The Cursed

The Unearthly #3 / 5
by Laura Thalassa
The Cursed (The Unearthly #3) by Laura Thalassa
Unrated

Save me from the darkness.

It’s been two months. Two months since Gabrielle survived the horror that was Samhain. Two months since she slipped from the devil’s clutches. Two months since she learned that she might have to face him again.

Her nights are plagued by dreams of him, and she wakes to find that she’s creeping closer to that unholy reunion. So when a ritualistic murder occurs on a ley line in Romania and Gabrielle is called in to investigate, it seems like a harbinger of things to come.

Angelic victims, a killer that smells like ash and roses, and wounds that speak of pagan sacraments — it should be enough evidence for Gabrielle to solve the case and get back to her winter break. But the clues keep slipping through her fingers; someone is always one step ahead.

In the same city, Andre De Leon, king of the vampires, stands trial for the massacre at Bishopcourt, and his coven’s justice system is infamous for its cruelty. Up until now he’s been able to shield Gabrielle from their brutality, but her nearness makes her vulnerable to their wrath, and they will use her to get to Andre.

A killer, a vampire trial, the devil — all in the same city. It’s too coincidental, which is to say that it is not a coincidence at all. Fate has betrayed her.

Laura Thalassa

Laura Thalassa has always had a knack for telling stories that feel as real as they are magical. Growing up in Fresno, California, she spent her childhood crafting imaginative tales with her best friend, her overactive imagination a constant companion. It wasn’t long before that childhood hobby turned into a career—one that would bring her to the forefront of the paranormal and fantasy romance genres.

With an eye for intricate worlds and complex emotions, Laura’s books transport readers to realms where magic and romance collide. Her stories, often filled with darker elements, explore themes of fate, power, and love in its many forms. But even when the stakes are at their highest, Laura’s writing never loses its heart, making her books not just escapist reads but deeply emotional journeys.

Best known for her Bewitched series, which has garnered a loyal following and earned her a spot on the USA Today bestseller list, Laura’s tales often center on strong-willed characters caught between duty and desire. Her storytelling is evocative, with every chapter drawing readers deeper into the drama and wonder of her carefully crafted worlds. Whether it’s through cursed beings or fated lovers, she knows how to keep readers turning pages late into the night.

Now residing in Santa Barbara, California, with her fiancé, author Dan Rix, Laura balances her writing with time spent outdoors—whether at the beach or hiking in the sun-soaked hills. It’s clear that her love for the natural world translates into her storytelling, where even the most magical of landscapes feel tangible and alive.

Laura continues to write stories that captivate and thrill, and with each new release, she redefines what it means to blend fantasy with romance. Fans can look forward to her upcoming work, The Curse That Binds, a prequel to the Bewitched series, set to release in 2025.
