The futuristic setting is made even more interesting when combined with the role that family and ancestry play. The book blends urban fantasy seamlessly into a sci-fi Toronto of the not-too-distant future - complete with technology like chips that allow people to read text messages as they flash before their eyes - and adds a dash of suspense. And in witchcraft, blood is everything.įrom the start of this debut novel, Sambury's excellent world-building is apparent. If she wants to save their heritage and Luc, she'll have to find something her ancestor wants more than blood. With mounting pressure from her family, Voya is caught between her morality and her duty to her bloodline. 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? 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 in order to come into their powers-the one thing Voya Thomas didn't expect was to fail.
