The Graces
by Laure Eve
I received a copy of The Graces as an eARC from Netgalley and the publisher, Amulet Books, which is an imprint of Abrams.
When a glamorous family of teenage witches brings a mysterious new girl into their fold, they unwittingly nurture a powerful black magic that could destroy them all. This paranormal YA fantasy features intrigue, spells, and a devastating twist. In The Graces, the first rule of witchcraft states that if you want something badly enough, you can get it . . . no matter who has to pay.
Everyone loves the Graces. Fenrin, Thalia, and Summer Grace are captivating, wealthy, and glamorous. They’ve managed to cast a spell over not just their high school but also their entire town—and they’re rumored to have powerful connections all over the world. If you’re not in love with one of them, you want to be them. Especially River: the loner, new girl at school. She’s different from her peers, who both revere and fear the Grace family. She wants to be a Grace more than anything. But what the Graces don’t know is that River’s presence in town is no accident.
The Graces is the first novel I’ve ever read by Laura Eve, but it certainly won’t be the last. This novel felt like Twilight, but with more humanity, and without vampires. I’d like to point out that my comparison to Twilight is not an insult. It just has a similar vibe, while still being its own story.
River is an incredibly dedicated woman when she wants to be, and she dedicates herself to making friends with the Grace family once she finds out about who they are. It’s honestly impressive, and a little terrifying to read as she does everything she can to become who they need her to be.
