The Curse of the Moon is a well-known phenomenon that has fascinated humans for centuries. It is a belief that the full moon brings bad luck, misfortune, and strange occurrences. This superstitious belief has been passed down through generations and has become deeply ingrained in various cultures around the world. One of the most popular beliefs associated with the Curse of the Moon is that it affects human behavior. Many people claim that during a full moon, humans become more aggressive, moody, and prone to accidents. Some even argue that crime rates increase during this lunar phase.

Find here the original trilogy from Anne Rice's bestselling series about the lives of Mayfair witches.

The Witching Hour
Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches--a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women.

Lasher
At the center of this the brilliant and beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven -- and Lasher, the darkly compelling demon whom she finds irresistible and from whose evil spell and vision she must now flee. She takes with her their terrifying and exquisite child, one of "a brood of children born knowing, able to stand and talk on the first day." Rowan's attempt to escape Lasher and his pursuit of her and their child are at the heart of this extraordinary saga, moving around the globe, backward and forward through time, and between the human and demonic worlds.

Taltos
Ashlar is the last of his race--or so he thinks. When he learns that another Taltos has been seen, he is suddenly propelled into the haunting world of the Mayfair family, the New Orleans dynasty of witches forever besieged by ghosts, spirits, and their own dizzying powers. For Ashlar knows this powerful clan is intimately linked to the heritage of the Taltos. This mesmerizing novel takes us on a wondrous journey back through the centuries to a civilization half-human, of wholly mysterious origin, at odds with mortality and immortality, justice and guilt. It is an enchanted, hypnotic world that could only come from the imagination of Anne Rice.

It is believed that paranormal activities, such as ghosts, werewolves, and vampires, are more likely to manifest during a full moon. This belief has been perpetuated through literature, movies, and pop culture, contributing to the enduring fascination with the Curse of the Moon. But where did this belief come from? The connection between the moon and human behavior can be traced back to ancient times. Many ancient civilizations worshiped the moon as a powerful deity and believed that it had a significant impact on their lives. The moon was often associated with fertility, cycles, and transformation, which may have contributed to the belief in its curse. While science has debunked many of these superstitious beliefs, the Curse of the Moon continues to captivate people’s imaginations. In modern times, some individuals still carry out rituals or take precautions during a full moon to ward off any potential negative effects. Whether it is through superstition, entertainment, or cultural traditions, the Curse of the Moon remains an intriguing aspect of human belief and folklore..

Reviews for "Breaking Free: Escaping the Curse's Grasp"

1. Emily - 2 stars - "I was excited to read 'Curse of the Moon' as I love supernatural books, but unfortunately, I was hugely disappointed. The plot was predictable and lacked originality, and the characters were one-dimensional and uninteresting. The writing style was also quite bland, and I found myself getting bored while reading. Overall, I didn't feel any connection to the story or the characters, and it was a struggle to finish the book."

2. Jason - 1 star - "I can honestly say that 'Curse of the Moon' is one of the worst books I've read in a long time. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the plot meandered aimlessly without any clear direction. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, and the romantic subplot was clichéd and felt out of place. The author also failed to create a compelling atmosphere or build any suspense. I would not recommend this book to anyone."

3. Sarah - 2 stars - "I had high expectations for 'Curse of the Moon' based on the positive reviews, but it didn't live up to the hype. The protagonist was incredibly annoying and made irrational decisions throughout the entire story. The world-building was poorly executed, leaving me confused and disconnected from the fantasy setting. The writing itself was mediocre, lacking in descriptive language and failing to create a vivid picture in my mind. Overall, this book fell flat for me, and I wouldn't recommend it to others."

4. Michael - 2 stars - "I found 'Curse of the Moon' to be a tedious read. The plot was formulaic and lacked originality, offering nothing new to the supernatural genre. The characters were forgettable, and their actions often didn't make sense within the context of the story. Furthermore, the dialogue felt stilted and unrealistic, hindering my ability to fully immerse myself in the narrative. Overall, this book failed to captivate me, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh and engaging read."

5. Rebecca - 1 star - "I struggled to get through 'Curse of the Moon'. The writing was amateurish and riddled with grammatical errors, which made it difficult to follow the story. The plot was predictable, and the author seemed to rely on tired tropes and clichés. The character development was also lacking, with the protagonist feeling one-dimensional and unrelatable. I found myself constantly rolling my eyes while reading this book, and I would not recommend it to anyone seeking an enjoyable and well-written supernatural novel."
