Cursed
His past threatens to drive his mate into the arms of another.
Greyson West’s reaction to the news that he’s going to be a father isn’t exactly his finest moment. When his mate, Etti, shares she’s pregnant, all he can think about is how much danger she and the baby will be in as long as his pack of outlaw shifters are still hunting him. Fearful he can’t outrun his dark past, Greyson foolishly admits he’s not ready to be a father, sending his mate directly into the arms of her over-protective best friend, Wes.
Etti is terrified by the prospects of motherhood as a wolf shifter and matters are made worse when Wes admits he’s in love with her. Tempers flare when both Wes and Greyson fight for Etti’s heart. Whom will she choose to help her raise her baby? The best friend who has never let her down or the unpredictable shifter who owns her heart?

Absolutely entertaining from beginning to end and full of a bit of everything. Characters that are loyal, fun, likable and fiercely protective of each other.
In this book 2 of the crescent city wolves, we find out about Ettie’s life growing up and her parents secrets. How her best friend of 20 years protected her once he found out what was happening to her.
One of the friends of the group fiercely thinks he’s in love, with another friend of their group and it takes A LOT, for him to finely realize his real mate has been under his nose for a while now. Being there for him in whatever way he’s needed.
The rogue wolves are back and not for anything good. They’re evil, destructive, menacing rogues who kill indiscriminately and their plans are not good. They weren’t expected back for a year, when (I forgot what they call it), so I’ll call it the killing moon. It’s when they can go around killing humans as payback for almost wiping out the werewolves back in the day. This happens but once a year. Most wolves don’t practice this heinous activity anymore, just some rogue packs.
An excellent book full of love, romance, abuse, murder, attempted murder, violence, steamy sex, plotting and more. It’s a very good book and it has it’s surprises and anticipation.

1.5 DNF Stars
Ugh. I knew this would happen. Heroine tells hero she is pregnant, he's in shock and freaks out a little about it, but never says he doesn't want it or anything bad like that. She gives him less than a minute to process it then runs away telling Wes he abandoned her and isn't ready for a baby which didn't happen AT ALL. Then she all of a sudden starts thinking how it would be if her and Wes were together and raising the baby together and starts wondering how it would be to kiss him... Umm you say if your mate was so in love you he wouldn't have freaked out, but if you were so in love, you wouldn't be running into another man's arms ready to be with him, which is really a b**chy move seeing as they are currently staying inside the house of someone who has been helping them and is kind of in a relationship with Wes too. Then maybe like a hour later, the hero shows back up to apologize and say he will do whatever it takes and wants to be with the heroine. She ignores him, because apparently him being in shock for 30 seconds is reason to not give him a chance even though he is the dad, and break up with him even though they're mates. Ya, okay. And this is where I part with this series.

lead characters are on the run from the hunt and fed up. A stubborn misguided friend makes life very difficult.

~REVIEW🖋~
The Quick and Dirty: Jealousy. Violence. Transformations.
While the blurb centers on Etti and Grey's story continuing (which it does), I feel like this is Wes' story. Wes thinks he's in love with his best friend. Except his best friend is now pregnant with her shifter fiance's baby and Wes is devastated. He's sure that Grey is the absolute worst choice for Etti and he takes out his frustration at the bar, until Cali, the nurse who he's been on-again off-again with, becomes the person he turns to for solace. Little does he know, she's more than just a balm for his ego.
The first portion of the book is dedicated to the relationship between Wes, Cali, Etti and Grey. There's a lot of angst and miscommunication going on. The action comes toward the end -- action that leads to some secrets being revealed and big transformations that will no doubt affect the next book in the series!
Looking forward to see what happens next!

This book picked up right where the first one ended. I was a bit surprised how fast the conflict between Etti and Grey was as well as the book mainly focusing on the conflict between Etti and Wes. It gave so depth to characters that were introduced in the last book as well as brought in Grey’s mom and brother. It was a bit short and felt almost like a novella. New information was dropped in this about Etti and Grey that will effect their baby. They gave the story a new spin to the conflict with the Hunt that is clearly meant to be a story arc for the series. I was on the fence after the first book, but I’ll continue the series after this to see how this new story angle goes.

Cursed by Bella Night is the second book in the Crescent City Wolves series. In this book, Etti and Grey are a newly mated couple who are planning a life together while still on the rogue shifter pack that wants to end their lives. They have more to keep safe from the rogues than just themselves now when they realize that Etti is expecting. This puts even more stress on their situation. This story is full of suspense, mystery, and adventure while this couple fights for their future. Will they be together or apart. I loved this book. I just couldn’t put it down. The characters are so enchanting, the story fast paced, and the relationships have plenty of steam. This is paranormal romance you will love reading. Cursed is an exciting suspense filled tale about the different types of love.

The author has outdone herself with these characters. Just when you think you know them, they surprise you. The story continues with Grey and Etti, which is exactly what readers of Book One need. Twists and turns keep you reading.

Lots of struggle for all the characters in this book. They are all wrestling with their demons while trying to chose their new path. Lots of arguments and drama. Hoping for the best but trouble comes again just when they’ve sorted out their futures. Danger is near and it’s the unborn baby that’s bringing it.
