I can't believe it's all over, but I'm desperately hoping for a little more ;-) Out of everyone in the brotherhood, I'm not sure who my favorite might by. I've loved them all for different reasons. It was definitely one of my favorite parts of this was series, was learning about each member of the Forgotten Brotherhood and their amazing and bada** partners!

Bjorn definitely has one of the most heartbreaking backstories and I've been so eager to learn more. And not going to lie, I loved having Anja back with him. A reunion of sorts that was absolutely everything. Gosh, to read that moment again for the first time, my heart was beating in overtime because of what it would mean to Bjorn... to have his beloved back in his life after all this time.

It's a bit of a tangled web of who is trying to do what, but I was such a huge fan to get more glimpses of the entire Brotherhood. I love when they're all together and could probably read many more books of them doing what they do.

I hope this isn't quite farewell to this series, but I've enjoyed every single bit of it!

How amazing that Bjorn is finally getting his HEA!!! I was hoping this would happen after reading the last book and then here it is!

These books keep getting better and better as they are published and waiting for the next one to arrive is excruciating to say the least.

This series is one to pick up and read from the absolute beginning because they all flow very well from one to the next.

Please keep these coming! I devoured this in one sitting without even stopping.

Bjorn has been along for a long time. He went mad after finding his family mutilated and called out for assistance from Odin. As usual, when Gods are involved, his plea doesn't go to plan and he ends up cursed, becoming the thing he feared most, a monster!

Bjorn found a new outlet for his bloodthirst with the Forgotten Brotherhood. He uses his lethality to take out the worst of the Supernaturals who prey on humans. But when he is given a bounty by Odin himself he never reckoned on meeting the one person he can never forget - his wife!

Anja didn't shirk her duties within Freya's Hall. She struck a bargain for her children to be reborn and live a new life. But she was sucked into a void and then spat out into a whole new world. When she is attacked she has a giant of a saviour - one she knows all too well. What are the gods up to? Did they know Bjorn and Anya were husband and wife? Was it just a quirk of fate? Can they escape the regulations that run the deity's realms and stay together?

OMW what a way to reunite these lost loves! I was heartbroken getting to know their back story.
I loved the way that whilst Anya was totally naive about how things work in the modern world, she wasn't totally out of the loop as she learned from newer inhabitants of Freya's Hall. The introduction to the Market nearly made me weep! Maccus & Morrigan and Asher & Jo are around to assist with a little surprise visit or two from others you might recognise from the other books!

Twists, turns, Ah-ha moments, and literally tearful moments. I'm genuinely loving this world and I'm sure I'll enjoy whoever comes next - hopefully Sven!!

When Odin orders Bjorn to kill a soul that escaped Freya’s hall, Bjorn never expects that the escapee is his long-lost wife Anja. Bjorn mourned the brutal murder of his wife and children and raged in grief for years. How can he now send his wife back to Freya for punishment?

Freya has no idea how she ended up in this new world. All she remembers is an endless void and then a bustling city. When Bjorn rescues her from some unsavory characters, Anja is stunned. Like Bjorn, she resigned herself to a solitary existence, so reuniting with him is like a gift from the gods. However, someone wants Anja dead, and there is nowhere to hide. Can Bjorn and Anja survive the will of the gods and figure out who is messing with the Forgotten Brotherhood before it’s too late?

This is a fantastic addition to the Forgotten Brotherhood series. I was hoping for Bjorn’s story and loved finding out what happened to him and the rest of the brotherhood. Bjorn never really got over the death of his beloved wife and children and spent so much time avenging their deaths and living in a haze of rage and revenge. He was on the brink of losing his mind he was so riddled with grief. Knowing how deeply he cared for Anja made their reunion all the more lovely. Their chemistry is off the charts, and their long-lasting love is unconditional.

Of course, many obstacles stand in the way of their happy ending, including murderous and meddlesome gods and the reappearance of someone from their past, but Bjorn and Anja didn’t come this far to end up apart! I love how fiercely they fight for each other and their love and how they face their battles head-on.

I also love that all of the main couples from the first three books come to Bjorn’s aid in this book. Ash and Jo, Alexei and Cassie, and, of course, Maccus and Morrigan staunchly support Bjorn and Anja to help figure out who is behind Anja’s unexpected reappearance. They also stand with Bjorn and Anja against the most dangerous of foes. I love this found family, and Bjorn and Anja realize that, though they miss their family most desperately, their found family is quite special too.

Bjorn Cursed is an action-packed and engrossing addition to the Forgotten Brotherhood series, and I can see many ways in which the author could expand the world. (Yes, please! I need Sven’s story!) Each story in the series can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend starting with the first book if you want to fully understand the context of the plot and the characters’ actions. Thanks so much to NetGalley, Entangled Publishing, and the author for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Since the last book I was hoping for Bjorn to get his own book and it was so worth the wait. His story was so sad it just tore at my heart and I wanted him to get his own HEA.

His heart stuttered, and he blinked, unable to believe what he was seeing—it was the face that filled his dreams.

Lucifer is up to no good again he just will not leave the Brotherhood alone.

Anna is a strong woman and she’s been through hell.
She is a fitting mate for Bjorn.

“Thought you might need some help, and I was right. Aren’t you lucky I’m such a giver?”

All of our favorites are back.

“You’re worst nightmare,” he shot back. “That never gets old.” He grinned at Bjorn.

Another great edition to this series full of surprises and humor.

OMG, The Forgotten Brotherhood is still getting better and better! My heart had broken for Bjorn in Burning Ash, hearing he lost his wife and children centuries earlier to a brutal murder. So, when N.J. Walters confirmed that the next story would be about Bjorn I did a happy dance. And when that purple cover came across Netgalley (I mean, you can't miss it, awesome cover) I nearly dropped everything and started on Bjorn's story. And what a story: after nearly succumbing to madness from his grieving and trying to avenge his slaughtered family by turning the murderers and their families into werewolves, Bjorn has resigned to be all by himself. Lonely and without any light in his life, only working as an assissin to take out the worst of people (or paranormal creatures).
When Odin summons him to take out a soul, who has escaped Freya's hall, he doesn't hesitate: obedience to Odin is paramount. Until he realizes he is forced to kill: his Anja. She has reappeared in New York, without any knowledge how she got there. Bjorn realizes the gods are again messing with the Forgotten Brotherhood, so he contacts his fellow Brothers. So yay, Maccus (yep, from Fury Unleashed) and his tough-as-nails Morrigan, make regular appearances throughout the story. And this time, also Alexei and Cassie (from Arctic Bite) appear on the scene. And of course, it wouldn't be the same with Asher and Jo (from Burning Ash).
Together, they try to find out, who is after them and why. And just when you think it can't get any better, N.J. Walters creates just another twist and turn in the story, which keeps you guessing. And of course, I can't wait to see if N.J. Walters will give Sven a story as well. In all, five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Again, another decent addition to the Forgotten Brotherhood series. I love when a series is a collection of independent stories set within the same world that can be read as standalones. This compliments the previous books nicely and effectively adds to the prior developments.

Which makes me sad that I am so torn with this review and rating, because while I found the content of this story to actually be my favourite of the series so far, I found the narrative/writing to be a bit on the weaker side. I would have liked some sort of build-up in the beginning.

I love that this is a story of a husband and wife reuniting and no insta-love can be found, but everything in the synopsis happens within the first five pages. I would have loved to learn more about Anja and Bjorn separately, seeing them struggle on their own, as it would have made their reunion that much sweeter.

But overall, this installment is fun and entertaining and the perfect scratch for my paranormal itch.
