Until a tragic accident stole it all away. Now, more than scars and a tattoo remain. Jackson has a secret. Cursed by his dead girlfriend\u2019s mother, he can never fall in love again or his beloved will die. With his heart on lockdown, he keeps to himself\u2014until a roadie gig with Malcontent, the world\u2019s most popular band, entwines his fate with sweet, wounded Layla\u2019s\u2026<br \/>\nMusic is what Layla lives for. She has no choice. She\u2019s bound by magic to serve Malcontent, cursed to propel them to stardom with her musical powers. Then Jackson appears and gives her hope that he\u2019s the hero who will save her. A reluctant hero, yet one she can\u2019t resist. But freedom will come at price\u2014and who will pay\u2026?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Review:<\/h2>\n<p>Jackson is cursed.\u00a0 His curse won&#8217;t let him love again without the girl dying from his curse.\u00a0 Layla has her own problems.\u00a0 She is bound by magic to the lead singer in a mega band, Malcontent.\u00a0 All she wants to do is break free.\u00a0 When she meets Jackson she realizes with him she wants to break free even more.\u00a0 Can the two of them break their curses or will they pay the ultimate price?<br \/>\nI really liked this story.\u00a0 Its a bit shorter than a normal novel but you still get the full impact of the characters and the world they are in.\u00a0 Jackson and Layla&#8217;s love story though a bit whirlwind really makes the reader swoon.\u00a0 He has all the awesome power of an alpha, but the soft heart of a teddy bear.\u00a0 The story is well written and\u00a0 flows wonderfully well between characters.\u00a0 The ebb and flow between Jackson and Layla&#8217;s points of view truly allows for a full story that without it would leave it lacking.\u00a0 Cate Masters has truly made the story of <em>The Griffin<\/em> a modern tale with hot alpha male and a strong, sassy heroine.\u00a0 I recommend this to anyone looking for an enchanting read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Friday!\u00a0 To me it has felt like forever getting here.\u00a0 Today I get to share with you a great story by Cate Masters.\u00a0 This is a modern retelling of The Griffin with the added bonus of some paranormal and hot rock star mixed in.\u00a0 For my full review keep reading after the book blurb.\u00a0&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[287,389,541,1299,1566,1567],"class_list":["post-3930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-cate-masters","tag-curse","tag-fairy-tale","tag-rockstar","tag-the-griffin","tag-the-griffins-secret"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
