Readers who enjoy rich lore and magic that comes with rules and consequences will enjoy the depiction of witches in this book.
I enjoyed the portrayal of witches in Blood Like Magic, particularly since the story takes place in the future where technology has permeated every aspect of society. If she fails, she risks stripping away her whole family’s magic forever. However, her ancestor gives her another chance: destroy her first love (who she will need to find and fall in love with). When Voya receives her Calling, a test from her ancestor in order to receive a gift, she unexpectedly fails. Set in 2049’s Toronto, Blood Like Magic follows Black-Canadian teen Voya who belongs to a long line and history of witches. I had such a wonderful time with this book, and I’m excited to share with you all my thoughts on this book. With its fascinating take on a not-so-distant futurism blended with witches, a story that explores how far you would go to save your family, the price we pay for love, and the looming question of ‘if you had to sacrifice your first love to save your family, would you?’, Blood Like Magic is undeniably compelling and fascinating. Because holy smokes, Blood Like Magic is truly unlike any book that I have read before. ‘Woah’ was the word that escaped my mouth when I finished this. I received a digital advanced readers copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. If she wants to save their heritage and Luc, she’ll have to find something her ancestor wants more than blood. With mounting pressure from her family, Voya is caught between her morality and her duty to her bloodline. What she doesn’t count on is being paired with the infuriating Luc-how can she fall in love with a guy who seemingly wants nothing to do with her? Her plan is to join the program, fall in love, and complete her task before the deadline.
Fortunately, a genetic matchmaking program has just hit the market. The problem is, Voya has never been in love, so for her to succeed, she’ll first have to find the perfect guy-and fast. Voya is determined to save her family’s magic no matter the cost. And this time, failure means every Thomas witch will be stripped of their magic.
When Voya’s ancestor gives her an unprecedented second chance to complete her Calling, she agrees-and then is horrified when her task is to kill her first love. After years of waiting for her Calling-a trial every witch must pass in order to come into their powers-the one thing Voya Thomas didn’t expect was to fail.
