has found a new family amongst Decorah. Now deployed undercover to protect and investigate a series of "accidents" that are happening around the estate of Andre Gascon in Louisiana.

Before she even makes it to her post, Morgan is facing danger and ends up being rescued by Andre!

Andre is hiding something from Morgan and his housekeeper seems to be in on the secret. But will his secret hinder her investigation? Will it shed light on the mysterious reports of a "big cat" being in the area?

Another great read in the Decorah series. Morgan is one kickass investigator, male or female! She will do everything she can to uncover what is going on with the dodgy townfolk! Andre is a handsome, enigmatic, caring and an overall enticing client!

Another great read in the Decorah Security world and this one is just as fast paced and twisted as the previous books You are totally drawn into the tangled web around Andre Gascon and his home Bella Vista There is far more going on than anyone realises and Morgan Kirkland will be drawn into it as she tries to get to the truth Meanwhile passion is brewing between her and Andre but can they have a future together with so many secrets between them.

I loved this story. It's very well written and doesn't drag. The "curse" had a few twists that are different and just when I thought I had the story figured out it changed. Love when that happens. I recommend this book and the series.
