The Cure - One: Blue Version
Los Angeles. 2012. After a beaten-down, sickly cog visits a faith healer, she develops a dark wish fulfillment power that stokes her appetite for sex and vigilante-style revenge. Plagued by a crushing illness that no doctor can seem to diagnose or cure, dejected-Hollywood-working-stiff, Evan MacKenna , takes a friend's advice and visits a faith healer who lives in the hills. "Everything changed after I saw Agatha," assures her friend, Jimmy. "I survived. You will too." What seems like an other-worldly miracle, restoring Evan to the most virile and healthy version of herself, soon shifts to something darker. Evan does not just feel The Cure ... she feels it... transforming her... into something else entirely. "The illness, the one that almost killed me, or almost killed my soul, was also the thing that brought me here. A new home in my city of angels. Heads on stakes. Enemies impaled. All of this revenge surrounding what used to elude me - Power. Until now. One visit to the bird streets and everything changed. They say absolute power corrupts. Absolutely. Yes, it does." Splashes of dark humor. Adults only. facebook.com/TheCureBookSeries

About the author
M.C. Foley
3 books5 followersMC Foley was born in Cebu, Philippines, raised in Virginia and resides in West Hollywood, CA. After winning second place in an elementary school poetry contest, Foley's fate was sealed.
From that day forward, Foley and the written word would never part. Years later, after winning a poetry slam competition in Oakland, MC Foley paid rent with the winnings, and began touring as a performance poet, doing shows across the U.S. and overseas, including tours through the UK and Denmark, where Foley performed on Denmark's national radio station, Radio P3.
Foley then wrote/acted lead in "The Coconut Masquerade," a play written entirely in verse and produced by Bindlestiff Studio in San Francisco's SOMA district. Segments of "Coconut," were featured in theaters around the country including the national Hip Hop Theater Festival and LA's Greenway Court Theater.
Upon moving to LA, MC Foley continued writing plays, screenplays and teleplays until one awful Saturday in November when a phone call reminded Foley exactly just how fleeting our time is on this earth. After that day, the voices of Rossa, Izzie and Poe, as well as the multitude of stories that weave into The Ice Hotel, grew swiftly.
Until they were too loud to be ignored.

Revenge is a gift best served cold
As I read this I was reminded of Edgar Allen Poe The dance of Red Death, this is a modern version of an old revenge done right story. Short and well written this was a very enjoyable read, hope to see more from this writer has a good deal of sex in this might not be something that younger readers show read. Dark Fiction done with a twisted sense of justice.

Watch out now, Evans McKenna is serving up karma justice... but at a price.
Ever have been at a point in your life where the BS just keeps rising and people get away with things they don't deserve. Ever been fed up and wished that people serving injustice gets justice? Well, "The Cure" is what you need.
Evan Mckenna is sh!t-talkin', street-wise, hard-workin' woman living in Los Angeles. She like countless others are trying to make her dreams a reality while in the process is trying to be independent by making ends meet. But with the struggle comes the unfair treatment by those who abuse power around her. With an unsuspecting gift given to her by a healer, Evans now have the ability to WISH revenge on the most heinous.With each appetite for revenge met, another appetite sets in and it gets x-rated.
Foley writes in a no nonsense, no flowery type of way. She gives it to you straight and her language is that of a woman who breaks any "lady-like" rule which I appreciate. It is still descriptive and eloquent in a unique way. But don't pick up this book if you get too embarrassed. The story is much like an HBO drama series with gritty humor.
Start reading this story and start rooting for a new kind of heroine!

What a fantastic read! This is the type of book that grabs you at the start and doesn't let go until you are out of breath wanting more. The book centers around an unlikely heroine in Evan McKenna who is given an amazing opportunity to inflict revenge with just a simple thought. The way the main character is developed and portrayed created an instant connection between me and her. I understood where she was coming from and thoroughly enjoyed how she dealt with her new powers and the inevitable changes it brought in her life. Then there are the supporting characters that we get short glimpses of: the healer who gives her the dark power, Jimmy the friend/lover, and her father-like landlord, all of which add to the story with each step.
The only drawback for me, is how quick the story ended. It is obvious that the book is being written into a series and more stories are to come, but at the end of "The Cure" I just kept wanting more.

First off, this book has quite a bit of sex in it. Usually I don't like books that have a lot of sex, but this one was great!! The sex in the book worked. (You'll know what I mean when you read this book).
I was hooked on the very first page. I couldn't put it down!! It was just an amazing book! I wasn't expecting to like it that much.
I loved, loved Evan & her thoughts. She is a kick ass female who doesn't take anything from anyone except Jimmy who I hated =/
I just love the whole plot. It's not an original idea but Foley makes it her idea (if that makes sense). It works really well!
I'd definitely recommend this book!! And I can't wait until the next one in the series =D

MC Foley's latest paranormal novella takes the revenge fantasy enthusiast to a dark, twisted and sexy (there's lots of explicit, juicy and blood-pressure raising sex in this story) place. The opening dedication sets the stage and tone, and then its off to the races. Foley's crisp writing draws you in and takes you on a depraved ride.
A revenge tale with a reluctant heroine, THE CURE covers the underbelly of wish fulfillment with a linguistic panache that keeps you turning the pages (or in my case flicking my finger on the cool-to-the-touch glass of my Kindle).
This present-tense narrative (a refreshing choice) delves into the mind of Evan McKenna, an aspiring artist and wage-slave (which they all are until they breakthrough), who is given a gift that keeps on giving, but there is a price that her soul, not just her body, have to pay. The inner voice of Evan McKenna will put you in a stranglehold as she battles with her double-edged gift - the titular "cure."
Where Foley excels is in her characterization of the desperate underclass of struggling creative types in Los Angeles, who long suffer for their art in a cloud of charlatans, power abusers and sycophants, and soul sucking demands of the commercial marketplace and its pillaging of bankrupt ideas. While this isn't explicit in the story, it's right beneath the warp-speed narrative. If you blink you might miss it, although it's baked right in to the climax.
Speaking of climaxes, THE CURE is like a cup running over of sexual energy. While never being overly graphic, the exceptionally well-crafted the sex scenes oscillate between drenching you in the experiential nature of sex and the torrid carnal physicality of it. Those scenes get in your head and your loins and stay there...
Sex in THE CURE has a purpose, it's almost perversely pleasurable because it's not heedless and emotional for the characters. It's part of the quid pro quo that many will tell you is exactly how sex is reduced in Los Angeles; just a commodity or currency. Foley captures the desperate nature of sex as a tool in a disquieting, yet thoroughly captivating way.
The situations and stories about the people in THE CURE are touched with the sad taint of despair that reminds me of the pitiless characters in DAY OF THE LOCUST (still one of the top Tinseltown gut punches and is psychologically relevant today for actors and other creatives who make the pilgrimage to the jaundiced entertainment meccca) in that they are the unglamorous regular folk who live in Los Angeles (not "Hollywood") and claw at the stained glass windows on the outside of the black steel and barbed wire fence that surrounds the Dream Factory.
The scant description, yet pure vitriol that McKenna spews at her "betters" leaves a little bit to be desired... yet "the proletariat vs the suits" POV that McKenna wields with an assault-n-battery-style force gives this shortcoming a "pass". The media, over the last four years, has done an effective job highlighting the seeming limitless apathy that those at the top of the corporate food chain have for their underlings and minions. Sure, we want to know more about the Chairman, Tom and Brenda (and even Wendy), but their one dimensional characterizations fit with how Evan sees these people - they are, in fact, NOT people in her mind, but Simon Legree-type whip-wielding overseers with capricious and unfathomable whims, motivations, secrets and desires.
As the first part of a series of novellas, THE CURE leaves you yearning for more - lots of unanswered questions (but they're carefully composed to be revealed [hopefully] in subsequent installments) when you turn the final page, but you're immediately ready to find out what's next.

From http://readingandwritingurbanfantasy....
At A Glance
I have never read a book like this before. It was frightening, sexy, and crude. Three things which I happen to like.
The Good
This was such an odd book. I didn't really know what to think of it at first. But the more I read, the more I became obsessed with it. It's just so damn fascinating.
Evan is a very interesting character. She has a lot of crappy and scary things happen to her and her need for revenge grows with each a-hole who messes with her. Even when her thirst for blood (figuratively) increases, she is easily relatable. I think most of us wishes we had a way to get revenge on the people who wronged us, or just bad people in general. Evan's evolution to the person getting crapped on to the tormentor was very believable and interesting to watch.
Jimmy seemed like a great friend at first who kindly shared his new power with a friend, but we also see the lust for punishing bad people change him dramatically. His decent into evil is far more aggressive. I am still scared for Evan because I don't know how she is going to deal with him down the road (if this becomes a series).
I love Foley's take on the bad apples of society. We get to meet some truly evil and despicable people. But even with these scumbags, The Cure makes us ask ourselves: is it fair for one person to become judge, jury, and executioner if they are the wronged party? If you had the means, would you wish bad things to happen to people who wronged you or wronged others?
The Bad
Even though this book fascinated me, there was really no solid plot. Evan and Jimmy have the power to make vengeful wishes come true. So they utilize this new talent. And that's it.
The Snuggly
The Cure has very adultish sex. It's rough, a little scary, and darkly erotic. Jimmy is in charge and Evan likes is that way. Until she doesn't and Jimmy becomes too cocky. I so wonder what's going to happen next between these two. Also, expect a lot of bad language.
Final Thoughts
Foley is a great story teller. The Cure will be a hit and miss for a lot of people. It's rough around the edges but it gets the point across. It's gritty in all the right places. I hope there is a book two. Recommended.
Quotes
"Well, I am crazy," he says. "So are you. We all are. But now you and I have a way to channel it. To make it work for us."
*****
I'm not sure if I believe him, but I can't risk going against him. And I've already admitted it to myself...he scares me. If it's even slightly true that I don't know what else we are capable of...then I have no idea what he would do to me if I didn't obey.

MC Foley weaves together a fast paced story of vengeance and humanity.
Evan Mackenna is a cog part of the Hollywood machine that she desperately loathes. Having not feeling well, she is recommended to visit a faith healer to eradicate her of her ailment. After her visit with the faith healer, she is endowed with a mysterious power that provides her to perform vigilante justice against transgressions of societal degenerates.
These are the things I appreciate about MC Foley’s approach in this work: it is honest, exciting, and symmetrical. Honest, in that, her plot is a commentary towards a society that is becoming degenerate or has always been degenerate. Exciting, is how, Foley engineers the rectification of the archetypal scum of society. Lastly, it is symmetrical; the story reveals heroines/heroes in any society are prone to commit vulgarity no matter how good intentioned the deed may be. Evan Mackenna, like the victims of her justice, is just as flawed but where her victims lacked in compassion, she did not. Evan is a heroine with human qualities and human problems who solves them in human ways; she is each and every one of us who has wished that we could cure the ailments of a failing society.
My only complaint with this work is that I wish it had been longer than 160 pages.

When I first open this book and I seen the dedication page I knew I was going to like this book!
"Dedicated to Every Motherfucker I ever wanted to impale"
Evan is slowly feeling herself die with a mysterious illness that no doctors have been able to diagnose. When her friend Jimmy starts telling her of a healer that she needs to go to Evan figures why not nothing else has helped. As time goes on Evan starts to notice that she got more from this healer than she was expecting, and she is using it to get revenge on the people whom have gotten on her bad side. The high Evan feels from using this new power overtakes her body and really amps up her sexual drive.
I love how relate able Evan is, who hasn't had co workers or random strangers that has really put a damper on your day. Evan is able to get revenge with her new power and is not afraid to use it to help her friends/family as well. The interaction between the main character and the secondary characters is seamless. You get to see the relationship between Evan and Jimmy grow and take a twist I wasn't expecting and also her father like character Brooks which is also her landlord. I would have loved for this book to be longer but I'm sure it setting up for a nice sequel that I will be getting a copy of.

Feeling sick Evan visits a faith healer to cure her. She soon learns she has come away with much more than just feeling better. She can makes things happen with a thought. Awesome power right? She soon starts getting revenge on those that have done her or others wrong. But where does justice end and evil begin is something you may ask yourself as you read this.
Evan is such an awesome character in this book. She makes you think just how far would you go for revenge. Let me just say she rocks at it. As the book progresses you really get to see her character grow. Some things I didn't agree with she did but others I was cheering her on. The secondary characters really help the story flow as well adding their own blend to the mix.
Want a quick, dark, paranormal thriller? Well it is. My only complaint with it is it was to short. I wanted it to keep going and hated to see it end.

Reading "The Cure" was an amazing experience. It somehow managed to accomplish three things simultaneously with expert craftsmanship: It perfectly captures the not-so-quiet desperation of so many people literally clawing to hang onto the cliffs at the edge of the entertainment industry here in Los Angeles. The fears and anxieties of the main character are so specific and yet so common. It's so easy to slip into her shoes, so when the time comes for her enemies to get their comeuppance you cheer "Hell ya!" right along with her. And the genius reversal of an Aleister Crowley-style sexmagick makes for some surprisingly vivid and intense erotic writing. My only critique would be that I think our protagonist is one or two victims short, but maybe we'll see them get theirs in a richly-earned sequel. Well recommended.

Savage violence paired with disreputable sex made me cringe at work, prompting me to hide in my car while reading on my lunch break.
"Through the wall, I can hear quiet moaning, a bit of gurgling and heaving, choking and spitting up. This continues for a few minutes and, as it does, I feel polar emotions of anxiety and thrill. The anxiety, however, quickly passes. In my gut, I know I forced it there. Because the truth is... "

This is just the beginning, easily a set up for a series. I encourage you to embrace this dirty indulgence just in time for Halloween

Overall, I liked this story of a woman finding her power. Kind of a twisted, revenge story of sorts, with some very well executed moments of sexual adventure. I found myself wanting to know a bit more about the woman before she got "tough" (she's a pretty hard, cynical woman throughout the story) but that only serves as a desire to read a second book, it Ms. Foley decides to write one.
If you're cool with a strong female character, well-written but strong sexual content, and like a bit of revenge and retribution in the stories you read, I recommend "The Cure."

This novella is really dark, edgy and sexy. It was totally not what I expected --and that's a good thing. The premise is all about wish fulfillment --the protagonist is just like you and me --an office drone/peon who realizes that she can make some of her (darker) dreams come true. But it comes at a price! Full of hot sex and a bit of rock n roll, try this book out. It will literally take you just an hour to read!

bad ass! can't wait for the next one's!

Very dark and very graphic, "The Cure" is an intense, short, and memorable read for any horror fan looking for something a little bit different.
