I read this book a while back, so my memory of it has dimmed a bit. I really love the heck out of both Benna Yovanoff and Maggie Stiefvater. Tessa Gratton is the third member of their writer's group, the Merry Sisters of Fate. They have published one joint book of stories, The Curiosities, that ...

I've given up of this book the moment a guy, Nick or whatever, said something along the lines "I hope she's not one of those freaks who cut themselves". Any book shaming on eating disorders, depression and/or self-harming issues is a big 'no' for me. Maybe it didn't stuck to many readers of this boo...

I picked this book up sometime last year simply because I loved the premise of the second book, The Blood Keeper. I finally got around to reading Blood Magic and I'm so glad I did. This is a great premise for a series that is definitely dark and the kind of stuff that I love.Silla isn't a normal tee...

Guys, I have to be honest with you all: I almost DNF-ed this one. But I didn't and in the end I'm happy I stuck with it!I really like the idea of blood magic and having to make sacrifices for your abilities.

This review was first posted on Music, Books and TeaBlood Magic is a book that, if it hadn't of been for my local library, I would have never picked up and read. I never imagined myself enjoying Blood Magic as much as I did, as I had heard some mixed things about it. Whilst it wasn't a perfect book,...

My Thoughts: This is going to sound bad. This book was mainly forgettable to me. It's been awhile since I finished it and the main characters did not stick with me. What did stay with me were the side stories. The background of both Silla and Nick's parents. I found their stories to be more interest...
