Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton
Goodreads - April 26th, 2011
For Nick Pardee and Silla Kennicot, the cemetery is the center of everything.
Nick is a city boy angry at being forced to move back to the nowhere town of Yaleylah, Missouri where he grew up. He can’t help remembering his mom and the blood magic she practiced – memories he’s tried for five years to escape. Silla, though, doesn’t want to forget; her parents’ apparent murder-suicide left her numb and needing answers. When a book of magic spells in her dad’s handwriting appears on her doorstep, she sees her chance to unravel the mystery of their deaths.
Together they plunge into the world of dark magic, but when a hundred-year-old blood witch comes hunting for the bones of Silla’s parents and the spell book, Nick and Silla will have to let go of everything they believe about who they are, the nature of life and death, and the deadly secrets that hide in blood.
I think everyone and their mother has posted this as their WoW post - but the cover has finally come out and has given us all a chance to squee. So here I am, SQUEEING!
Can we have a show of hands, those of us who think 2011 is going to be fantastic?
I don't remember ever hearing about this book (then again I have a REALLY bad memeory) but that cover is definitely something to squee over. Hope you enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteCome see what my WOW is this week
Ooh, I've seen this book a few times in the past week or so. It's definitely really intriguing. I'm not sure how I feel about the cover - I can't really figure out what's going on, so I need to see it person. But I'm definitely excited for the book itself! Should be great.
