The Ninth Curse K J Gillenwater

Nine curses. Nine weeks to live.




?Joel Hatcher has inherited more than a family legacy. It's a time bomb that's ticking down to the inevitable: his own death. But the curse won't die with him. Unless he can find a way to break the cycle, his younger brother becomes the next victim.




In the throes of the third curse, the Painful Pox, Joel makes a last-ditch decision to seek the help of a young spiritualist with expertise in the paranormal.




One look into Joel's suffering eyes, and "Madame Eugenie" finds herself torn between doing the right thing and fulfilling her most secret wish-bring her husband Adam back from the dead. Joel's cursed blood is the missing ingredient in her resurrection rituals, and Adam's vengeful spirit whispers seductively that there's only one way to get it: steal it.




As Gen and Joel unearth his family's past to track down a cure, they come closer to each other, and to a horrible truth. To live, Joel must lose everything. Including the woman he has grown to love.
