This follow-up to last year's Wings Once Cursed & Bound continues the adventures of Seattle's Darke Consortium, made up of supernaturals dedicated to taking mythical and mystical objects out of the hands of clueless mundanes and evil creatures alike. Green witch Marie Xiao is on the trail of a mysterious Egyptian artifact capable of gaining information from beyond death. So are Joe and Kuro—and for the wrong side; at least, until the curse brings these mythical foxes to Marie's door in hope of help, healing, rescue, and perhaps the love they've all been waiting for, if they can get the curse and the villains off all their backs. The urban fantasy element of the "Mythwoven" series introduces readers to a host of less-frequently explored myths, magic, and monsters from Asian mythology. Then it adds in treasure hunting, the dangerous storage aspects of Stargate and Warehouse 13, and a sweet, hot romance that gives its protagonists an unexpected but elegant triad HEA. VERDICT Recommended for readers who like their urban fantasy to explore new magic or paranormal romance readers looking for something magical in their happy-ever-afters.—Marlene Harris
