“High stakes, big heart, and lots of Black Girl Magic…unputdownable.” —Aiden 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 family’s magic. The problem is, she’s never been in love—she’ll have to find the perfect guy before she can kill him.After years of waiting for her Calling—a trial every witch must pass to come into their powers—the one thing Voya Thomas didn’t expect was to fail. When Voya’s ancestor gives her an unprecedented second chance to complete her Calling, she agrees—and 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 family’s magic no matter the cost. The problem is, Voya has never been in love, so for her to succeed, she’ll first have to find the perfect guy—and 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 doesn’t count on is being paired with the infuriating Luc—how 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, she’ll have to find something her ancestor wants more than blood. And in witchcraft, blood is everything.

"It's a great book with magic and science both. I was surprised by how much I could relate to Voya, and I bet others can easily relate to other characters in the book."

"There were a lot of elements of this book that I really liked. However, it just wasn't written all that well.. it got better toward the end but the beginning almost made me DNF. It is way too long and filled with a lot back and forth of what feels like repeated dialogue/narration. "

"One of the first fantasy books that I ever read and definitely one of my favorites. I loved how unique all of the characters were, and watching how things played out was very very interesting. The second book was possibly even better. the blood like magic series has, and will always be one of my absolute favourites."

"Just started reading this yesterday and this is the first book I've ever read with trans/non binary representation. I'm almost halfway through it and it did such a good job getting me out of my book slump I've had for the past year or so

"While this book was captivating (once you wade through all the indecisiveness and inward thoughts that take up 40% of the book) it is longer than it needed to be. I actually liked the ending in all but the first 200ish pages could've been curated down to 50ish."
