YA
Jenn (Cursed; Damned) and her team prepare for a final stand against "the Cursed Ones" with combat strategy, magick, and their secret weapon--an airborne virus. Tension among the teammates runs high due to romantic entanglements and deep personal biases. Short, action-filled vignettes convey the vast scope of the conflict but make for a convoluted plot, and after so much tragic incident, the happy ending feels abrupt.
