Wicked Like a Wildfire b y Lana Popović sounds really intriguing. I love the idea of being able to manipulate beauty, and I can tell that the curse is going to add a lot of drama. Another aspect of this book that I adore is the sisters. Bonds between sisters is one of my favourite things to see in a book, so I can already tell that I am going to enjoy this one.
Wicked Like A Wildfire by Lana Popović
Title: Wicked Like a WildfireAuthor: Lana Popović
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Publication Date: August 15, 2017
All the women in Iris and Malina’s family have the unique magical ability or “gleam” to manipulate beauty. Iris sees flowers as fractals and turns her kaleidoscope visions into glasswork, while Malina interprets moods as music. But their mother has strict rules to keep their gifts a secret, even in their secluded sea-side town. Iris and Malina are not allowed to share their magic with anyone, and above all, they are forbidden from falling in love.
But when their mother is mysteriously attacked, the sisters will have to unearth the truth behind the quiet lives their mother has built for them. They will discover a wicked curse that haunts their family line—but will they find that the very magic that bonds them together is destined to tear them apart forever?
Book Quotes: Wicked Like a Wildfire
Maybe she was stoic and flawless as ever, Snow White giving birth under glass.
As if I had grown into a cactus instead of something softer, and she didn’t want to risk my spines.
