Blood Like Magic is an intoxicating, skillful blend of science fiction and fantasy that reads like an enthralling dream. 'Liselle Sambury builds a world not far from our own, where blood is both weapon and salvation. If she wants to save their heritage and Luc, she'll have to find something her ancestor wants more than blood. 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. Her plan is to join the program, fall in love, and complete her task before the deadline.

Fortunately, a genetic matchmaking program has just hit the market. 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. Voya is determined to save her family's magic no matter the cost. And this time, failure means every Thomas witch will be stripped of their magic. 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. After years of waiting for her Calling-a trial every witch must pass to come into their powers-the one thing Voya Thomas didn't expect was to fail. The problem is, she's never been in love-she'll have to find the perfect guy before she can kill him.
