Cursed Was a great read and IMHO even better than its predecessor, Fated! I'll definitely be reading the subsequent books in this series!

Now on to Mystery of the Moss-Covered Mansion (Nancy Drew #18) by Carolyn Keene and since there's been discussion of this author here lately and since I've seen the movie and enjoyed it I also chose The General's Daughter (Paul Brenner #1) by Nelson DeMille.
The versions of the Nancy Drew Mysteries that are available in the 21st century have all been updated back in 1971. The updated material is pretty easy to identify and usually I find these updates to be mostly unobtrusive. But Mystery of the Moss-Covered Mansion seemed to be almost all an updated/rewritten story. I think this is a shame. I read them to experience nostalga about the 40's and 50's, not the 70's! Oh well, the next one may be better.

The General's Daughter was a really enjoyable read and I've added Nelson DeMille to my interesting author list.

Next, because my Grandson keeps asking how I like this or that about this series he recommended (Kingdom Keepers, I've only read the first one of them so far), I'm going to be reading Disney at Dawn (Kingdom Keepers #2) by Ridley Pearson and also, a freebie from Amazon I've had sitting around a while now, One Deadly Sister (Sandy Reid Mysteries #1) by Rod Hoisington.
