À propos de cet audio
A rich, dark urban fantasy debut following a teen witch who is given a horrifying task: sacrificing her first love to save her family’s magic. The problem is, she’s never been in love—she’ll have to find the perfect guy before she can kill him.
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. 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. And this time, failure means every Thomas witch will be stripped of their magic.
Voya is determined to save her family’s magic no matter the cost. 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. Fortunately, a genetic matchmaking program has just hit the market. Her plan is to join the program, fall in love, and complete her task before the deadline. 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. If she wants to save their heritage and Luc, she’ll have to find something her ancestor wants more than blood. And in witchcraft, blood is everything.

Briseis has a gift: she can grow plants from tiny seeds to rich blooms with a single touch. When Briseis’ aunt dies and wills her a dilapidated estate in rural New York, Bri and her parents decide to leave Brooklyn behind for the summer. Hopefully there, surrounded by plants and flowers, Bri will finally learn to control her gift. But their new home is sinister in ways they could never have imagined - it comes with a specific set of instructions, an old-school apothecary and a walled garden filled with the deadliest botanicals in the world.

Only in Tananen do people worship a single deity: the Deathless Goddess. Only in this small, forbidden realm are there those haunted by words of no language known to woman or man. The words are Her Gift, and they summon magic. Mage scribes learn to write Her words as intentions: spells to make beasts or plants, designed to any purpose. If an intention is flawed, what the mage creates is a gossamer: a magical creature as wild and free as it is costly for the mage.

Audible’s version is superb!

It's all set in the context of a Black family, and one of the main characters is trans, so there are some deep discussions about prejudice and community.
The only minor nitpick I had was that Voya's thoughts did tend to repeat a lot or spell out the obvious and could have been trimmed, but ultimately it helped sell how much of an overthinker she is.
The voice performance was awesome and really brought the characters to life!
Can't wait for book 2!

But that part aside. I really enjoyed this book. The magic is cool. Being set in Canada is ALWAYS a win in my mind. (yeah I'm biased about it so what?) I love the colour and vibrancy in Sambury's writing. It felt more alive and popped more for me.
The conflict I initially rolled my eyes at. But as it played out I became more and more drawn in. While I feel like the solution was a little too on the nose. I got it, it made sense.
Personally, I thought her first love was going to be her family and she was going to have to fail the test on purpose. Choosing to not be forced into a lose-lose situation by her ancestor. Destroying her family to save her family. And when this idea came into my head I was HOOKED to see how it was gonna play out.
The writing was pretty good and the story was enjoyable. I did have a bit of an issue with repeated moments. Like I think they hounded the point of the uncle shadowing Grandma like he wanted to be the next matriarch like 3-4 times and it really only needed to be said once when it was relevant to the plot. Little things like that. It doesn't ruin the experience but kinda feels like unnecessary fluff.
I do love the inclusivity in the book. Its not forced or so critical to the plot that it might put others off. Its just "This is the world. Deal with it." and seriously I LOVE that. The cooking made me hungry every damn time! and I often read during lunch so I was already eating. I didn't even know the dishes and I wanted them.
While I finished this novel and I will definitely be going into book 2 at some point it didn't leave me chomping at the bit for book 2. Its on my radar for sure though. It was a comfortable ending and I look forward to reading more of Liselle Sambury's work.
it gets better
