Book Synopsis:
Kira’s spells always end the same—rain and violent storms. She’s what’s called a Defect, and that means one of two things in the witch world—losing your magic or death. After faking her demise, Kira is in hiding. She risks exposure and travels the world, making the Defective magic that would get her killed into a gift by bringing rains to places that most need water.
The witch world has changed in the ten years Kira’s been gone. Kira doesn’t know that she has a much bigger part to play against an ancient danger that threatens the entire world. But the witches want her for their own greedy plans. Her only chance to escape the witch council is to hide in areas where her storms go unnoticed. After one last stop in Africa, she plans to disappear again.
But Kira’s past catches up with her and a decade old blood debt comes due. As if being prey to the witch world isn’t enough, her family’s history with the Russian Mafia causes an enemy who was once her childhood friend to hunt her down. She and her only ally Alex—a naïve American—team up to escape the underworld warlord. As Kira’s feelings for Alex grow, she fears he will be caught in the crossfire. To settle this debt, someone will have to die.
My Review:
Droplets Of Magic is a fast paced, action packed read from a new author for me.
Firstly I absolutely loved the world building in this book with the vivid descriptions of the world making me feel like I was actually there watching everything unfold. It’s set in a modern world which is recognisable in places to the one we know but one where magic exists but where it’s not necessarily a good thing to be able to do magic which I found very interesting. Each magician only has control over one element and I enjoyed exploring this concept alongside the characters.
There are some fantastic characters in this book who I enjoyed following throughout the book. Kira was a brilliant main character whose strength I admired as she tried to make things right. I also loved Rowan, who could make some clever potions, and Alex who helped make Kira’s journey a happier one with his good natured personality.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author in future. It’s actually the fourth book in the series but can easily be read as a standalone as I did. There was always something happening which made it very difficult to put down and lots of twists that kept me guessing. I’m now very intrigued to read what happens next and hope there’s not long to wait until the next book.
Huge thanks to Katie and Brey PA for inviting me to review and for my copy of this book.
