Blood Magic (Ariel Kimber #3) by Mary Martel

Blood Magic is book 3 in the Ariel Kimber Series.

Ariel Kimber isn’t your average seventeen-year-old girl. She’s recently discovered she’s a witch with magic and is looking to find her place in a brand-new world. Her place in this new world is in a coven with seven guys.

After all of the horrible things she’s been forced to endure, Ariel was looking forward to building her new life with the family she’s found herself a part of and focusing on healing with Dash after what Chucky did to the both of them. After the blood that had been spilled, they all struggle to put those memories and the incident behind them. It’s easier said than done, though.

Quinton is plagued with guilt and the rest of them struggle with the fact that they almost lost one of their brothers and Ariel is left with a permanent reminder of the incident.

New bonds are forged, and just as things are starting to settle down again for Ariel and her coven, the Council of Elders makes its first appearance in Ariel’s life. And they don’t plan on going anywhere any time soon.

** This is a reverse harem series. **

This series is pretty much about a girl who finds out that she is a witch. Ariel up until recently had to deal with an abusive mother and a lonely life. She never thought that she was anything special, but now that she learns that she is indeed special; she's not sure that she likes it. On top of having to deal with the death of her 'mother', Dash being stabbed, and the seemingly endless guilt of Quinton Ariel also has to deal with the Council of Elders. All Ariel really wants is to find her father and she will do everything within her power to do it.


What I liked about the story: I loved how this installment gave us a more in-depth look at Julian and even introduced us more to Damien.


What I thought could have been better: There was a lot of inner dialogue but none of it helped us to understand Ariel's state of mind. She seemed to have glossed over a lot of issues that normally a person would have dwelt upon. For a 200+ book, it did not give us a lot of information, and I did not like how the installment ended where it did. No warning, no idea on how she even knew what she was doing, she went straight to blood magic.

I would give this an Attraction Rating – A promising story, but nothing life-changing. You would read the sequel as more of a backup story when you run out.Rated: 3/5 Stars
