Manipulation: The Curse of Kisses

Rate this book
Set in the “Ghost Universe” - this is the first chapter in the haunting Ghost Saga.

In a world where desire dances with the supernatural, The Curse of Kisses begins with the story of Nisha, a young woman yearning not just to be seen, but to be unforgettable. Tired of blending into the background, Nisha seeks a transformation that would make the world stop and take notice.

Her search leads her to Vashika, a mysterious enchantress and crystal ball reader, known for her unholy gift. She can awaken dormant desires and amplify emotions through her ancient spells and dark magic.

On Nisha's impulsive request, Vashika casts a spell that changes everything. Suddenly, Nisha becomes magnetic and irresistible. Strangers, friends, even those who once looked past her, now find themselves bewitched, confessing their love, obsession, and sometimes… their darkest cravings. But what begins as a thrilling rise into the spotlight slowly unravels into something far more complex and dangerous.

As the boundaries between attraction and possession begin to blur, Nisha must confront the true cost of being desired by all.

Some spells are too powerful to be undone. And some desires… aren't entirely human.

•The book explores unsettling journey of the life of a young girl (Nisha), who dares to seek change but finds herself ensnared in a web of unintended consequences.

•This book feels like rollercoaster ride. The book is not just about love, it’s about mind control, power, manipulation, desire, seduction, self discovery and how emotions can be used as weapons. The story dives deep into the psychology of relationships, showing how trust can be manipulated and how love and trust isn’t always as pure as it seems.

•The book makes you question people’s intentions, are they loving, or are they just controlling? The writing was engaging, and the themes felt dark yet realistic. And keeps you engage from the first page.

•It's a story about between right and wrong, love and obsession, and freedom and control in an erotic way. This book is not a light heart read like a typical love story or not even a comforting romance, but that’s what makes it interesting. It’s intense and thought provoking, it explores the darker side of relationships, where love and control get mixed up.

•I liked how it showed the fine line between affection and manipulation. What stood out to me was how the story kept making me questions too. The psychological depth was impressive, and the twists kept things unpredictable. Just when I thought I understood a character, their actions would proves something else.

•If you enjoy books that explore the complexities of human emotions and relationships, you’ll find this one fascinating. But if you’re looking for a sweet, simple, happy romance, this might not be for you and also not for who hates lgbtq. Highly suggest to those who loves to watch or read GL(Girl's love) or BL(Boy's love).

Waiting for next part!😩✨
