Legend has it that the Burning Runw Demon was once a human who made a pact with dark forces in exchange for incredible powers. However, the deal came with a terrible price - the transformation into a fearsome creature destined to spread fear and misery.

Trickery (Curse of the Gods #1) by Jaymin Eve, Jane Washington
The Curse of the Gods series was one of my first adventures with RH as a genre. I was already a fan of Jaymin Eve because of her Hive Trilogy and the Supernatural Prison Trilogy, which I highly recommend if you are a PNR YA fan. But this series did not disappoint me.
Trickery, Curse of the Gods Book 1, is a fantastic start to the overall story. The authors have set the theme pretty well.
The Premise – The world is pretty unique in this book. It is divided into two – Minatsol, where the people live, and Topia, where the Gods live. Even the people are divided into three classes – Dwellers (the ordinary people), Sol (people who have some God-like powers) and the Gods (the rulers of their worlds).
This part is explained early on, so you aren’t confused about all the political standing. Basically, the dwellers are the slaves of the Sols. And the Sols strive their best to please the Gods, so they get the chance to stand with them.
The Characters and the Plot – The story follows Willa Knight, a clumsy, hilarious female who has the uncanny ability to create a chaotic mess everywhere she goes. I really liked her for her stupid and endearing behaviour of getting into trouble. Although she usually stumbles around more, she is actually smart and knows how to get out of the problems too.
As fate would have it, Willa, along with her sister Emmy, is chosen to attend Blesswood, an academy for the Sols who train to please their Gods and for a chance to be Gods themselves. It’s the life of servitude for the dwellers, but Willa turns it into something more.
She catches the eyes of five brothers, the Abcurses, who make her life more chaotic. And let me say, I wouldn’t mind being their pet. Coen, Rome, Yael, Aros and Siret, are one of my favourite Harems. Each of them is distinct, they have their own quirks and personalities, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them. Initially, they are amused by the dweller who’s just too careless around them, but as the plot continues and things happen, they become protective of her.
The Abcurses are much more powerful than the normal sols, dangerous and have a secret they aren’t willing to share yet. But they have taken Willa under their wings and can be over-the-top at times (which TBH is my guilty pleasure). They are possessive of her and will do anything to keep her safe and avenge her.
Overall… The world-building is amazing. The authors have built a fantastic world for us to dive into. The revelations take place in bits, but that’s what keeps you going. The characters are amazing, well-rounded and so dang addictive. It isn’t really a fantasy read, with all those over-descriptions of the land and stuff.
The romance isn’t the focus, but that doesn’t matter because you get to read all those fun and intense interactions between the characters. Willa doesn’t have a preference, she gravitates toward them all.
This is a fun read, you will legit laugh out loud at Willa’s antics, fall for the brothers and want more and more of them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
