Today I'm featuring fellow GAP author, Margo Dill, and her new YA book, Caught Between Two Curses.
Margo Dill’s newly published young adult paranormal romance novel, Caught Between Two Curses, is a fast-paced,
easy read for teens. It is especially
appealing to those teens caught on the horns of a dilemma in their first experience
with romantic love -- dealing with the issues of sex for the first time.
This story has
interesting characters, a double curse plot line, and emotional depth. It has humor in the daily grind and even features
the Great American Past-time: Baseball!
The main character, Julie Nigelson is right smack dab in the
middle of a family curse, and in a race against time to remove it. Her family’s curse is also somehow tied to
the Chicago Cubs’ Billy Goat Curse:
“Seventeen-year-old Julie Nigelson
is cursed. So is her entire family. And it's not just any-old-regular curse,
either-it's strangely connected to the famous "Curse of the Billy
Goat" on the Chicago Cubs. Julie must figure out this mystery while her
uncle lies in a coma and her entire love life is in ruins: her boyfriend Gus is pressuring her to have sex,
while her best friend Matt is growing more attractive to her all the time.
Somehow, Julie must figure out how to save her uncle, her family's future, and
her own love life-and time is running out!”
Tragically, this curse on Julie's family has already taken the lives of
three members of her family and is threatening a fourth, Uncle Henri. Plus, it will continue to affect her family until
and unless Julie can figure out the clues from the riddle in an old letter her grandmother gave her, and
solve the puzzle in time to save her uncle – and her own future as well.
Ms. Dill's story has it all:
intrigue in the form of a magical curse, complex family relationships,
“true love” – plus all the high school senior year angst anyone could ever
want. The scenes at the high school are
so realistic you wonder if Ms. Dill “snuck in” and eavesdropped to get it just
right! Please grab your copy – gift one
to a friend -- and enjoy!
Caught Between Two Curses is published by Rocking Horse Publishing and available from
quality online booksellers, like www.Amazon.com.

This is the second published book for Margo Dill. I also reviewed her first book, Finding My Place: One Girl's Strength at Vicksburg. (My December 11, 2012 review is in my Blog Archives.) It's a realistic historical novel set in Civil War time, about a young girl dealing with war time survival, loss, and family responsibilities.
