nyneve 's review for:

Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
3.75
adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

Fantasy French setting. The magic system is interesting and rather dark. Lou’s magic demands balance. There are also blood witches. Based on the description I thought Reid would know or at least suspect she was a witch, but that doesn’t come out until nearly the end. Their somewhat convoluted parentage is a bit too much of a coincidence to be realistic. I did really enjoy Reid’s character development in particular
This one spans from before they met through their escape from Lou’s mother and coven.
