Cursed (Beholder #1) by Christina Bauer (Review)

     A riveting story with action, love and vengeance, Cursed was a fantastic read. In a world of magic and necromancers, Elea is a young but powerful necromancer that is cursed by the evil necromancer Tsar. Given only five years to kill the Tsar to save herself and her best friend from death and eternal torture, she quickly becomes a powerful necromancer hell bent on murder.
     I loved it. Just like every other novel by Christina Bauer and Inkmonster, Cursed was incredibly well written. Cursed has a very good plot and each character was rounded and unique. Elea was strong, intelligent and honorable, which was great to read about. The plot unrolled at a good pace, making the storytelling smooth and entertaining. There was plenty of mystery and action to keep interest, while not overdoing it. There was surprisingly little romance but that did not take away from the story whatsoever, but I anticipate there will be more romance further in the story. I cannot wait until the next installment in the series. I definitely recommend it and give Cursed the rating of FOUR AND HALF STARS OUT OF FIVE!!!
