Cursed Out Loud
Two Bizarre Deaths. Magic In Danger. And An Ancient Grudge.
When all roads lead to murder, a death curse really isn’t your biggest bugbear…
Dark witch Cyn is on the run from a cranky employer, her inner idiot, and the family curse (not necessarily in that order).
Dan, art thief on probation, despises the paranormal with a passion. But to get his baby daughter back, he’ll suffer a whole gaggle of the gifted.
With the competition in hot pursuit and a slow-burn romance sparking between them, Cyn and Dan chase after Leonardo Da Vinci’s missing formula, supposed to protect dying magic from the fallout of modern hi-tech.
Instead they find first a corgi mongrel, then a corpse.
And a miniature Da Vinci glider.
Someone will go to extremes to get hold of Da Vinci’s formula—and if they’re unlucky, it’s the maestro himself...
“Cursed Out Loud”, the second book in the Da Vinci series of paranormal murder mystery adventures, will keep you laughing—and guessing—right to the very end of this witty fantasy. If you like Janet Evanovich, Colleen Helme, and Genevieve Cogman, this suspenseful short novel will have you rooting for team Cyn and Dan.

This is the second book in the series and I guess it just isn’t for me.
The relationship between the main characters is disjointed and I get that the FMC is worried about the MMC getting close but NOTHING is explained to him. With his history with his ex-wife, I feel like she could at least give him some broad strokes.
The ending was also confusing. I wish I could say more, but unfortunately that would be a spoiler.
I would like to thank Lisa Hansen and NetGalley for a copy of the book. All opinions are my own and my review is voluntarily given. As always, happy reading!
