Wild and Wicked Things by Francesca May

5.0

When I began my journey with this novel, I knew nothing of it except that I had seen it described as The Great Gatsby meets Practical Magic and I knew immediately that I needed to read it. I was drawn in immediately by the author's vivid character descriptions and world-building full of lush, enchanting imagery and a wide range of complex characters that are everything from bewitching and extraordinary to relatable and even unlikable. It truly lived up to the comparisons I'd seen mixing reckless, decadent parties for the wealthy with magical mishaps of love and family. From the beginning the plot took me by the hand and led me along at a steady pace and never let go and I absolutely LOVED every single minute of it.
