Narration Toward Books Blood Magic (The Blood Journals #1)

It starts off simply. Draw a circle... place a dead leaf in the center... sprinkle some salt... recite a little Latin... add a drop of blood... Maybe that last part isn’t exactly simple. Yet somehow it feels right to Silla Kennicott. And nothing in her life has felt remotely right since her parents’ horrific deaths. She’s willing to do anything to uncover the truth about her family—even try a few spells from the mysterious book that arrived on her doorstep ... and spill some blood. The book isn’t the only recent arrival in Silla’s life. There’s Nick Pardee, the new guy next door who may have seen Silla casting a spell. She’s not sure what he saw and is afraid to find out. But as they spend more time together, Silla realizes this may not be Nick’s first encounter with Blood Magic. Brought together by a combination of fate and chemistry, Silla and Nick can’t deny their attraction. And they can’t ignore the dark presence lurking nearby—waiting to reclaim the book and all its power.

Assessment Epithetical Books Blood Magic (The Blood Journals #1)

Review Posted on Reading Lark 6/10/11: http://readinglark.blogspot.com/2011/...I have been craving a good magic book since the Harry Potter series came to a conclusion. Blood Magic sated my hunger and is a triumphant debut novel for Tessa Gratton. She brings a dark new voice to YA literature that will send shivers up your spine and make you take a closer look at the world around you for everything is not always as it appears.Blood Magic is the story of Silla and Reese Kennicott, a sister and

4.5 starsBlood Magic isn't like any of the hocus pocus books I've read before. This one had a very unique flavor racing throughout the book. Tessa Gratton writing is cunningly crafted in a way that makes this book standout in a mysterious lushish way.The atmosphere has a life of it's very own. Thick, rich and intoxicating, while these characters have the most intriguing energy.There is a lot of blood in this book. It's frequently talked about, thought about and basically dripped out of these

Posted on: http://bookpassionforlife.blogspot.com/Ill admit I was a little bit hesitant before I started Blood Magic mainly because Ive read quite a few magic/witch books and none of them have been as good as I would of hoped. But, wow, where to start with Blood Magic!After the horrific deaths of her parents, Silla has never felt right. She doesnt fit in at school anymore and only has a few close friends. While trying to make sense of her parents death and believing there is something else going

I recieved the ARC version which I think is pretty much the same. The title threw me off there for a bit and so did the description. No offense to Meyer or anything but I'm very wary of vamp. books now. They're just a bad reminder of the Twilight Phase at school.Well anyways, this book is refreshingly un-vampy. Theres a romance there between the two main characters, but the story is pretty much action. And its pretty dark.I wouldn't say its a sad ending or anything though. I find this book

This book rocked my socks. A mixture of creepy and sexy, disturbing and exciting and all-around compelling.

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I stopped trying to enjoy Blood Magic. As the book began, I was uneasy about the wordiness of the prose, but this is the point at which I gave up:My heart beat faster, and I had to blink away the halo surrounding him. He was Mephistopheles, smiling and tempting me, his Dr. Faustus, to dance.If this crazy talk had happened even after a lifetime of knowing each other or under the influence of recreational drugs or if they were both 600 years old, that sentence

Because Blood Magic isn't out until May, I don't want to give too much away. Really, here's all you need to know: this book is fantastic.I love literary books, and I love a good paranormal story -- the darker, the better. However, I haven't found that many books that combine both: literary, layered writing in a ultra-dark paranormal that's super-commercial in concept. Blood Magic is all that, and more.From the first page, Tessa's prose blew me away. It's absolutely gorgeous. She's one of those
