10.5.2021 - The Book of Magic

 The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for gifting me a digital ARC of the final book in the Practical Magic series by the wonderful Alice Hoffman - 5 magical stars!

The Owens family has been under a 300-year curse - do not fall in love.  Those who have have suffered the consequences but everything is about to change.  When the youngest of the Owens family has her loved one at death's door, the entire family rallies to find a cure for the curse.  This generation has had the Owens' family magic kept from them but all is going to be revealed as they race together to end the madness of not being able to fall in love.  Sacrifices will be made but "everything worthwhile is dangerous."

How can you not love a book with this for its first sentence:  Some stories begin at the beginning and others begin at the end, but all the best stories begin in a library.  Sigh.  It was so wonderful to slip back into the Owens world with this book, as much as I hated to see this series come to an end.  I would definitely recommend reading the entire series but there's enough info here to read it as a stand alone if you must - and you must read it because Alice Hoffman - enough said.  The ending was perfect - a wonderful wrap up to this series.
