6 Reasons You Should Read Blood Magic

It’s been a looooong time coming, but Blood Magic is officially out today!

If you’ve been eyeing this book and thinking about picking it up, but you’re still on the fence, let me give you 6 good reasons to add this one to your TBR immediately.

Blood Magic - Pagan Alexandria

1) It’s loosely inspired by Barbie Rapunzel

Yeah, you know the one where Barbie has a magic paintbrush and can paint doorways and dresses and shit? THAT Barbie Rapunzel!

I was lowkey obsessed with that movie as a child. It’s arguably one of the best classic Barbie movies ever (with 12 Dancing Princesses coming in as a close second… oh wait, that’s my next duology! Lol)

2) It has vampires

Haven’t you heard? Vampires are BACK, baby, and you don’t want to miss this book while they’re having a resurgence.

If you love dark academia settings, enemies-to-lovers and spicy reads, you will *definitely* enjoy Blood Magic!

3) There are also other supernatural creatures

Why stop at vampires when you can also have witches and… well, no spoilers here, but there might be a few other types of beings hanging out on Monsec campus too.

(Did I mention there’s a crossover character in Blood Magic that leads into my next planned duology, set in the world of the fae?)

4) It has a vampire x vampire hunter pairing

Is there anything more delicious than a good vampire x vampire hunter duo? The tension, the yearning, the enemies-to-lovers banter… you know you want to read this.

5) You will not see the plot twist(s) coming

You know the twists are good when nearly 30 early readers have read the book and not a single one could predict the major twist (and even the twists that they *were* able to predict, had *another* twist interwoven that they didn’t see coming!)

6) It’s a dual retelling of Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty

Dual retellings are kind of my thing. This one combines Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty into a unique, new storyline and re-imagines parts of both fairytales to create an intricate magic system and world.
