Phew, undercover work, love, intrigue, intuition, futures that shift and change like the patterns in a kaleidoscope - this book has the lot. I don't think I've ever read anything quite like it. A couple of things were slightly odd. The turn of phrase was sometimes a little strange, but that's explained by the fact the author isn't English, and the book is so well written that its a minor point. Also Ben annoyed me with his overbearing manner towards Sam; but I think it's in keeping with his extr...more
Brilliant and bizarre, The Blake Curse really seemed to get under my skin. I read it in one sitting. I'm unbelievably enraptured with this book for no apparent reason - it's full of love and espionage and sex and treacherousness and it's exciting and it's all wrapped up in a neat little book shaped parcel that has me so wound up I will guiltlessly use the word and repeatedly in a sentence that should be a list with commas instead!
The Blake Curse is quite unlike anything I have read before, and i...more

I have just finished the Blake Curse and I am gutted! Can't remember the last book that I enjoyed so much, there may well be grammatical or spelling errors, I have no idea because I was enjoying the story so much that I wouldn't have noticed anything. I am desperate to know more about Jake, Sam and Cathys dark history and the future of the Blake family. Thank you so much for this fabulous book. I shouldn't ask a Doctor to give up their day job but you have written a compelling book which I will...more
From my Amazon review:
From the first page, I was hooked by this great story. The author has a tremendous sense of pace and the book rarely slows long enough to take a deep breath. It's a love story intertwined with a touch of the paranormal spiced with a bit of espionage. Tough to throw all of those things together but in this book, it's done seamlessly and makes for a great story.
I developed a strong sense of ownership for the characters which is key to my personal enjoyment of a book.

best story l have read in a long while.Worth every penny.Would read more of tbis Author
It is always good to discover a new writer, particularly when they can write well.
I C Camilleri flavours the text of The Blake Curse subtly with her Mediterranean origins.
Modern in style and paced well from start to end, The Blake Curse will suit the young adult reader upwards. Plots with plots begin to unravel throughout the book and it is a story that you feel you will need to finish rather than put aside for the next weekend.

I loved this book. Well written believable characters.
The Blake Curse was fantastic, filled with excitement from beginning to end. A must read.

Something about me...well, that’s complex. Basically I’m a medical doctor living in the UK. Reading and writing have always been my passion, relieving me from the everyday stress of my medical job.
The Blake series is my first published work. They can be classified as paranormal romances and thrillers. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but suggested order of reading;
