Cursed: Beholder 2 (Beholder Ser. #1)
by Christina BauerMost days, Elea couldn't care less about having Necromancer magick. Who needs to conjure skeletons and sprits when you're a farm girl? Elea only uses her powers to speed up chores and scare off suitors. Everything changes when the evil Necromancer Tsar curses Elea. Now, she only has five years left before she burns as a ghost, tortured for all eternity. They say there's nothing she can do, but Elea disagrees. She decides to embrace her Necromancer powers, train as a magickal assassin, and kill the Tsar... All before his curse kills her. Impossible as it may sound, Elea thinks she has it in the bag, but then everything goes horribly wrong. That's when a handsome mage named Rowan steps up to help. Elea wants an ally, but she doesn't need all the mixed-up feelings that come along with Rowan's crooked smile. An assassination mission is no time to fall in love, but Elea's heart may have other ideas...

Curses!: Curses!, Icy Clutches, And Make No Bones (The Gideon Oliver Mysteries #5)
by Aaron ElkinsOn an archeological excavation in Mexico, the Skeleton Detective must solve an ancient riddle and a modern murder: &“A series that never disappoints.&” —Philadelphia Inquirer Mayan ruins in the Yucatán . . . a secret room in a tomb . . . age‑old skeletons. To anthropologist Gideon Oliver, the renowned Skeleton Detective, the invitation to join the archaeological excavation of Tlaloc promises two months of paradise on Earth. That is, until an ancient series of Mayan curses against desecrators of the site is unearthed. When the first one comes to pass (&“The bloodsucking kinkajou will come freely among them&”), it is taken by all as a practical joke. But by the time the fourth one is apparently consummated (&“The one called Xecotcavach will pierce their skulls so that their brains spill onto the earth&”), nerves have begun to fray and suspicions and discord are mounting. The steamy jungles weigh down on the band of eccentric anthropologists as one by one the curses continue to materialize. It takes Gideon&’s special talents for deduction—along with the enigmatic insights of Mexico&’s one and only Mayan Indian inspector of the state judicial police—to resolve an ancient riddle and a modern, murderous mystery. Curses! is the 5th book in the Gideon Oliver Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
