About Cursed Daughters

THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE GLOBAL MEGA-SELLER, MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER, A NOVEL ABOUT BROKEN HEARTS AND UNBREAKABLE CURSES...

No man will call your house his home. And if they try, they will not have peace.

So goes the family curse, long handed down from generation to generation, ruining families and breaking hearts. And now it's Eniiyi's turn - who, due to her uncanny resemblance to her dead aunt, Monife, is already used to her family's strange beliefs, as well as their insistence that she is a reincarnation. Still, when she falls in love with the handsome boy she saves from drowning, she can no longer run from her family's history.

Is she destined to live out the habitual story of love and heartbreak, or can she escape the family curse and the mysterious fate that befell her aunt?
