I don’t recall the previous generations having loved, then died.  I thought it was Harry’s father, who married for love after being widowed, that reminded Neal, Harry, and Margaret of the curse.   

I enjoyed the hint of paranormal to challenge the reader – is it real or imagined?   I can tell you that each book has a different prologue (as Maxwell included the prologue of THE DEVIL’S HEART in the back of THE SCOTTISH WITCH).   The three prologues give us a different perspective – Finella, Rose, and finally Charles.  I am looking forward to THE DEVIL’S HEART as Margaret struggles to reverse the curse.
