I didn't love Magic in the Blood as much as I loved Magic in the Bone. Allie lost her memory at the end of the first book and therefore all the ground Allie gained with... everything, she lost at the start of book two so it felt a little like we we're starting all over again because Allie didn't know anything but we did and I just didn't like it.
Magic in in the Blood is an interesting second story but if it wasn't for how much I loved the first book I wouldn't be reading the next book Magic in the Shadows.
