You know what I hate about reading ARCs? The fact I have just read an amazing book and now have to wait for others to read it and enjoy it as much as I did. 

Bloodlender by Zoé Perrenoud is the first book in a YA trilogy by the same name. Set in modern day France, the story is told by 17 year old Sophie who stumbles into a mystery that has life or death consequences for herself, her family, and others. Bloodlender blends magic, science, and folklore together in a way that sucks the reader in and makes you believe it is all real. 

I strongly recommend this book, especially to those who enjoy a good mystery, curses, a dash of fantasy, and a strongly written female lead.
