Of Wicked Blood (The Quatrefoil Chronicles, #1)
Olivia Wildenstein
No rest for the wicked... or the cursed. SLATE I didn’t mean to steal the Bloodstone from the De Morel’s crypt. Scratch that, I did mean to steal it. Until I realized it was a curse-magnet that only comes off if I, along with a jolly trio, successfully defeat four curses. If any of us fail, I’m dead. I’ve never been a glass half-empty sort of person, but my glass looks in dire need of a refill right about now. The only highlight of this wicked treasure hunt: feisty, entitled Cadence de Morel. CADENCE I was raised on tales of magic, in a small town reputed to be the birthplace of French witchcraft. Did I believe all the stories I heard? Absolutely not. I mean, if magic existed, Maman wouldn’t have died, and Papa wouldn’t be stuck in a wheelchair, right? Wrong. The night Slate Ardoin waltzes into my life, wearing a ring he stole from my mother’s grave, I call him a monster. But then I meet real ones, and Slate, well . . . he becomes something else to me. Something frustrating to live with but impossible to live without. Something I will fight for, no matter the cost. *Warning: profuse cursing (and not just the magical kind).

0I am a Wicked big fan of Olivia Wildenstein and have been for a very long time. The first book in her Masterful Series is one of the first books I was given to review on NetGalley when I first started and that was a fantastic read. If you have not read that series, I highly recommend it. Katie Hayoz is new to me but I plan to do some book research on her as well because this duo writing was amazing. The atmosphere set around Brume and the magical history of the area was exquisite. When you can picture a place in my mind and it has got its own personality and life then you know the author did a stunning job bringing the place to life. The characters were a group of interesting humans that all had their own personalities and dimensions. I loved Cadence and Slate as a couple and I loved the slow buildup that was their relationship because it made it feel real and not something that these two authors put together just to fill pages. What I really liked was the magic and the challenges that each character had to go through to get their leaf.
I am invested in the magic I am invested in the characters and I cannot wait to see what comes next in this story. January 11th, 2022 cannot come soon enough. I cannot wait to see what comes next for Cadence and Slate and all the other characters that made this read such a magical ride. I only stopped reading long enough to let my kindle charge and I enjoyed every minute. Thank you, NetGalley and these lovely women for giving me the chance to be part of this magical journey.
