Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury (Blood Like Magic book 1)

 



“After years of waiting for her Calling—a trial every witch must pass in order 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.” - taken from Goodreads.com


This was a unique dark story about one girl’s path during her coming-of-age ritual to gain her family’s witch powers. When she fails at her first attempt and begs for a second chance, Voya Thomas is given the task of destroying her first love within the next 30 days. Easy right? Not even when Voya has yet to meet her first love. What begins as a quest to make her recent genetic match fall in love with her soon opens the tightly locked vault of family secrets that the adults tried to keep buried. A thrilling and unexpected ending that sets up a new story arc for the next book in the series.


The story will continue with book two, expected sometime in 2022.
