Blood Like Fate

Blood Like Magic

De: Liselle Sambury

Narrado por: Joniece Abbott-Pratt

In the spellbinding sequel to Blood Like Magic, Voya fights to save her witch community from a terrible future in this “poignant, smart, and wholly unique” (Tracy Deonn, New York Times bestselling author of Legendborn) novel that’s perfect for fans of Legendborn and Cemetery Boys.

Voya Thomas may have passed her Calling to become a full-fledged witch, but the cost was higher than she’d ever imagined.

Her grandmother is gone.

Her cousin hates her.

And her family doesn’t believe that she has what it takes to lead them.

What’s more, Voya can’t let go of her feelings for Luc, sponsor son of the genius billionaire Justin Tremblay—the man that Luc believes Voya killed. Consequently, Luc wants nothing to do with her. Even her own ancestors seem to have lost faith in her. Every day Voya begs for their guidance, but her calls go unanswered.

As Voya struggles to convince everyone—herself included—that she can be a good Matriarch, she has a vision of a terrifying, deadly future. A vision that would spell the end of the Toronto witches. With a newfound sense of purpose, Voya must do whatever it takes to bring her shattered community together and stop what's coming for them before it’s too late.

Even if it means taking down the boy she loves—who might be the mastermind behind the coming devastation.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Abbott-Pratt’s true-to-life voices not only make it easy to tell the large cast of characters apart but they also endow the characters with distinct personalities. Abbott-Pratt excels at the type of youthful voices needed for YA narration."–AudioFile Magazine

love it

everything I excepted and more get story, great ending great reader, love how it unfolds

Mixed

I just hate how week she was until the very end! I refuse to believe kace wouldve gotten over such betrayal! however i did not see the villian coming. nor did i see aqua coming! great overall!

Even better than the first book

I enjoyed the series, but especially the second book. It's a unique world that mixes magic and tech. There is a lot about family dynamics and that's not usually my thing, but I got invested. I enjoyed seeing how the characters' actions in the first book got spun out into various consequences in the sequel--how the past, present, and future interacted. I got caught up in the suspense. Some twists I saw coming, some I did not. The narrator was good. Overall an enjoyable listen.

This book is sparked!

Wow! This was actually a great second book. I had a few grievances, but honestly, the good outweighed the negative so it's not worth mentioning... except one thing. So, incoming spoiler alert!

The secret villain that I won't name... well, them being still treated as part of the family was wild to me. They you know what 2 people and let another you know what AND was about to let the whole community suffer.

Their punishment wasn't enough, or it could have been except they're part of the family and showing up gatherings. That was too hard to believe. But that's my only gripe.

Amazing messages

This book was so good and had so many great messages. Topics ranged from substance use, self identity, family dysfunction, privilege and power. I enjoyed it very much.

Pulls you in.

I got really pulled in by all the emotion. The story line was well written. I really enjoyed the book.

Amazing sequel

The story telling and metaphors and humanity found in this book are just everything I need. Beautifully written and spoken

The twists and turns kept me glued in!

I really enjoyed this duology. I was so invested in the characters, the story. There were a lot of plot twists in this second book with made it even more engaging. I’m here for these black fantasy writers!

Genius Continued.

The character development from the first novel is stupendous. I loved experiencing the dialogue between characters, the nuances of the relationships, and my own experiences of processing grief by experience their stories.

It’s a wonderful work that reflects the times we’re living in. That’s what powerful art is supposed to do. I am grateful to have had this experience.

Loved it

This was a fantastic series. I rarely read this type of book but after reading the first book. I have now become a fan. The reading of this book was wonderful and the writing was so creative. I am looking forward to reading more from this Author.
