Cursed Objects

Cursed Objects: Strange but True Stories of the World's Most Infamous Items

🎧Audiobook

by J.W. Ocker

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Dive deep into J.W. Ockers study and research into strange and cursed objects around the world! He meticulously investigates tales and lore behind many of history’s most famous cursed objects and many lesser known. 


I was rapt in his tales and facts he provided for each object. His writing style for this topic had an easy story teller-like flow and made made these dark and cursed objects into fascinating tales. I was hoped from the beginning. I have read many listicles and watched similar YouTube videos on this subject and I found Ocker’s research much more thorough and engaging.



The narration of this book flowed well and made it easy to get lost in the cursed objects and tales described. I felt that it was like listening to a conversation in the way the narrator’s speech flowed, making it easy to keep up with and stay interested in. I thoroughly enjoyed this narrators voice and cadence. 


I was enraptured by the tales told and I found myself on a tablet as I listened looking up images of the objects as I listened. I plan on purchasing a copy the physical book in the near future! This was a great book and fun audiobook, I highly recommend it.




Cursed Objects by J.W. Ocker is scheduled to release September 15th, 2020.



I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook from Tantor Audio, via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love!

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
