 Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Cursed - Spencer Hill Press

"Yep. Squeaky died. I buried him. Olivia dug him up. I woke up the next day with the thing sitting on my chest."
-- Chapter 9

"But don't confuse pity with caring, Ember," she went on. "Hayden's always had a soft spot for all things... lost and broken."
-- Chapter 16

Having read Armentrout's Covenant series (as far as it’s published), I couldn't help but notice Cursed. It has nothing to do with the series, but rather stands alone. The characters are gifted similarly to the X-Men, which fits right in with my supernatural reading tendencies. ;)
Main character Ember is witty and ironic - the kind of (anti-) heroine I prefer - and she’s doing everything to contradict the theory that her curse is actually a gift. Everything she touches dies, how’s that not a curse? Hayden tries to convince her otherwise and helps her with her curse/gift. I liked him from the start, because he’s one of the only few who is friendly to Ember. So I’m unhappy when his motives are questioned. Still, what are his motives?
