This was a book I bought on a whim and I'm so glad I did!! This book was not only beautifully written, but it also takes you on so many emotional journeys. It's a truly a timeless tale of magic, prejudice, betrayal and love. Not to mention the wide range of strong, relatable characters. Anyone who picks up this book is sure to enjoy it!! I strongly recommend this read ❤️

This book draws you in. You become connected to those in the story as you experience their different points of view. Absolutely invigorating.
Blood and Bone
Published by hlrelford , 4 years ago
This kept me on my toes and begging for a sequel. So many similarities, yet differences, to the Harry Potter "magical" realm. If your an HP fan you would enjoy this series.

saw this book on Jimmy Fallon’s show and decided to see what it was about... as soon as it arrived the cover itself is pretty amazing wonderful image! But then I began to read it... I just became so entranced I didn’t want to put it down! This book takes you on a magical journey for sure! A definite must read!
One of the best books I've read in a while.

I read about it before it came out and thought it looked interesting. I kept up on everything happening with the book and found out a preview of about five chapters were released on Amazon. I read them and what do you know? The book had an amazing start! I preordered it and I could hardly put it down after it got here. If you're looking for a good read, you have found one.
