Rate this book
She’s not their long lost fairy princess. She’s their executioner.

Madeline is cursed. Cursed to kill with a touch, and to feel every last emotion of her victims. She was sure her life couldn’t get any worse until she’s kidnapped in the middle of the night and thrust into a world straight out of her darkest nightmares. Part of her wants to find her way back, but deep down she knows she’s too dangerous to live in the normal world.

Her indecision traps her in a mystery not even her kidnappers understand, but her dark gift may just be the key to everything. She’ll have to figure it out fast, because the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

Content warning: some darker themes are present in these books. Not for the faint of heart!

This set includes:
-Death Cursed
-Collide and Seek

This was again needed as a quick read at night, it was ok. The writing was a little rough, I think it was a self published, it was missing some polish on the writing an editor would have brought. The story was interesting, Norse Gods and all. The book ended on quite the cliff hanger, so even though some parts were a tough read I think I am going to be forced to read the rest of the series.
