Review:

I’m really confused. I don’t understand what happened in the last chapter of the book. I know she has the power to see the past and see her choices in front of her but I don’t understand the trade off of magic. I also don’t get why Keis is stuck in the house that seems like an unsatisfying end to the story. Her whole deal is choices but she didn’t consider that something else could have destroyed them. It was all for nothing!! She also didn’t end up with Luc which makes me really mad. This book kept me engaged but the ending was wrong and there were too many loose ends. I’m going to go and look up online what that last chapter meant. Interesting story with a poorly executed ending.

Synopsis From Book:

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.
