Salt Magic, Skin Magic by Lee Welch 5*
BLURB: Lord Thornby has been trapped on his father’s isolated Yorkshire estate for a year. There are no bars or chains; he simply can’t leave. His sanity is starting to fray. When industrial magician John Blake arrives to investigate a case of witchcraft, he finds the peculiar, arrogant Thornby as alarming as he is attractive. John soon finds himself caught up in a dark fairytale, where all the rules of magic—and love—are changed.
To set Thornby free, both men must face life-changing truths—and John must accept that the brave, witty man who’s winning his heart may also be about to break it. Can they escape a web of magic that’s as perilous as love?
My Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I was blown away by this book. It was a lovely blend of historical romance, exciting magic, a dash of mythology, and a true feeling of mysteriousness. I loved both the main characters (and even the secondary ones were well written). I think the world building was perfect. It blended what I loved best about regency romances and added the twist of magic being so common place it's unremarkable.
I haven't read anything by this author before but if there were to be another story in this world I will be first in line to buy it.
