This book had more Curse Keeper story and less romance, so I liked it more than the first. I don’t really like Ellie as a character, I unfortunately find her kind of annoying and boy crazy. One thing I did find weird was that her father had passed away maybe a month ago, but her stepmother was already seeing someone else... I felt like that was really quick!
I’ll read the third book because I would like to see the conclusion, but this is not my favorite series by Denise Grover Swank.

I love this series overall. Especially the character development. I think this was a great continuation of the first novel and I like where it's going.
My only complaint is that some of the romance scenes were pretty cheesy. Like the dialog. I've never been in love, so maybe that is what couples really do, but I found it unrealistic and unbelievable.

After reading the first in this series - The Curse Keepers - I of course couldn't wait to get my hands on the next book. I had to know what was going to happen next.
And I wasn't disappointed. Ellie is back, so is Collin "effin" Daily and now there is another in the mix - Dr David Preston. Of course her best friend Claire and Drew are there and the wedding is getting closer.
Ellie is trying to do the right thing and fix all the problems that occurred in the first book, but there is plenty to get in the way, or to be distracted by, namely Collin and David. Oh and the native spirits too!
I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys their books filled with mystery, history, mythology and romance.
I am awaiting the next instalment for Ellie which will be in September, 2014. Hold on to your seats guys, as I think it might be a bumpy ride! :)

I was not that interested in the book. I tried to get into it but I really couldn't. I thought it may just have been me since I was in not in the mood to read moment but I thought it would have caught my attention and bring me out of it.
Fun. Really impressed with the originality of the plot. Native American mythos is becoming more popular in the urban fantasy genre which I love. Very fun story.
Actual Rating 4.5 Stars!
The Curse Breakers picks up right where The Curse Keepers left off. Ellie is left to deal with the consequences of Collin's actions. With Collin now out of the picture, Ellie is forced to figure out how to deal with the spirits on her own. As the spirits start wreaking havoc on the town, Ellie is desperately trying to discover Ahone's mark. Her time is running out and it's her only shot at protection.......Ellie seeks help from a college professor, David, who specializes in Native American studies. At first David doesn't want to help her out, but as fate or luck would have it, David ends up in right in Ellie's backyard. His curiosity gives Ellie hope that she may not have to do this alone. Together they will try to figure out the mystery about the curse and hopefully put an end to things.......
The Curse Breakers takes you on one heck of a thrill ride. There was never a dull moment. The Curse Breakers took you further and further into the mystery. Just when you think you finally got some answers, you were given more questions.
We didn't really see a lot of Collin this time around, but what we did see, left quite the impact. I'm still frustrated with him for his actions in The Curse Breakers and I don't fully trust him. But, I do think that he really does love Ellie and I couldn't help feeling sorry for him. I'm hopeful that he will get a chance to redeem himself in the next book.
David was a great addition to the story. Not only did he prove to be helpful to Ellie, but he genuinely seems to care for her and is willing to protect her no matter what. I think that he was just what Ellie needed, but I do feel that he's only going to get his heart broken.
Ellie.....What can I say?? She is still so stubborn. But, I was glad to see that she wasn't going to give up. The odds were definitely against her and for once I think her stubbornness worked well. She goes through a lot in The Curse Breakers and I felt by the end of the book that her character had grown so much!
The Curse Breakers is definitely an exciting sequel. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, trying to unravel the mystery. I am still left with so many questions, especially about the Ricardo Deal. I can't wait to see how everything comes together and I'm looking forward to the final showdown with Okeus!

There are no words to describe how much I love this book. This book goes into what happened after the curse has been broken. It also shows how Ellie has grown into her own person. Ellie is stronger than ever before, and with the help of a very handsome Englishman named David, she gets down to what she needs to do, closing that gate. In this book there are not only spirits chasing Ellie, but there are also two thugs, and a police officer that is becoming more and more suspicious.
This is by far the best book out of the series. It has you on the edge of your seat, and it makes you stay engagued with the whole story. It won't let you put it down. It pulls you in and it never lets you go. You WILL have a book hangover after reading this book. The you will go back and read it again!
Denise has taken this book to a different level than The Curse Keepers. She has done enough research on the subject at hand, that she sounds like an expert in it!

ooh Boy! That connection with Collin and THAT scene. But really, how does one get over such betrayal from the end of the last book.
Then she meets David. Starts out as a jerk. Thankfully he seems like a good guy who really wants to protect Ellie.
Its a good listen.

The Curse Breakers followed The Curse Keepers seamlessly. The action and peril has been amped up. The spice and angst are palpable. The character development of Ellie into a strong female lead is achieved.
A love triangle is introduced and makes an interesting side story as we feel ourselves racing toward Ellie’s deadline to pledge her allegiance to Okeus or Ahone. The demons are scarier and the stakes are higher. It is truly a heart racing read.
I immediately downloaded Book 3 and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
