The relationship between legends, curses, and real events

The main character is a police lieutenant named Anna Koray who is trying to live a "normal" life after her dark past as the son of a serial killer.

When he rescues a boy from drowning, scars are found on the boy's body that indicate something is dragging him out of the water — and then there is another victim with the same mark.

This case turns out to be related to a rich and powerful family in the small town of "Bayern County", as well as rumors about witches and old curses that may be involved.

Anna must distinguish between myths/legends and reality while investigating the dark forces that may be behind all those events.

This book is for someone who likes a bit of drama and lots of twists! The book is a quick read and easy to get into. I didn't read The Hunter's Daughter before reading this and had no problem getting into it because the author provides just enough context of what happened in the prior book. A great read for this fall if you are looking for a thriller.

I wasn't sure I would enjoy this book, but it ended up being a really fun read. If you're not into reading books about the supernatural / paranormal I could see this book being less enjoyable. The story tries to offer a non-supernatural explanation but it was less convincing. While it is a sequel, I didn't feel out of the loop in reading this one first, but it did make me want to read The Hunter's Daughter. I think it would make a great movie!

The Sister's Curse is a great story that is hard to immediately categorize. Definitely a thriller, containing some hints of witchcraft and occult, and to some extent some Gothicism. This book will appeal to all fans of modern thrillers, but it does contain refreshing differences from the standard thriller formula.

Anna Koray is a police officer in Bayern County (specifically non-specific as to which state) with lots of baggage in her life. She balances the ethics of her position with the ghosts of her past. All contribute to the very unique story presented on these pages.

The story goes through many twists and turns, some quite unexpected, but wraps up very nicely at the end. Well-paced, the narrative kept me guessing and coming back for more. I found Anna to be a very complex and sympathetic.

I enjoyed the book. I might have had a better understanding of if I read the first book The Hunter's Daughter. The author writes very well, which fortunately kept me interested.
I will most likely read the first book and re read the Sisters curse. I would recommend reading it as it reads well.

Very good! I hadn't realized it was a sequel when I requested the novel. So I read The Hunter's Daughter first, which was really good. Reading The Sister's Curse was even better. The spirits of the forest and the water, the investigation of a 25 year old murder, and the life of Elena/Anna were are amazingly written. I look forward to reading more Nicola Solvinic novels.

Well, this author kept the reader guessing throughout the entire book. It is interesting to note that a religious sect played a role in the story as well past crimes. There was a supernatural tone throughout that made the reader question existence of evil or something else.

If you love Simone St. James you will thoroughly enjoy The Cursed Sisters, which combines murder, a 25 year old cold case, a group of religious zealots, a police procedural, poisoning of waterways and citizens convinced there are witches and forest gods seeking revenge. The plot flowed smoothly and is peopled with strong women characters. Actually, my favorite character is a sweet fox named Simoe.

Having discovered this is the second book in a series, I think I would appreciate a bit more of the backstory for protagonist, Anna. This books does stand alone; but more on Anna's history would clarify some of her motivations.
