Dearest reader, this book is an ode to Bridgerton flushed with swathes of Practical Magic!
The amazing Darcy McGuire delivers again - if you aren't acquainted with her Queen's Deadly Damsels, then wow! are you in for a glorious exercise in witchiness with fire sparking and familiars, rife with broody, dark heroes with tragic pasts who are drawn together like moths to flame.
What I absolutely adore about Darcy is the heat she builds with her character interactions which leaves you breathless, hot and bothered. The electricity is palpable between the two protagonists who try to hide their inner turmoil, instead wielding their wit, to injure their ruthless, and yet, gorgeous adversary! The scathing contests between the straight laced lieutenant general Thomas Grey and the free spirited, yet peerless (see what i did there) Clio Blair are the stuff legends are made of..
With homage to the covens based on magical powers, and cousins with familiars residing and managing an apothecary aptly named All Things bright and beautiful, the story delves into the murder of Viscount Bletchley and his missing wife Violet... Each character has a unique quality and brings more to the tale than just a random placement. In true Darcy McGuire fashion, there is a heady twist at the end!
Delve into the streets of London and make your way through the mystery and imbibe in the magic and social experience that colors regency! A tale best enjoyed with crumpets and tea!
My sincere gratitude to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for furnishing the ARC. I breezed through the tale in a day!
