One of the things I liked about this book was the romance between Ember and Hayden, alone, no romantic triangle. So, I think I should clear up that I really do like this book, I just tend to get completely lost in well written books no matter how difficult the topic and I have to be honest how it made me feel and also see past (or accept) the feelings I felt because maybe they are the feelings the author wants to convey. So happy it's a non-series for two reasons: one, I don't have to wait for the next book to be released and two, I don't how I would've been able to continue it, so two defeats reason one. The book is called Cursed so I guess Armentrout did the title justice, it's not a sweet story about a girl whose skin kills with just one touch, it's a heart-wrenching emotional explosion.
She alone has to deal with what's happened to her and make sure her family is safe and on top of all that, she has to figure out if she can control her ability. Although, I pleaded for her to reign in her emotions because I saw that she needed perspective and wasn't going to get it with all that baggage of feelings she was carrying around. I felt Embers emotions every step of the way, when Ember was pissed off, I felt pissed off. Which ever way you look at it, Ember is a very stubborn or determined girl, she was not able to be swayed one way or another about what she believes, and doesn't put her trust in anyone and carries a lot of anger, understandably. Ember felt she's cursed and soulless, she's estranged from the life she had before her curse, and she is all alone to deal with her current life.
This is one of those books that I had to step away from a few times, it was so intense with emotions, a lot of anger, sorrow, heartache, even paranoia. I guess I shouldn't have expected her to be all lively and happy, not being able to have that connection with someone is certainly a depressing existence. For most of the book I felt sad and depressed but I was still invested in the story, well, that's understandable since Ember, the main character's touch kills. Although I consider this book one of my favorites, I don't think I would be emotionally prepared to re-read if I ever decided to do so.
