Curse the Day
Title: Curse the Day
Author: Annabel Chase
Genre: Paranormal Cozy Mystery
Rating: Five Stars!
Paranormal cozies are my go-to
books. I make sure that I read outside of my favorite genre often, and while I
really love my science fiction and fantasy novels, paranormal cozies are like
my favorite pair of jeans—the ones you wear at least once a week even though
they’re fraying at the edges. So for this month’s book review, I couldn’t
resist the temptation to return to my true love, which is always easy to do because
there are so many books to choose from. Often, the wide selection can make it
difficult to pick, but I got a recommendation this month, and I was not disappointed!
Before I dive into my review though, here’s what the publisher had to say…
“Curse
the Day” Book Synopsis
The only magic Emma Hart believes in
is caffeine and the power of the dryer to lose one sock per load. A public
interest lawyer buried under a mound of student debt, Emma’s whole life has
been one turn of bad luck after another.
Her streak seems to continue when
she gets lost on the way to see a client in the remote Pocono Mountains. A
chance encounter with a suicidal angel lands her in Spellbound, a town where
supernaturals have been cursed to remain for centuries—probably not the best
time for Emma to discover that she's actually a witch.
Between the recent murder of the
town’s public defender, a goblin accused of theft, remedial witch classes, and
the attention of one smoking hot vampire, Emma struggles to navigate this
unfamiliar terrain without losing her mind...or her life.
Curse the Day is the first book in
the Spellbound paranormal cozy mystery series.

Take On “Curse the Day”
I loved, loved, loved this book! Not
only is it well written, but everything works together perfectly to make it a
great read! I loved the protagonist. She’s refreshing and hilarious. Her dry
wit, humor, and way of seeing the world cracked me up from start to finish. The
suspense is right on point, and the romance is perfectly balanced—not too much
to take away from the mystery and humor of the book, but just enough where you
can’t help but smile during each interaction. It’s sweet, and with its cozy
length I promise it’ll make the perfect weekend read.
