And he’s in love with Helen, a magazine exec in present-day DC who has the power to “suggest” others do her bidding. He’s in love with Sandra, a struggling musician in 1970s Los Angeles. He’s in love with Nora, a silver screen starlet in 1930s Hollywood. Luke Varner, the worldly demon tasked with maintaining this badly crafted curse, has been helplessly in love with his charge, in all her reincarnations, since 19th century France. When her mother - a witch - botches a curse on Marchant, she unwittingly binds Juliet to the artist through time, damning her to re-live her affair and die tragically young lifetime after lifetime as the star-crossed lovers reincarnate through history. In 1895, sixteen-year-old Juliet LaCompte has a passionate, doomed romance with the married Parisian painter Auguste Marchant. Ten Thousand Doors of Janurary is a good match, about a young girl who is in search of her parents and discovers a magical system of doors.Īlso agree with suggestions for The Immortalists and Starless Sea though I found both of them not as compelling as the others.īy: Constance Sayers | 448 pages | Published: 2020 | Popular Shelves: fantasy, historical-fiction, romance, fiction, witches | Search "A witch in Time"Ī young woman in Belle Epoque France is cursed to relive a doomed love affair through many lifetimes, as both troubled muse and frustrated artist. It's not hugely deep in lore, but great character book. A political Sci-Fi mystery story with excellent characters and interesting concepts about how memories can exist after death. Very twee and sweet, reads a lot like his classic Coraline.Ī Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine won the Juno award this year and it's well deserved. The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman is his newest. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is a unique little mystery book where the setting is just as much a character as the MC. Was well loved on Best Of lists last year. Basically plays out like a biblical allegory but set in modern era. Very interesting and romantic.Ī Children's Bible by Lydia Millet is funny and clever. This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar is written like a series of love letters. She's also the author of a great sci-fi series called "Wayfarers" that is a fun and uplifting read. To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers is a beautiful sci-fi story. It's also the start of a series so if you like it you can keep diving in. Nothing as well written as Addie, but feels a little like a Harry Potter vibe but for adults. Witchmark is the start of a very sweet series that is magical realism and a very cozy read. Very much a feminist book that features three sisters who have a connection to mysterious power. Took me about 100 pages to really get the flow but once I got in I really enjoyed it. It's more of an adventure book than Addie, but it absolutely gave me goosebumps. It's one of the best books I've read in the last 12 months for sure. The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart features a cool setting inspired by Polynesian Islands/Asian mythology, interesting plot twists and cliffhanger chapter endings, and some very kick ass women.
