My Thoughts
Cassidy owns an antique store and has a special power that allows her to know the history of an item when she touches it. Cass, Teag, and Sorren work together for the Alliance to get supernatural and dangerous items before they can harm others.
I loved that this story takes place in Charleston. It is so rich with character and history and the author uses so much of it within the story. I wanted to go to all the museums, browse in the shops, take the tours, and sleep at the bed and breakfasts. I wanted to be in that space with the people in her book.
I want more Sorren. I want to know more about him. How did he come to be? Maybe a book in the future would tell more about that.
This is one of those books you just can't put down until you're finished reading.
I give Deadly Curiosities 4 hearts!
About the Book
Cassidy Kincaide owns Trifles & Folly, an antique/curio
store and high-end pawn shop in Charleston, South Carolina that is more than
what it seems. Dangerous magical and supernatural items sometimes find their
way into mortal hands or onto the market, and Cassidy is part of a shadowy
Alliance of mortals and mages whose job it is to take those deadly curiosities
out of circulation.
Welcome to Trifles & Folly, an antique and curio shop
with a dark secret. Proprietor Cassidy Kincaide continues a family tradition
begun in 1670—acquiring and neutralizing dangerous supernatural items. It’s the
perfect job for Cassidy, whose psychic gift lets her touch an object and know its
history. Together with her business partner Sorren, a 500 year-old vampire and
former jewel thief, Cassidy makes it her business to get infernal objects off
the market. When mundane antiques suddenly become magically malicious, it’s
time for Cassidy and Sorren to get rid of these Deadly Curiosities before the
bodies start piling up.
