About this listen
Cassandra Palmer may be the all-powerful Pythia now, but that doesn't mean people have stopped trying to kill her. Most of the supernatural power players don't want independent-minded Cassie as chief clairvoyant - and they'll stop at nothing to see her six feet under.
The Vampire Senate does support Cassie in her position, but their protection comes with a price: an alliance with the sexy master vampire Mircea, who has claimed Cassie as his own. But even the vampires will have trouble keeping Cassie alive now that the self-styled god Apollo, the source of the Pythia's power, has it in for her in a big way.
To save her life - and the world - Cassie's going to have to face down her creator once and for all.
Spend some more time with Cassandra Palmer.©2010 Karen Chance (P)2010 TantorListeners also enjoyed...

Cassandra Palmer can see the future and communicate with spirits - talents that make her attractive to the dead and the undead alike. The ghosts of the dead aren't usually dangerous; they just like to talk...a lot. The undead are another matter. Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires, but when the bloodsucking mafioso she escaped three years ago finds Cassie again with vengeance on his mind, she's forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection.

John Pritkin has been trying to recover from a demon curse that separated his body and soul and almost killed him. The reunification has left him with a flood of memories to process, some that he recalls from his past and some that he doesn't, as well as wonky magic, fluctuating power levels, and a splitting headache. Something that only intensifies when he finds himself stuck in a city under siege - by his fellow war mages. As the only one not overwhelmed by a massive enthrallment spell, John must find a way to free his fellow mages before they destroy themselves.

Best book in the series so far!!!
Karen Chance really hit her stride with this installment, the evolving partnership between Cassie and Pritkin is fabulous, and left me rolling with laughter! I had almost lost interest with this series, and am really glad I decided to try one more book. Now I'm hooked and hoping the next one is equally as much fun.

Karen Chance + Cynthia Holloway = MAGIC
Book 4 finds Cassie desperately trying to find someone to help her learn to use her new Pythian powers. She tries to make nice with the Silver Circle but they refuse to recognize her as Pythia and place a bounty on her head. Apollo and his allies are also after her.
In an effort to protect her, Mircea puts Cassie in the penthouse at Dantes surrounded by powerful golden-eyed master vampires. All this protection has Cassie feeling like a prisoner. Her struggles to get some respect as Pythia lead to some wild adventures and hilarious situations. I love the scenes with Marco and the vampire bodyguards. Marco instantly became one of my favorite characters in the series.
This the best book in the series so far. It is clever, original, imaginative and laugh out loud funny. Karen Chance is at her best when she writes comic scenes and Cynthia Holloway is an awesome voice actress! I think Holloway must do voice-overs because she can create so many different character voices. Despite all the time travel, some of the funniest and most memorable scenes in this series take place in Dante's Casino in Vegas.

Keep Them Coming
This is a great book. An easy listen and a fun, quick romp through a magical world that, frankly, I wish I lived in. Cassie Palmer is quirky, and although maybe not a fully 'rounded' character, she has an arc that shows some major personality. Plus, she's spunky, and I like it! Narrator is really great, following the numerous action sequences easily now and giving every character their own inflections and nuances. You really need to start from the beginning with this series, too much is happening to try to catch up and really get into it. Every book gets better!

Finally
Cassie, Mircea, and Pritkin are back and dysfunctional as ever. In this installment, the world's chief clairvoyant tries to be assertive, stay alive and oh yeah, kill a god in her spare time. This is just a fun series. The author is witty and the characters are ridiculous and I love it all. Holloway is a solid narrator but is unable to produce a British accent for Pritkin.

Keeps getting better!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I really like all the action and creative writing!
Any additional comments?
The author needs to wrap up the love triangle! It's time to rely on her writing for something other than keeping this love triangle going and going and going!! I have who I'd like her to finally choose but it's not Pritkin.....sorry!

Great story, Horrid pronunciation
If you could sum up Curse the Dawn in three words, what would they be?
Supernatural action romance
What was one of the most memorable moments of Curse the Dawn?
The lay line car chase was well written and fun.
Would you be willing to try another one of Cynthia Holloway’s performances?
Only if I REALLY wanted to know the story. Big tip: If a word is used frequently, learn how to pronounce it! "Malevolent" has only one "N" in it, sister, and it ain't in the beginning. As far as I know, "menevolent" isn't a word
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I have no idea. This is a stupid question.
Any additional comments?
Yes, the story here is heavily reliant upon the other books in the series, so if you are a "Cassie Palmer" beginner, start at the beginning, and do the series right. You'll enjoy the trip much more. That said, the series only gets better (except, of course, for the performance, which continues to be badly pronounced). As far as the supernatural element goes, just go with it-- suspension of disbelief is a happy thing, and this series/book will go anywhere it damn well pleases. Ghosts? Check. Vampires? Check. Fey? Check. Pissed off ancient Greek gods? Double check. If you haven't heard of a weird creature, don't worry-- Cassie/Karen Chance is very nice about explaining everything and its relationship to the other things.

Great story!
I really love these books! They're full of sexy funny adventure - the characters are great and just the right amount of imperfect (i.e. they're human). You'd like to meet each of them. The world building is well done, the dialog is witty, and the plot is interesting and surprising.
The reader is pretty good. I like her tone of voice for Cassie. She can sound a little stiff at times and she mispronounces a word here and there, but its a small annoyance and doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the book.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
