Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton

4.0

This book was sitting on my to-read shelf, literally, for five years. The title sort of put me off, and the main character's name is so silly I assumed it would be really painfully typical YA. And I got it for free, so I just kept putting it off.

I finally decided to read it since I was on vacation, and I figured I could leave it behind when I was done. Well, unfortunately, the book was so darn good that I had to shlep it all the way home so I can lend it to other people!!

The plot is really different - I love how accepting everyone is of the magic, and how open and honest the main characters are with the other people in their lives. The romance feels very real and engaging, and the different points of view are earned and interesting. Can't wait to read the next one!
