Katrina Summer always knew she was different. Her fiery temper seems to perpetually land her in hot water, making her an outcast among her peers. When tragedy strikes and she’s sent to live with her only remaining family in the tiny coastal town of Apollo Beach, Katrina starts counting down the days until her eighteenth birthday.
Only then will she finally be free.
As Katrina learns the legends of her Ancient Greek ancestors, secrets from her heritage are exposed—secrets that her mother purposefully concealed. Her only solace is found in Alec Stone, the gorgeous guy next door. With his devastatingly charming smile, his persistent flirtation, and a love that sparks from the flames of friendship, he offers her a much-needed escape from the turmoil.
If only she wasn’t cursed.
As powerful forces threaten the lives in Apollo Beach, Katrina can’t escape the evocative world of mythological enchantment and evil prophecies that lurk around every corner.

⭐️ 4 "Solstice" Stars ⭐️
I hadn’t ventured in the fantasy genre in a very long while, but I’ll read anything K.K. Allen writes, so I entered the Enchanted Gods Series with lots of excitement. Cursed was an interesting novel and only the beginning of a very bewitching world! With a mythology inspired setting, this story was fascinating!
When Katerina is sent to live with her estranged grandmother, she slowly learns long kept secrets about her family. Her ancestors entrusted remarkable powers to their lineage and events that always made her an outsider in her previous life, now all makes sense. Situations where she could strangely control the elements surrounding her are now explainable. She cautiously discovers a fantastic world in Apollo Beach. She feels the animosity from certain people in this town, but she rapidly forges a friendship with Alec. The guy is truly sweet and charming. I found those two really cute even if the romance was very low for me, avid romance reader. I still felt their beautiful connection that only promises a special bond for the subsequent novels.
The progression of the story was a little too slow in my opinion, but I couldn’t stop reading only wanting to understand Kat’s mythical heritage. Now that we learned more about what’s expected from the girl, I’m really eager for the future books in this series!
