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 from the title.
