Book Review: Born of Blood and Magic

 

Violet “Vy” Finch is a vampire cursed, for the very blood she needs is poison to her. Suffering unquenchable hunger and shunned for being of mixed lineage, Vy searches desperately for her mother who disappeared over a decade ago—the one person who may be able to heal her. Unfortunately, a great sorceress prophesies that Vy will only get what she wants if Petra Malkovitch willingly works with her to find a magical relic with the power to change everything.

Petra Malkovitch is an assassin. A member of the Order of Light—a shadowy organization that hunts supernatural creatures for profit—she wants only to kill the vampire who took away the last of her family. When Petra’s attempt on Vy’s life is thwarted, she is shocked when her greatest enemy tells her that they can rewrite their pasts if they team up.

But is a common goal enough to bring them together, or will betrayal happen at the earliest opportunity?

My Review

Looking for your next sapphic, pnr read. Look no further than this book. I found it to be a very quick read. Once I started reading, I was sucked into the story. Digged the enemies to lovers' vibes that Vy and Petra were giving each other. 

The way that the dynamics of their relationship changed to become more intimate felt natural. The romantic scenes may be short, but they are still really good ones. I felt that Vy and Petra are equally matched. Although Petra may edge Vy out just slightly for me. 

There is no shortage of action to keep this story moving at a good pace. I look forward to reading the next book.
