Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
4.0
I've been wanting to read this book ever since a bookstagram friend raved about it and it did not disappoint! Pretty much all I knew was that the storyline was centered on witches and that's all it took to get me on board.
Lou was such a great character. I loved how cheeky and irreverent she was, and how she didn't care what people thought of her. At the same time, there were moments when she was very vulnerable and I really felt for her and for all the things she had to do to survive. I also really loved Coco, her best friend. You could tell that she was a true friend who would always be loyal to Lou and protect her as best as she could.
I enjoyed learning more about this magic system (dames blanches vs. dames rouges) and how it operates. I'm also a little bit of a francophile, so I loved the French setting as well. My two small complaints are that maybe it was a little bit too long, and I also felt like Beau didn't quite have the same character development as some as of the other people.
This book was full of magic and strong characters that you can't help but root for. I'm really excited to read the next book in this series as I feel like there's still so much to explore in this world!
