Read This! The Curse Workers Series by Holly Black

Have you read enough dystopians? Needing something different? Try switching things up for a while with an old fashioned magic based fantasy – no vampires, no werewolves – just magic or in Cassel’s case, curse workers! In Cassel’s world everyone wears gloves because everyone is a potential curse worker – someone who with the touch of their hand could remove your memories, bring you luck, good or bad, invade your dreams or even kill you! Cassel has always believed that he is the one anomaly in a well-known and talented family of curse workers. His mother works emotions. One brother is a physical worker and the other a memory worker. His grandfather is a death worker, but Cassel doesn’t have a curse to work. Or, does he? Lately, Cassel has been having weird dreams of a white cat, a cat that suspiciously reminds him of his murdered childhood friend, Lila.

White Cat has suspense, mystery, great con games, humor and magic! And, If you like White Cat, follow it up with the next two books in the series – Red Glove and Black Heart! I’m hoping for a fourth book soon!
