Remedial Magic by Melissa Marr REVIEW

Summary:


Ellie loves working in her local library, baking scones, and investigating the mysterious in her spare time. And there is nothing more mysterious and captivating than the intriguingly beautiful, too properly dressed woman suddenly sipping tea in her library. The pull between them in undeniable, and Ellie is not sure that she wants to resist.

Prospero, a powerful witch from the magical land of Crenshaw, is often accused of being . . . ruthless in her goals and ambitions. But she is driven to save her dying homeland, and a prophecy tells her that Ellie is the key. Unbeknownst to Ellie, her powers have not yet awakened. But all of that is about to change.


My Thoughts:


I couldn't put this book down. 

Ellie is a quiet, introverted librarian until a gorgeous woman shows up in her library and captivates her. They share a kiss, and then the woman disappears. Later, while driving, Ellie swerves to avoid a collision but wakes up in Crenshaw, a land for witches, where she is told that she must attend a school for witches. Ellie wants to go home to her aunt, but Prospero being there makes her unsure whether to go or stay.

There are also other characters, like Maggie and Dan, who were also brought to Crenshaw around the same time. Although they aren't main characters, they are very well developed and likable. 

While I'm not usually a fan of romance, this book is definitely an exception. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy with a bit of romance.


My Rating: 5 stars
