+I found this through Libby a few months back and naturally thought the title was interesting.  I've read almost the first section and am intrigued.  There's a part of me that's afraid I am reading a ladies romance-novel without the romance (at least so far).  It's told from a female protagonists perspective.  The main character was part of a magic duo with her husband, whom she accidentally killed in a botched magic act.  They have three daughters.  The husband's death was suspicious and a back-story involving real magic is just starting up.  It's interesting enough to keep reading.  So far, it seems like a good book for this time of year.

+Glad to have finished this book. It had a lot to do with mythology and magic and a dark family secret, but I agree with a lot of th GoodReads reviews that this book had a pacing problem and the main character became incredibly dense near the end.  It wasn't as "fluffy" as I was afraid it would be, but it also wasn't what I expected fro the title.
