Cursed is the Worst

A Mythmatched M/M romance

By: E.J. Russell

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

An awkward swan shifter walks into a barre…

…after he’s already walked into the door, two people on the street, and a rack full of tiny pink tutus. While bumping into the handsome dance instructor—multiple times—is no hardship, it’ll take a miracle to overcome Kiran’s clumsiness curse and get him dance-floor ready in time to partner his ballerina sister at her wedding without knocking her on her ass.

Miracles? Hardly ex-minion demon Taj Sekani’s scene. But with Kiran in his arms, the perfect pas de deux might finally be within his grasp.

But then Taj’s old master demands a favor. And Kiran takes a decidedly sketchy shortcut to terpsichorean competency. Without that unlikely miracle, their first dance could very well be their last.

witty interesting characters

not enough sizzle. but sweet love story. a bit of an exciting experience for both main characters. well produced well performed

But what happens next?

I love this world and have read almost all of EJ’s books. But this one feels unfinished. What happens to the curse, can he get it removed? Or does it intensify? What about Taj, does he have to go back to his master? There should have been an epilogue to say what happened since the wedding and that his dance studio did wind up getting a lot of new customers.

short and sweet

I wish it was longer. other than that it was great. the narrator was amazing as always

cute short story

solid narration for both MC. Lots of emotion and feeling. Didn't love the "deep voice" for Ty as it felt very corporate businessman and not sexy but it wasn't distracting.

don't miss this!

This is a fun short story that falls in with the Purgatory and Mythmatched connection. Taj and Kiran have a sweet story with some redemption aspects and we get another side of the story of Del and Anni's wedding. Totally unmissable!
Once again Greg Boudreaux knocks it out of the park!
