Spells of Blood and Kin

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. Lissa's grandmother Baba has passed away. Now it is up to her to provide their community with the spelled eggs they need. Her grandmother passed a lot down to her, but she's finding out that she also kept things from her. When a man named Maksim tells her that the protection her grandmother spelled him with ended when she died, Lissa has no idea how to help him. But, since he says he is kin, she must find a way. This started out really slow for me, but I kept going and it got better. I think what I enjoyed most was the evolving relationship between Lissa and Stella.
