Let’s explore how this captivating series came to life and why it’s a must-read for fantasy fans.
How Weird Girls Began
Cecy Robson, a registered nurse with a passion for storytelling, dreamed up the Weird Girls series after a vivid dream of four fierce sisters with werewolf boyfriends. Inspired by her love for Latin American folklore and authors like Patricia Briggs, Robson crafted a world where the Wird sisters—outcasts due to a backfired curse—fight to find their place. Set in the mystical Lake Tahoe region, the series began with a novella in 2012, introducing readers to a vibrant supernatural community.
Robson’s background as a Latina author infuses the series with cultural depth, while her knack for humor and action makes it accessible and fun. Her goal was to create a story that balanced gritty battles with heartfelt moments, drawing readers into a world where family is everything, even when you’re not quite human.
The Heart of Weird Girls
The series kicks off with The Weird Girls, a novella where Celia Wird and her sisters—Taran, Shayna, and Emme—settle in Lake Tahoe, only to spark a feud with a witch’s coven after a bar brawl. This fast-paced intro sets the stage for Sealed with a Curse, the first full novel, where Celia teams up with vampire Misha and werewolf Aric to stop a bloodlust plague, all while navigating a steamy love triangle. A Cursed Embrace ramps up the stakes as the sisters face a demonic Tribe targeting them, and Cursed by Destiny sees Celia grappling with a prophecy that could shatter her romance with Aric.
Themes of sisterhood, identity, and resilience shine through, with the Wird sisters’ unbreakable bond anchoring the chaotic supernatural world. Robson’s Lake Tahoe setting, rich with magical lore, feels alive, from misty forests to vampire lairs. The series’ blend of humor, romance, and gritty action—think snarky one-liners followed by demon-slaying—creates a dynamic tone that keeps readers hooked. Each sister’s unique powers, like Shayna’s metal manipulation or Emme’s healing, add layers to the fast-paced plots.
The series spans multiple books and novellas, with each installment deepening the lore and character arcs. Fans praise Robson’s ability to balance emotional depth with adrenaline-fueled battles, making the Weird Girls a standout in urban fantasy for its diverse cast and inclusive storytelling.
