The first in a trilogy,
this gritty, fast-paced fantasy is rife with the unexpected. Cassel
comes from a shady, magical family of con artists and grifters. He
doesn’t fit in at home or at school, so he’s used to feeling like an
outsider. He’s also used to feeling guilty—he killed his best friend,
Lila, years ago.
But when Cassel begins to have strange dreams about a white cat, and people around him are losing their memories, he starts to wonder what really happened to Lila. In his search for answers, he discovers a wicked plot for power that seems certain to succeed. But Cassel has other ideas—and a plan to con the conmen.

Red Glove (Curse Workers #2)
Curses and cons. Magic
and the mob. In Cassel Sharpe's world, they go together. Cassel always
thought he was an ordinary guy, until he realized his memories were
being manipulated by his brothers. Now he knows the truth—he’s the most
powerful curse worker around. A touch of his hand can transform
anything—or anyone—into something else.
That was how Lila, the girl he loved, became a white cat. Cassel was tricked into thinking he killed her, when actually he tried to save her. Now that she's human again, he should be overjoyed. Trouble is, Lila's been cursed to love him, a little gift from his emotion worker mom. And if Lila's love is as phony as Cassel's made-up memories, then he can't believe anything she says or does.
When Cassel's oldest brother is murdered, the Feds recruit Cassel to help make sense of the only clue—crime-scene images of a woman in red gloves. But the mob is after Cassel too—they know how valuable he could be to them. Cassel is going to have to stay one step ahead of both sides just to survive. But where can he turn when he can't trust anyone—least of all, himself?
Love is a curse and the con is the only answer in a game too dangerous to lose.

Black Heart (Curse Workers #3)
Cassel Sharpe knows he’s
been used as an assassin, but he’s trying to put all that behind him.
He’s trying to be good, even though he grew up in a family of con
artists and cheating comes as easily as breathing to him. He’s trying to
do the right thing, even though the girl he loves is inextricably
connected with crime. And he’s trying to convince himself that working
for the Feds is smart, even though he’s been raised to believe the
government is the enemy.
But with a mother on the lam, the girl he loves about to take her place in the Mob, and new secrets coming to light, the line between what’s right and what’s wrong becomes increasingly blurred. When the Feds ask Cassel to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he needs to sort out what’s a con and what’s truth. In a dangerous game and with his life on the line, Cassel may have to make his biggest gamble yet—this time on love.

Copertile sunt superbe! <6
pare o poveste interesanta, cateva coperti sunt dragute, dar unele sunt cam horror, ca cea cu mana plina de sange, cel mai mult imi place coperta cu trandafirul si fluturele.
subscriu si eu la parerea andrei :D
desi, daca stau bine sa ma gandesc, cel mai mult cred ca-mi place coperta cu mana inmanusata si pisica pe plan secundar.
Sunt frumoase copertile si-mi plac si descrierile.
dragute sunt toate! si copertile si descrierile!
E chiar interesanta seria si copertile imi plac majoritatea... De la Holly Black nu am citit decat Cronicile Spiderwick dar mi-ar placea sa citesc acum ceva mai pentru varsta mea...
Eu cred ca toate copertile sunt frumoase pentru ca sunt in concordanta cu ideea si tema textului, deci nu e nimic de reprosat. Sa zicem ca e o avertizare: coperti sangeroase-poveste sangeroasa.
DAr chiar...ce s-a intamlat cu Lila? Chiar a ucis-o el?
de mult timp am pus ochii pe seria asta. as vrea sa o citesc si ar fi super daca ar aparea si la noi
