âHigh stakes, big heart, and lots of Black Girl MagicâŠunputdownable.â âAiden Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys
A rich, dark urban fantasy debut following a teen witch who is given a horrifying task: sacrificing her first love to save her familyâs magic. The problem is, sheâs never been in loveâsheâll have to find the perfect guy before she can kill him.
After years of waiting for her Callingâa trial every witch must pass to come into their powersâthe one thing Voya Thomas didnât expect was to fail. When Voyaâs ancestor gives her an unprecedented second chance to complete her Calling, she agreesâand then is horrified when her task is to kill her first love. And this time, failure means every Thomas witch will be stripped of their magic.
Voya is determined to save her familyâs magic no matter the cost. The problem is, Voya has never been in love, so for her to succeed, sheâll first have to find the perfect guyâand fast. Fortunately, a genetic matchmaking program has just hit the market. Her plan is to join the program, fall in love, and complete her task before the deadline. What she doesnât count on is being paired with the infuriating Lucâhow can she fall in love with a guy who seemingly wants nothing to do with her?
With mounting pressure from her family, Voya is caught between her morality and her duty to her bloodline. If she wants to save their heritage and Luc, sheâll have to find something her ancestor wants more than blood. And in witchcraft, blood is everything.

This was a very well written book! The plot was compelling, the characters complex and the magic and atmosphere just wonderful!

Intressant plot och en hel viktiga teman men var tyvĂ€rr alldeles för mycket som störde, framförallt i karaktĂ€rernas val men Ă€ven textens uppbyggnad. De som ska vara goda Ă€r âondareâ/beter sig vĂ€rre Ă€n antagonisten vilket gör att man i slutĂ€ndan inte hejar pĂ„ dom. Alldeles för mĂ„nga karaktĂ€rer och information presenteras i introt. Texten innehĂ„ller för mycket beskrivningar och inre monologer. Bra upplĂ€st.
