From Goodreads:
With Fire In Their Blood is a simmering supernatural romance set in the crumbling Italian city of Castello, where mafia clans make the rules, dark magic pulses the streets and the sins of the past threaten to consume the present. Perfect for fans of These Violent Delights, The Darkest Minds and V.E. Schwab.When sixteen-year-old Lilly Deluca arrives in Castello, she isn’t impressed. A secluded town in the Italian mountains is not where she saw her last years of high school playing out.
Divided for generations by a brutal clan-family war, the two halves of Castello are kept from destroying each other by the mysterious General, a leader determined to maintain order and ‘purity’. . . whatever the cost.
Lilly falls in with the rebellious Liza, brooding Nico and sensitive Christian, and sparks begin to fly. But in a city where love can lead to ruin, Lilly isn’t sure she can trust anyone – not even herself.
And then she accidentally breaks Castello’s most important rule: when the General’s men come to test your blood, you’d better not be anything more than human . . .
Kayleigh’s Review
Ever since I first heard about With Fire in their Blood I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and dive straight in. This book just sounded so perfect and just like the sort of book that I would love. I was not disappointed. This book was filled with mystery, magic and a dash of romance. I really, really enjoyed this book.
With Fire in their Blood follows the story of Lilly, who is forced to move to a secretive city in Italy where everything seems to be in the past. The city officials test everyone’s blood to see if there are any witches, and if witches are found… they are burnt at the stake! Lilly feels like this is absolute nonsense, because witches aren’t real… or so she thinks.
I personally found the start of With Fire in their Blood a little bit slow. I was intrigued right from the start but until the magic element started I did find it slow to get into. Once we hit the introduction of the magic I was hooked and couldn’t put this down. It’s no surprise to anyone that fantasy and paranormal books are my favourite, so this book was just amazing for me. It was creepy, and I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen. I did end up guessing the vast majority of the twists long before they were announced but I still enjoyed the journey of finding out if I was correct.
I really loved that the characters were very morally gray. Every single one of them. There is no black or white character, they all do questionable things and those sorts of characters are my favourites. This is a bit of a love square… and I definitely have a favourite. I can’t wait to read more in this series to see these relationships develop further, and see what happens.
If you’re looking for an intriguing, magical adventure then look no further. You need to pick up this amazing book. I am officially a Kat Delacorte fan and I cannot wait for more witchy goings on in the next book. If you love paranormal books set in beautiful places with fantastic character and plot development, then you do not want to miss out on this one. Go buy it now!
