Celia Wird and her three sisters are just like other 20-something girls—with one tiny exception: they're products of a backfired curse that has given each of them unique powers that make them, well, a little weird…
The Wird sisters are different from every race on earth—human and supernatural. When human society is no longer an option for them, they move in among the resid...more

LOVED IT! So excited about this new and exciting series from Cecy Robson! This novella did not disappoint and I can't wait to read more about the Weird Girls.

I knew I was going to love this. I knew, even before finishing the first chapter, that this novella from the quirky and charming Cecy Robson was going to be unique and witty.

The Weird Girls is the prequel novella of the new series Weird Girls by Cecy Robson.
The Wird sisters (Celia, Emma, Shayna and Taran) are not your normal neighborhood girls; they are the offspring of a cursed couple. Their mother was cursed by her own sister for marrying outside their race. This curse not only made their parents died young but also gave the girls supernatural powers; that wasn’t their aunt intention, it was more the result of the curse going wrong.

The Weird Girls – A Novella is an introduction to Cecy Robson’s new upcoming Weird Girls series. As prequels go, this one really did a good job introducing us to the main characters and to the gist of the series.
The series revolves around Celia and her three sisters, all of whom have some special abilities. They were victims of a curse-gone-wrong when they were younger and now are dealing with the consequences. Each girl has her own ability that is compl...more

The plot of this novella is straightforward – four sisters with unusual (understatement) abilities are in the midst of settling into their new Lake Tahoe home when, on a night out to celebrate, one of the sisters, Taran, to be exact, pisses off a witch. And then all hell breaks lose. This is a wonderfully imaginative, action packed story that sets up what looks to be a great new urban fantasy series by debut author, Cecy Robson.

Prequel novella for new series.
The action junkie is happy! It starts with a fight in the girls room of a bar and keeps going until the end. I like the shapeshifting Celia a lot. She is strong, but her strength sets her apart from everyone else, making her lonely too. She is fiercely protective of her sisters and I love that aspect. A lot of books have relationships between men and women, but not as many positive relationships between women. While they may not always agree, these girls love each...more

What a pleasant surprise this novella was. The Weird Girls is a prequel novella in debut author, Cecy Robson's, fascinating, funny, and unique new urban fantasy world. I can't wait to dive in to book one, Sealed With a Curse.
Wow and I thought I had a strange family! I have to say The Wird Girls was for me a little hard to get in because I had a little bit of a problem keeping the sisters separated. But when it started to flow a little better and I learned to keep the girls separated. I was Hooked!

Loved this novella! It's an all around fabulous read. Celia and her sisters are characters you will instantly fall in love with. The Weird Girls novella is full of laugh out loud humor and moments that touch your heart (if a book can touch me enough to make me cry on the characters' behalf, it's a keeper, and this novella did just that!). Great plot twists, a narrative voice that will keep you completely intrigued, and an excellent story arc. Can't wait to read Sealed with a Curse!
Celia Wird and her 3 sisters, Taran, Shayna and Emme are not ordinary twenty-something chicks. That's not new concept, except they were cursed and that curse was backfired, make them more than special. The story start when the sisters move to Lake Tahoe and unfortunately Taran start a fight with the local witch. Their fight is blowing the club they choose to celebrate. Literally.

This novella was a welcome intro into the world of the Wird Sisters and I loved it. It really means I need to find the time to read the next book in the series. The sisters we all cool and had such unique powers. It loved that there was something different about all of them and how different they all were. The author gave us such amazing back story on all the sisters that really makes you want to know more about them and get more involved in their world.

The night the Wird sisters decide to celebrate finding a nice place to settle within the Lake Tahoe region, they get caught in a fight with a crazy bitch--ah, I mean witch--who viciously attacks them before setting her coven against the Wird girls.
I really enjoyed the introduction to the four Wird sisters, and can see a lot of magical trouble waiting on the horizon.
I'm really glad I've got the first book on pre-order. :)

I got this prequel novella to Cecy Robson's Weird Girls series because of the accessible Kindle price (2.99) and because i'd seen it reviewed elsewhere and remembered the reviewer had noted the snarky sense of humor.
I need me some snark right now, and wanted to see if it was worth buying the series.
I would say yes. Despite some easily-edited minor text mistakes, and a bit of believability problem in terms of the supernatural world keeping themselves secret from humans (and blowing up night clubs...more

I've always loved stories that feature siblings and family drama. Add in a paranormal twist and ta da...... you have the formula for magic. "The Weird Girls" is a novella and prequel to a new series about four sisters who are backcursed because of mixed parentage. Each sister has unique abilities but they all just want to lay low and lead a normal life.

To sum it up: unique story and characters, well written and action packed. If you like UF, read it.
What makes the Weird Girls so weird is that they can't be categorized--they are not witches, weres, or fire-breathers; they aren't knife-throwers. They certainly aren't gypsies. They're the product of leftover curse mojo and they're just looking for a little normalcy.
As traveling nurses, the sisters have seen a lot of America, but when they see the Lake Tahoe area, they fall in love. They buy a co...more

This is a introduction to the Weird Girls series. The series is about Celia Wird and her three sisters Taran, Shayna and Emme. They never really fitted in with the humans because they all have unique powers. But they also don’t fit in with the supernaturals. They aren’t born as supernaturals, they’re products of a backfired curse. They moved to the Lake Tahoe region to make a home there. And they try to avoid the supernatural by keeping a low profile. At least, that was the plan. But with four s...more

I really enjoyed this read! The challenges and conflicts surrounding the sisters with the witches were original and at times a little twisted (in a good way). I also enjoyed the dialog and humor and the ability for the author to turn things dark. This was a very fast-paced story and I was thoroughly entertained all along the way.

I thought the Weird Girl is overall a good read. In this Novella, we learn the background on the Wird sisters and a little about the paranormal world they've seemed to be thrown in....no matter how much they avoid it. These four young woman…each with a different power, were cursed. This as we learn seems was cast upon the girls mother because she married outside her race, but it backfired.

I know this was a novella introducing a new series, but it was simply too much.
We are introduced to the "Weird Sisters". Celia, Taran, Shayna and Emme. They all have some unique powers they ascertained through a backfired curse. Taran gets into an altercation in the washroom of a bar one night and all hell breaks loose. Turns out she pissed off a witch. From there, a challenge is issued and the story is action packed until the very last page.

I'm not sure what I've read here. I know it's an introduction to the series, a way for the reader to get to know the sisters. But I am confused as to why this novella had to be written, and why this couldn't be a part of the first book.
The story hit the ground running, and it kept the pace all the way through to the end. I was introduced to a bunch of people, and honestly, there was no way I could keep track of who was who without keeping notes. I didn't keep notes, so I'm probably even more con...more

My English review
I was so impatient to discover the Cecy Robson’s books since I found the summary of her first novel on a blog. And this novella is perfect for that; it introduces us to the story of the four sisters Wird. Yes, it’s true, there are four main characters here. I don't think I ever read a book with so many characters except the sisters of the moon and I confess that I wondered how the author would manage to feature them all. I think it is a big challenge to jugg...more

This was a great introduction to the new series and I can't wait for Cecy Robson's debut novel to be released! I love the sisters, they are so different from each other but so close and tight-knit. They'd do anything for each other and just want a home of their own where they can settle in and not have to keep moving.In this novella they take a stand for just that! The novella is written from the perspsctive of the oldest sister Celia, who is very protective of her sisters and challenges the hea...more

After trying and failing to blend into society, they venture to Lake Tahoe, where supernaturals are the region's main residents.

It is a prequel to the Weird Girl series, but you really don’t need to read it before you read the first book. It does introduce you to the four sisters, and their powers, and their arrival in Lake Tahoe. While celebrating the buy of their first house, which will require lots of work, Taran manages to piss off some witches, and it is up to Celia to save them. But angering one witch, means getting the whole coven after you, and Celia will have to go through a lot of anguish to safe herself and he...more
I have the first book Sealed with a Curse on my "to-buy" list and thought I'd start the series with this short novella. For being a short novella it's a very solid story; I only felt like I read a novella based on length. An intricate plot kept the book humming along and quite a few tense moments had me on the edge of my seat, so to speak.
An excellent way to start the series and I'm looking forward to starting the first full length book.

The Weird Girls is the digital prequel to the Weird Girls series by Cecy Robson. This novella lays the groundwork and provides some of the backstory for the Wird sisters and how they came to live in the supernaturally charged Lake Tahoe area. This was a "down and dirty" read with lots of magical action, some tight world-building, and an excellent introduction to the characters. It's well worth the price and the time.
