Book Review: Curses, Foiled Again, by Sera Trevor

Hi pornies! How are you feeling today?
I recently read “Curses, Foiled Again” by Sera Trevor, and as soon as I finished it I knew I had to review it. It had so many surprises and colorful elements I have the idea many of you will like it. However, let me be clear with this: Sadly, you will not find explicit sex here. I’m still disappointed because of that.
The story is about a cursed witch, John, and a somewhat idiotic, yet lovely vampire, Felix, who, after not the best start, happen to fall in love. Things get sweet and nice between the two of them, but this changes when both guys have to deal with their respective “curses”: John’s is an actual curse that kills every woman in his family, and Felix lives with his sister and her abusive, immortal husband.
That’s pretty much what this is all about, but there is something in the narrative that makes me think that Curses, Foiled Again could be a great limited comic series. Sera Trevor included so many graphical, interesting elements and twists that I’m still amazed. The high level of fantasy involved is unusual for a book of this kind, which most of the times is solely focused on the characters and their romance.
Speaking of this last one, although the shift in the relationship between Felix and John seemed a little rushed for me, as if there could have been more development before, I smiled like an idiot when they started getting along, when they got to know each other, and how different they were when they became an actual couple.
As said before, I missed the sexual scenes in Curses, Foiled Again. There was so much potential to have a good dose of erotic content in this book it surprised me how easily Sera Trevor passed from them. Sex is not the focus in the book, I get it, but I cannot help feeling a little frustrated. I also feel the end could have been different. I expected something more epic, something that gave me a bigger, stronger impact. Just like before, there was a good opportunity to do something better, especially after what the characters went through.
However, the story is pretty good in general lines. I really enjoyed reading Curses, Foiled Again since it presents a big dose of creativity. You get plants moving, spirits, Ouija boards, new witches discovering their powers, ancient curses, criminals, closeted characters, and more! Sera Trevor didn’t hold back in this aspect.
I know many of you will like to read it, so let me know what you think about it once you do so!

Kinky regards, K!
