***5 Stars***
Having read and enjoyed the Blood Magic series, I was all in to dive into this spin off, and I wasn’t disappointed. This was a fun, quick read filled with great characters, both new and old, and a new threat to Tribane.
As far as Darya and Peter go, I pretty much adored them. They both have their own issues, especially when you consider who their parents are and all that they went through, but they are really good people with good hearts and seem to know who they are and what they want in life. Watching as they go from just classmates to friends to more was a lot of fun, and quite unique with the whole telepathy thing coming into play. But outside of that, they had a great flow, even when things got awkward and balanced each other out in ways I don’t think they even realized.
This book does take place quite a few years after the end of the Blood Magic series and I liked seeing the changes Tribane and its citizens have gone through. Do you NEED to read the Blood Magic series to enjoy this book? No, not really. I think you’ll be just fine, but if you want all the details on the various relationships and what went down in the war, then do it and you won’t be sorry.
Now, you all know I LOVE well written secondary characters and this baby is chock full of them. From the crew from the Blood Magic series to Darya and Peter’s friends, I was in hog heaven. I loved seeing Ethan and Teagan as parents and getting to see who Rebecca has become. But of the newbies, Ren may just be my fav but I loved Grace and am looking forward to seeing what Grace, Sophie, Belinda and Nic bring to the table in the next book!

Darya Cristescu is a bad witch.
Attending St. Bastian’s Institute for Magic and the Supernatural is no fun when you’re terrible at spells. She’d much prefer to leave the magic to her classmates, but sadly, Darya has her final year to complete. She’s hoping to keep her head down and graduate, however life has other plans.
One of her teachers has been shockingly murdered and everyone thinks she did it. Well, not everyone. Peter Girard, the warlock she’s spent years secretly pining for, knows she’s innocent. Unfortunately, there’s enough bad blood between their families to rival the Montagues and the Capulets, which makes being allies complicated.
In an effort to find the true killer, Darya asks Peter to help her cast a spell. But her ineptitude with magic leaves them with an unintended consequence. Darya’s and Peter’s minds have become magically fused, allowing them to communicate telepathically.
All this would be stressful enough if it weren’t for the fact that a demon has marked Darya and she has no idea why. As she and Peter try to discover who the demon is, their unexpected alliance brings about feelings neither of them could’ve anticipated.
*Foretold is a spin-off of The Blood Magic Series, however it is not necessary to have read the previous series to enjoy this book.*
