Damn girl! Can't Celia ever catch a break? It's like everyone either has a boner for her or wants to kill her. For goodness sake give this girl some comfort already. Enough is enough. I've grown pretty attached to this world and these characters so it hurts me that they are constantly in mortal peril. All the adventure, action, humor, and heart remain in this third installment of the Weird Girls series. I loved Cursed by Destiny but it was rough to get though with all my favorite characters suffering all the time. Almost all of this will be in spoilers because I need to vent! 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 Why can't Aric and Celia just be together? The weres deeply value matehood yet the elders are cool with separating mates and forcing Aric to breed with other women. It doesn't make any logical sense with their fundamental values. Couldn't Aric just make babies with his mate? It's just so unfair and stupid. This in turn causes Aric and Celia to have a bittersweet "Romeo and Juliet" type of romance. They are forced to only have secret trysts in the meager time they can sneak off together. And if all of this isn't bad enough, Aric gets horribly disfigured from burns. FOR FUCK'S SAKE! Stop kicking them while they're down! Side note: I totally called the whole pregnancy thing when Celia didn't like how her salad smelled! 
 The whole deal with Mischa is complicated. He might not be altruistic but he is certainly noble. He finally shows some vulnerability and he's easy to love. I think if Celia never met Aric, Mischa would actually be a pretty good match for her. He's not quite the perfect man yet, but he's trying to be better. I know its Celia and Aric all the way but I don't think Celia's life would be all that terrible if she did eventually end up with Mischa. 
 All right, fine, bring in a wild card were-lion named Tye because what Celia needs is yet another guy coming to sniff around. I don't really know how I feel about him yet. At the moment, I feel like Tye and Celia will end up being good friends. I'm getting the same kind of vibes as I do between Bren and Celia. Like he'll totally check out her ass because it's a nice ass but he doesn't actually want to sleep with her. There's the whole thing with Destiny's prediction that they will make babies and the babies will help save the world. However, Destiny said she was "almost completely certain" so she could be wrong. 
 Emme and Liam break up. Basically, Liam knows Emme isn't his true mate. They love each other but if Liam ever does meet his true mate it would be a disaster for them because it would be impossible for him to not want his mate more. In the long run it's better to end it now but it's still sad. I kind of thought maybe there could be something with Emme and Bren. There was a moment in A Cursed Moon where he was stunned by how beautiful she is and he got all up in Liam's face after the break up. Is there a possibility for a future "Bremme?" Probably not. Hank the vampire is also in the picture so who knows... 
 ANARA IS A SON OF A BITCH! I think that exclamation should say everything. But wow... this is some major evil, sadistic, dictator bullshit right here! (hide spoiler)] 
 OK. I really love the characters in this series and I've had enough of their pain. However, I know it's only going to get worse going forward. I think I'm going to need some time to calm down before I continue on.
