when i found out this series are underrated… my heart broke 😭

“Blood magic is rooted in emotion: the faster your heart beats, the faster your blood pumps...but therein also lies the trouble. It’s easy to lose your grip, let the magic overtake you.” - Bloodleaf . . 🌟QOTD: What books have some of your favorite magic systems? . . Happy Thursday friends!! Let’s talk magic today because who doesn’t want magic in their life?!? I absolutely love reading about blood magic and one of my favorites is Bloodleaf!! Aurelia has spent her life in fear of being discovered as a witch by the Tribunal aka witch hunters because even being the Princess would not stop them from burning her at the stake. But that doesn’t stop this fierce woman from learning all she can about her blood magic! And wow is it an adventure of a learning experience! Aurelia has a talent for finding trouble and she gets into lots of it in Bloodleaf! I don’t want to give too much away but it is an amazing journey filled with handsome men, evil witch hunters, ghosts and a bit of a mystery!! And if you liked Bloodleaf WOW you are going to love book 2, Greythorne!!! I finished a couple days ago and you do NOT want to miss this one! It was incredible and delves deeper into Aurelia’s magic and a different magic as well!! And if you preorder Greythorne you can get some beautiful character cards and necklace!! Swipe on the picture to see how beautiful the items are!! Details can be found on @crysrensmith page for how to submit your receipts!! I hope everyone has a magical day!! . .

“The strongest magic requires the greatest sacrifice.” - Bloodleaf . . 🌟QOTD: Would you ever try blood magic?? ❤️ . . Happy Sunday friends!! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!! I know I definitely did but thankfully I have one more fun night planned tonight!! Have you all read Bloodleaf yet?? I absolutely love this book!! The main character dabbles in blood magic and it sounds so intriguing but also very dangerous. I think I may give it a try (I mean who wouldn’t want magic in their lives?!?). But I also think it would cause some serious problems!! Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bloodleaf #bookandcrown #crystalsmith #flatlaystyle #booknerd #instareads #bookaesthetic #ventureswithbooks #booklife #booksofinstagram #bookworm #yafiction #yabooks #bookishfeatures #bookstagramer #bookstagramit #flowerlove https://www.instagram.com/p/B2cpYLAghi2/?igshid=s2sknp46o3r4

Book hauls are the best .... too bad I’m not a millionaire.
