5.0

I personally had a tougher time getting through the first 100 pages of Blood Like Magic, but NOT with Blood Like Fate! I was invested from the beginning, 300 pages seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye, and I could NOT have predicted how this ended in a million years.

If you haven't read the first book, this would be a good point to stop reading this review. No major spoilers, but with this being the second book, there are some inherent ones!

We are still following Voya, who is now the Thomas Matriarch with TWO gifts. Justin is trapped in a NuSap body in the Thomas's basement, along with Keis being trapped in the house. Luc is not speaking to Voya still, the family doesn't trust Voya in the Matriarch role and then something happens: She looks into the future and sees ALL witches in turmoil, with Luc wishing it wouldn't have happened.

What I thoroughly enjoyed with this book was seeing the other witch families, going to their homes, learning their personalities, and seeing how they each felt about Voya's vision. I feel like their backstories were fleshed out and I was invested in every single character (good and bad of course).


I thought the ending with twisty and perfect, lovely, and a wonderful way to close out the duology. I would HIGHLY recommend :)
