Cursed #4

Cursed Soul

Rate this book
Outcast, deviant, loser.

Cliff Benjamin never trusted anyone enough to share in his pain. For years, he’s hidden from what he’s done, the regrets that cause him sleepless nights, and those that he’s hurt the most. Years later, life couldn’t be better. He’s found security in his crew, building an empire with his best friends, and creating works of art on the flesh of his clients. Nothing could change the way he feels about the men and women in his life.

Kris Anne never thought she’d lose the love of her life. Trying to move on, she decides to visit her sister, Jenn, in Alabama. No matter how hard she yearns for her lost soul mate, the curse of another man plagues her thoughts day in and day out. Confused and unsure of her path in life, she wills herself to finally let go.

That is until the night of Cursed Magic’s grand reopening.

Cliff never thought his past would come back and destroy him once and for all, he thought he’d stayed hidden long enough for the memories to seep away. Now the weight of his mistakes has put those closest to him in danger…including her.

Can Cliff finally come clean and admit to the errors of his ways? Will he be able to break free of his past to keep her safe?

The only way to set yourself free is to allow others in…be honest, be loyal and always be real.

I’m a fun-loving, down-to-earth kind of chick who loves to laugh, smile, and have a good time. Born in Allentown, Pennsylvania in September 1979, I’m a true East Coast girl who loves the mountains and the beach. In Spring 2012, I became an avid reader and since have read over 300 books ranging across genres, primarily focused on romance and paranormal. Simply put, reading is my escape, a way for me to turn off the outside world and get lost in a new one. I’ve found a true love in reading and writing, and I never imagined I’d be where I am today. When I started writing my first novel in June 2013, I was anxious to see where my journey would take me. Becoming an author has been a dream come true. This is more than just a hobby for me, it’s my passion!!

T. H. Snyder cursed her way into my soul with this conclusion to the cursed series.

5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm a huge fan of T. H. Snyder. Her Cursed Love was my first book I've read by her. And it wasn't my last. If you haven't heard of her, excuse my French, where the hell have you been? Have no fear, if you haven't you can catch up to this series. Cursed Love, Cursed Ecstasy, and Cursed Fate, are already out. You will kick yourself for miss out on this wonderful series of standalones.

I loved this series so much. Each book allows for you to fall head over heels in love with each character and their girl. Each book allows for you to see how close each other is, how close they are as a family. No doubt in my mind you will fall in love with them. The structure, T. H. Snyder gives you is amazing. How connected each of the books are, makes it harder for you to let them go.

And Cliff Benjamin, is my dad my favorite. I am so excited to read his book. I fell in love with his tortured soul. I needed to know how he thought of everything, with each page turn. The depth T. H. Snyder can give to the chapters is riveting.

For Cliff, he's spent his life trying to change the person he had been, who he had turned into. Who hasn't seen themselves in an unflattering light? Who hasn't wanted to change a part of themselves? To try an change their past. But with life you have to be realistic. Changing your past isn't possible. And for Cliff? He knows it. He knows he can't go back in time, rub a lamp, get the genie to grant him a new life. So Cliff does the best thing he can possible do. More forward with his life. Find something to live for. To find passion in the world. And he found his wish. The one he hoped for. He found people he loves. One's he calls his family. A family who has a passion for the life he wants. One that gives him the freedom to create through his work. He had everything he could have asked for.
But why does it seem like something is still missing?

For Kris Anne, her life was perfect. She had the house, the soul mate not everyone finds. She had everything she could have asked for without even trying. She had the life she dreamed of.
But sometimes with dreams, comes the crashing sense of reality. It can come out of no where and flip you over like a dime. And for Kris, tragedy can be hard to take. It's hard for you to adjust to things. It's difficult for her to accept her new life. Even when her sister, Jenn asks her to come visit her. Kris accepts, but even when you try to move on. It's hard for you to get your heart to catch up with your mind.

But when fate steps in to help our two trouble souls, anything is possible.
Even love.
When two lost souls find themselves on a path of rediscover, can they find all they seek in each other?

When the past Cliff escaped from comes breathin down his neck, can he keep all those closest to him safe?
Can he keep Kris safe?

I hope you give Cursed Soul a chance.
It will stay with you,
It will lock itself inside your heart.
This is one you don't want to miss.

I was lucky enough to beta read Cursed Soul. I have to say this is my favorite book out of the whole series. To me the story flowed nicely it wasn't all bundled into one. It wasn't drawn out on each thing which can tend to a some what boring book. T.H. Snyder told their story. Got to the point but with adding things and it wasn't over done. The characters of course are wonderful but Christian upset me but he was just protective which I had to remember cause Christian is one of my favorite of the crew. With this book you get to know Cliff and really see what he went through and you learn about Kris. I am not #teamCliff oh heck I am #teamcursedcrew

T.H. Snyder: Wonderful job. My favorite of the series. Very intense. Very emotional and wonderful ending!!

I liked it, but I didn't love it. Even though they had an instant connection, I didn't feel the couple spent all that much time together....more time apart really. I enjoyed getting both of their thoughts on pivotal moments. It was a great wrap up for the series.

I absolutely loved Cliff and Kris's story. Both are such beautifully damaged souls, not knowing how to break from their pasts. It took a chance meeting where a connection and spark between them formed.

Then the unthinkable happened and Kris is right at his side. Shee felt drawn to him and needed to be where he was. Cliff and Kris grew very close from there. Kris made Cliff want to be a better man. His past was putting her and the rest of his loved ones at risk. You will have to read the book to get all of the goods, but let's just say tragedy falls upon the Cursed Crew. We are left wondering what will happen between Cliff and Kris. Will they have a chance at a future after the chaos passes?

I first fell in love T.H. Snyder with the first book in this series. The ending was just a huge kick in the balls and gave me the worst book hangover EVER! I went to the Authors invade Philly event and headed over to her table. She had a model with her, and I was totally like "OMG I LOVE YOUR BOOKS!" She asked me what I thought about the ending and I completely died. Here was this amazing author asking me what I thought about her ending. It is just so amazing how she connects with fans and creates characters we can relate to. She gives them such a level of realism and depth, you grow with them throughout the story.

This is a definite must read and once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down. I wanted so much more from this couple and I wish the book was longer!

Oh Cliff! How he has stolen my heart! In Cursed Soul you get to find out how crappy of a hand Cliff had been dealt. What his past was like and you get to see why he is the way he is. He is silently tortured by the things he has done and seen but refuses to let anyone in on his secrets.
Kris Ann had a great life full of love. She had an amazing family, a supportive sister and she married the love of her life. Tragically, Kris Ann looses her husband and is forced to keep living her life without the most important person in it.
Cliff doesn't see a future with anyone. He doesn't think he deserves it and Kris Ann can't seem to move past the death of her husband. After literally running into each other, walls start to crumble and hearts begin to open.
When the past come back threatening to ruin everything Cliff has worked for, he must open up and do whatever he can to keep the Cursed Crew and Kris Ann safe.
t.h. snyder wrapped up this series with an amazing story. Her writing flowed effortlessly and kept me wanting to read more. You got to catch up with the whole crew and get a glimpse into what they have been up to. I am certainly sad that this series is over, but this was the perfect ending to a fantastic series.

Cursed Soul
WOW! I'm not sure where to start. My heart is filled with mixed emotions. I loved this series since Cursed Love Linc and Jo's story. I feel as they are apart of my life, that's how well written this series is.

T.H. Snyder did a fantastic job with how she ended the series, it couldn't have gotten much better. I absolutely loved this book. After so long being #teamDault i will forever be #teamCliff.

Cliff and Kris's story was a wild roller coaster I'll take many times. As with all the Cursed Series there's action, suspense and hot romance. Cursed Soul was no different, but was well worth the ride.
The way T.H. Snyder describes everything your brought into the scenes from the start. I laughed and yes I ugly cried. This is such a easy flowing book you wont be able to put down.
Be prepared to be swept away with Cliff, Kris, Linc, Jo, Dault, Etty, Steve, Ashley, Christian and Jenn. Enjoy the little surprises along the way.
So grab a drink and some kleenex and jump right in to this fabulous written end of this wonderful series.
T.H. Snyder you did an awesome job with this book. You couldn't complete the series any better.  Bravo!
Highly recommended series..

Cursed Soul is an AMAZING ending to the Cursed Series. As with all the Cursed men, Cliff's story tugs at every heart string He is the man with the walls that no one can seem to break down. The crew of Cursed Magic has become his family and he will do anything to protect those he loves. After a series of horrible events, Cliff believes his past has come to find him. With no other choice, he stats letting his walls down and his family in.
Kris Anne, still grieving the death of her husband, comes to Alabama to spend some time with her sister Jess. In a night of drunken fun, she literally runs into Cliff in a bar. Both are immediately drawn in by each other's eyes. But neither are looking for any type of relationship. With every horrible event, Kris feels this intense pull towards Cliff that she can't explain. Cliff continues to push her away fearing his past will leave them both hurt. Can these two cursed souls find love with each other?
Excellent book!! I highly recommend the entire series!!

I'm a huge fan of t.h. Snyder's books. I would recommend her books to anyone. This is the final book in the Cursed Series and I'm telling you she blew me away with this book. My first ever t.h. Snyder book was Cursed Love I was always team Linc and I never thought any of the guys would replace him for me but she did it with Cliff. If you haven't read her books you need to now. She is one of my all time favorite authors and her Cursed Series is one of my all time favorite series. It breaks my heart that this is the last book in this series cause I didn't want it to end, I feel like I've lost friends but this is one series that will always stick with me. I had a lot of emotions while reading this book,one minute I would be crying, the next laughing and at some point I wanted to throw my iPad. I understand some of the struggles Cliff goes through in his book. I absolutely love all of the characters in this series. This is one must read book this year and one of my top favorites for the year.

This is the final book in The Cursed Series. We have been waiting for Cliff, and boy do we ever get Cliff <3 <3 <3
If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would !!
WOW !!
Every time I am thinking "This is my favorite" she hits me with another and BAM, i love another ... talk about book boyfriend worship .... I love Cliff . LOVE LOVE LOVE !!! He breaks my heart and puts it back together. And Kris, ya know I really don't hate her... and rarely do chicks ever do it for me.
This book is very well written and the characters ... well, they are family to each other as well as the readers.
I can't say enough, READ THIS SERIES .... Its fabulous, amazing, fantastic !!! You will absolutely fall in love a little bit more with each book, each story, each hardship. Some seriously fantastic, sexy men and the women that love them.

I had the pleasure to receive an ARC to the final book in the Cursed Series. CURSED SOUL is Cliff's story, he came from a bad childhood, father in prison, mother a druggie and drunk. Once he turned 18 he left the state for a new life, but even though he wanted a better life he wasn't dealt a great hand. Falling into the things he never wanted getting out from under the drug lords came with a life or death situation. Thinking that's all behind him, he is where he should be with his family at Cursed Magic. You never can run from your pass. But while trying to deal with the mess that has found him, someone he never thought he wanted enters his world and turns him inside out. Is Kris his saving grace, can he help her move pass her loss, will they all be able to find their Happy Ever After. I'm sad to see this series come to an end. It sure was a Wild and Crazy Ride.

I'm in the minority here, but I place this as a solid three star only.

The conversations, whether spoken aloud or internally seemed disjointed to me many times though out the book. The dialogue was a little more refined than felt realistic. Don't even get me started on when Jenn would say, 'your pretty little mind' or 'your pretty little face', how condescending.
The relationship between Cliff and Kris wasn't developed enough for them to have such strong feelings, they were barely shown spending any time with each other.

The biggest drawback for me was the rough editing. There were so many mistakes. A few I can easily overlook, but when they are so plentiful that they pull me from the story it is a glaring problem.
I really am sorry to have to write a review like this because I like T.H. Snyder and usually enjoy her work.

I was privileged enough to receive an ARC of Cursed Soul. I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed with any of the books I've read by T.H Snyder. I always thought I'd be #teamlinc and nothing was going to change that until I read Cursed Soul. getting to finally read Cliff's story was an emotional Rollercoaster for me. His story and where he came from and how he got to where he is today, will get you so into the book that you won't be able to put it down. I was sad to see this series come to an end, because it's my favorite series of her by far. Make sure you have tissue in hand once you get closer to the end....I needed them.

As always, you did an incredible job, T.h Snyder. I highly recommend Cursed Soul!

What can I say about "Cursed Soul" the ending to my Favorite series ever.... The Cursed Series. I'm sad to see it end but T. H. Snyder not only gave us Cliff and Kris's story she wrapped up the conclusion with a big fat "Pink" bow!! #pinkcrew
LOVED IT!!!
I am #teamlinc all the way but #teamcliff came in a close second. That boy melted my heart and he will melt yours too. Cliff and Kris are two cursed souls who are drawn to each other. Both have had so much heartache in there life but there strength is amazing!! Will they find love and mend there cursed souls??? Well I know but you have to read Cursed Soul and find out...One thing I can say you wont be disappointed!

The tears.. I can't believe that this is over. :(
I wish that I could give this more than 5 stars! This is, by far, my favorite of this series and I loved every single one of them!! I am so sad that this series is over.. and those aren't the first tears spent on this book. Keep tissues handy. I laughed to the point of tears, and I sobbed until my body ached.. Then, of course, Ms. Snyder healed my heart. For a story that is nothing like my life, I could relate to Cliff like no other character that I have read about recently. Perfect ending to an amazing series. The Cursed series is a must-read. All of T.H. Snyder's books are.

Perfect end to the Cursed Series!
This was by far the best book yet.
Cliff was introduced to us in past books and cursed Soul is his story. This book gives you the insight you need to see why he is the way he is and how he overcomes his demons.
I laughed until I cried. I cried until I couldn't breathe. And, there were times I had to take a deep breath before I could read on.
Amazing end to a fantastic series.
Grab some tissue, a glass of wine, and find yourself a comfy spot then get started. It's a page turner and a book you won't want to put down.
5 stars!

A heartbreaking, gut wrenching, emotionally charged story. I love Cliff and his untraditional upbringing. I love Kris and her heartbreaking story. Their story is a blessing in disguise. I absolutely loved it! I love how they included the entire crew. I love how Kris was welcomed into the family without questions. I love how no mater what tragic past Cliff had, he was still part of the family. I just love it.....period! Great book, job well done.

Epic end to the series!!

After reading the series over again, I'm suffering from a book hangover. I started this series in 2014, so waiting for the final book was hell. I'm a impatient person, but so totally worth the wait. It was a great ending to the series, but I'm going to miss the Cursed Crew.

I've always been Team Dault (2nd book of series)but Cliff is giving him a run for his money. 4th book in the series, but fresh new story with the the same sassy characters. Story line is fast paced, grabs you from the first page, and makes it hard to put down. Love this series and this one did not disappoint.

Cliff doesn't feature very prominently in the other books, so it was easy to go in without a pre-formed opinion. Again, for much of the book the H and the h are not together, in fact, don't even really know each other. It was hard to believe their romance, but it wasn't as contrived as the other books. Everything is wrapped up nicely with a bow though and HEA's all around.

Can he keep Kris safe?

I hope you give Cursed Soul a chance.
It will stay with you,
It will lock itself inside your heart.
This is one you don't want to miss.

CURSED SOUL is the fifth book in the Cursed series. They do need to be read in order.

I have loved this entire series, but this may be my favorite story of all. This is where all of the “Cliff” hangers have been leading us (okay it’s a bad pun, but how often does the name Cliff lend itself to this one… and we all know I love bad puns.)

Cliff and Kris put me through the wringer, but I wouldn’t have missed this book for anything.

I suggest this series to anyone who loves bad boys, ink, and true love.

I hate to say goodbye to this crew, but I know that T.H. Snyder will bring us something wonderful again soon. So goodbye to Cursed Ink and awaiting the next T.H. Crew.

Note: while I was given this book as an ARC copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.



Title: CURSED SOUL
Series: Cursed #4
Category /Genre: Contemporary Romance
Received from: T.H. Snyder (as part of her Beta team)
Recommended for: 18+ due to sexual content
Grammar/editing: book received as an unedited ARC / errors excused

I don't know where to start with this one...it's the end of my crew and my series. This story took a life of its own. As soon as I thought I knew where Cliff was taking me, he flipped a switch and went into another direction. Cursed Soul is simply amazing, not because I'm the author, but because there is so much emotion, struggle and...soul. I love Kris and Cliff's journey and the strength they found to make it through some of the most difficult times. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have writing it.

Get Cursed!!!
