Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury is about a Black Canadian teen named Voya who has to kill her first love or her family’s powers will be lost forever. The only catch? Voya’s never been in love before.
I have to say it was incredible to read about a Sri Lankan family in a fantasy book, which is something I have never seen before. Perfect for fans of Legendborn and Matched.
Trigger Warning: A whipping scene in the context of slavery, gun and police violence, a character with an eating disorder, blood/gore violence, death, substance abuse/addiction, and mentions of child neglect.
Overall thoughts: This was a magical debut novel and I can’t wait to read the sequel whenever it comes out! If you’re a fan of enemies-to-lovers fantasy books with a dysfunctional family dynamic then this is the perfect book for you.
