Ellie is a curse keeper, it’s a responsibility and a burden that is passed down from generation to generation for the last 400 years. There is one other curse keeper from a different line that is a yin to her yang. Collin had changed Ellie’s destined path the nano-second he waltzed into her life, forcing her to confront what she has always thought were fairy tale stories. Now that she knows everything her father has told her about the curse of the Roanoke Lost Colony is true, Ellie must now accept her fate and do everything in her power to save the world.After a heart breaking betrayal Ellie is trying to pick up the pieces of her now shattered trust and keep fighting against seemingly impossible odds. She has had a chance at defeating the release sprit if Collin her soul mate was still on with helping her, but abandoned and betrayed she must figure it out another way to stop the sprits from killing the innocents.Ellie seeks help from Native American expert and professor, Dr. David Preston while she feels she can never love trust another. David seeps quietly into her heart with his patience, understand and steadfast loyalty. It is not the electric passion that she had with Collin, but it is the relationship like her mother’s and father’s that she always wanted and it feels like being home. But can she choose between the man who holds her heart and the one that owns her soul? I'm frustrated with how much she relies on foreshadowing, and how little she works to make her characters memorable. The romance with Colin and David. I couldn't feel more than 'whatever'. She comes across as angsty over whether to drink 2% or skim, but totally freewheeling on everything life threatening. Crazy. All the preparations and effort and the bad guy finds her mental loophole everytime. *spoiler* and what's with the holy creature which only shows up at the end to sacrifice itself. We're supposed to realize it's special, imagine that it matters to the universe. Again...lots of whatever.
