Review:
Myth: 4.5/5
A modern-day Romeo & Juliette reimagining with a magical twist. I couldn’t get enough of the rival families, challenged loyalties and lengths to which the characters would go for love. There were a lot of characters, which is sometimes intimidating at the beginning of a book, but they were all introduced and used beautifully within the story.
Magic: 4/5
Set in Manhattan, the rival families were witches with interests outside the ‘allowed’ magical uses. Magical drug dealing, magical human trafficking and finally, someone made a fae character a modern-day lawyer. My life is complete.
Overall: 4.5/5
A compelling read, the story pushes you to flip every page. The story sends characters careening for conflict, big clashes, and for demise. I couldn’t read it fast enough.
