The Glamourist (The Vine Witch Series #2)
by Luanne G. Smith
Publisher: 47North
Release Date: June 9th 2020
Genre: Fantasy, Fiction

It wasn’t a coincidence. Couldn’t be.
Luanne G. Smith

A spellbinding novel of bloodlines, self-discovery, and redemption by the author of the Washington Post bestseller The Vine Witch.

. . . she fell asleep to the vibrating thrum of hope for perhaps the first time in her life.
Luanne G. Smith

Abandoned as a child in turn-of-the-century Paris, Yvette Lenoir has longed to uncover the secrets of her magical heritage and tap her suppressed powers. But what brave and resourceful Yvette has done to survive the streets has made her a fugitive. With a price on her head, she clings to a memento from her past—what she believes to be a grimoire inherited from the mother she never knew. To unlock the secrets of her past, Yvette trusts in one woman to help solve the arcane riddles among its charmed pages.

Elena Boureanu is the vine witch of Château Renard, noted for its renowned wines. Even as she struggles with her own bloodline—and its poisonous threat to her future—Elena can’t ignore a friend on the run. Joined by a cunning thief, the proprietor of an enchanted-curio shop, and a bewitching black cat, Elena and Yvette are determined to decode Yvette’s mysterious keepsake. But what restless magic will be unleashed? And what are Yvette and Elena willing to risk to become the witches they were destined to be?

The walls caught fire, and no one mistook the flames as part of any féerie play.
Luanne G. Smith

Review

Have I mentioned before how much I love stories set in Paris? It’s honestly my favorite city and I want to go back to it daily. It’s just such a gorgeous place and it really does romance you. But anyways, this book gives me everything I love in a setting and then adds in some witches, fée, special kitties, and then some. I mean, obviously this book was just written for me since it seems to contain everything I love!

We have come to the final entrails of your stolen wish, girl.
Luanne G. Smith

There is magic riddled throughout the story and it’s been a while since I’ve read a book where I felt that magic. If that makes any sense whatsoever. Add this magic to the suspense of the book as well as the wonderful cast of characters and it’s truly just a wonderful book. And did I mention that there’s a black cat? Because I’m a sucker for a mysterious black cat.

Oh là là, is it a crime to want something now?
Luanne G. Smith

You know, I think I’ve fallen so in love with the book (and series) because I’ve found witches to be lacking in books lately. There just don’t seem to be many witch books around lately and I really miss that. I mean witches are the best, especially when the magic is so unique and interesting like in The Glamourist.
