The Bone Witch by Ivy Asher
5.0

Good

WARNING! There’s a level 5/5 cliffhanger here, so you’ll want to line up book two immediately!

Lennox Osseous is a Bone Witch. Oh she didn’t expect to inherit the family mantle, and it’s not an entirely happy event given that her beloved grandmother had to die for her to become the Osteomancer.
She’s been the osteomancer for less than a day when trouble walks in. Rogan Kendricks is a hemamancer with a missing brother he wants to find, and he will do anything he has to- including tying Leni to him magically!

An engrossing read, this has it all: danger, betrayal, romance, adventure, magic…
Lennox is a new witch, unfortunately she’s also naïve and ignorant about much of the witching world.
Rogan is a man on the edge; his past makes him ruthless, often at Leni’s expense.
The tension mounts throughout the book, ending in a cliffhanger that makes me glad I’m reading after the next book is already out! It’s a story-driven plot, where a lot of the world building is only gradually revealed as you go along. This adds a little bit of mystery to it all, but fortunately Lennox is almost as clueless, so we learn a lot as she does!
An enchanting read for Urban Fantasy Fans.
