Cursed

Court of Isles #1 / 3
by Gina LaManna
Cursed (Court of Isles #1) by Gina LaManna
Unrated

Perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls... with magic!

Allie Wells is many things: Doctor. Runaway bride. Fae.

Except for two huge problems:

She doesn’t believe in magic.

The Fae were killed off centuries ago.

Alessia “Allie” Wells is a woman of science. She doesn’t believe in things like werewolves and vampires, sparkly or otherwise. Until her wedding day, when a darkly alluring man appears and kidnaps her in the middle of her glamorous Upper East Side nuptials, whisking her away to a magical island.

As the weeks pass, Alessia struggles to accept this new world—an enchanting land rife with fascinating creatures—and her place in it. She soon learns of the curse that is holding her new island captive…and killing everyone on it. Only a true Fae can break the curse. Which is impossible, seeing as Fae have been extinct for centuries.

When Alessia discovers that she is the only remaining full-blooded Fae in existence, she accepts her responsibility to save the island, and everyone on it. The longer Alessia stays, the more she falls in love with her new home. For the first time ever, she feels like she belongs. Not least of all because of the intensely powerful man who has slowly been capturing her heart...

But if Alessia can’t undo the curse holding this island hostage, then none of it will matter—because she’ll lose everything she’s come to love.

Gina LaManna

Gina LaManna’s writing journey is one that blends unexpected turns and delightful twists, much like the cozy mysteries and romantic suspense she expertly weaves. Hailing from St. Paul, Minnesota, her early career took a more logical route with a degree in actuarial science, but Gina quickly realized that her heart lay not in numbers, but in stories. After leaving behind the world of multiple-choice tests, she dove into the unpredictable realm of writing—where, it turns out, she’s been flourishing ever since.

Her works, which span more than 70 books across 13 different series, are best known for their mix of suspense, humor, and heart. Whether it’s the fast-paced action of Detective Kate Rosetti Mysteries or the entertaining chaos of Lacey Luzzi Mafia Mysteries, Gina has a knack for making readers smile, even in the most unpredictable of situations. Under the pen name Libby LaManna, she even crafts stories for younger readers, bringing her quirky sense of adventure to characters like Mini Pie the Spy, an overenthusiastic detective who’s always on the lookout for new mysteries to solve.

Her debut novel, Sprinkled, hit shelves in 2014, marking the beginning of a prolific career. With each new book, she’s managed to create worlds that readers want to visit again and again, capturing everything from the sweetness of a cappuccino foam swirl to the thrill of an unexpected plot twist. Gina’s writing is deeply influenced by her love of J.K. Rowling, Liane Moriarty, and Nora Roberts, pulling elements of wit, mystery, and heart into stories that feel like old friends—always leaving a lasting impression.

Though Gina has lived in a variety of places, from Italy to Los Angeles, she’s now based near the beach, where she enjoys marathons (of both the running and reading variety) and the occasional cup of whipped cream topped with a side of inspiration. Whether you’re picking up her latest release, Hate Hex, or revisiting an old favorite, you can count on Gina’s stories to offer a perfect blend of thrills and charm.

For those who love to get lost in a good book, Gina LaManna is an author who promises a captivating, fun, and always heartfelt escape.
