Mattie Carver never thought she’d give up her small-town life to become one half of the best magic-smuggling duo in the business. Until recently, she didn’t even know such a business existed. But as an unusually strong reliquary—able to carry vast quantities of magic in her body, undetected—she’s been pulled into an underworld of organized crime and addictive enchantments. And although she’s determined to keep things professional, her partner, Asa Ward, is a temptation she finds increasingly hard to resist.

Even as their relationship reaches a tipping point, Mattie is wary; Asa already told her he hates cages—literal or otherwise. But when an international black-market magic exchange goes awry, Asa falls into the hands of his enemies. Now, with the man who refuses to be controlled under the command of a ruthless captor, Mattie must decide how far she’s willing to go to rescue him—assuming there’s anything left to save.

Mosaic is the third book in the Reliquary series by Sarah Fine.  If you haven’t read books one and two yet, don’t dive into this review yet.  Go get the series and read all of it.  Then come back so we can discuss all the feelings.

If you recall, Mattie had made the decision to keep their relationship professional but Asa hasn’t made it super easy for her.  She continues to be attracted to him and when she eventually decides to do something about it, things go wrong…which seems to be something that happen often with them.  As Mattie and Asa are separated, a number of things happen that made me not able to put this book down.

When Mattie and Asa are separated, Mattie finds herself face to face with Asa’s mother and she learns a lot about not only Asa’s mother and his relationship with her, but also about herself.  Mattie really has to think about what she is willing to go through in order to get Asa back and it really isn’t pretty.  Thankfully for Mattie she also has some friends to help her out.

While I really like these characters together, it was great to see Mattie trying to survive out on her own and I thought she grew a lot throughout this book.  She didn’t have Asa to rely on and get her out of things…in most cases he was the one causing her problems.  Mattie had to be smart and she had to be tough and I thought she really came through in this book.

I don’t want to say too much about this book since it is a book three but I do have to say…I can’t believe that this is the end.  I am somewhat in denial and I am hoping Fine takes pity on me and writes the next book…YES I SAID IT!  The ending on this one killed me and I can’t even tell you about it.  Please know that despite the killer ending, I loved everything about this series.

If you haven’t read anything by Sarah Fine yet you need to fix that.  She does a fabulous job of creating a story that will pull you in and keep you invested.  Her characters are always well developed and she always does a wonderful job of developing the world they inhabit.  If you are looking for a great paranormal read, check this series out.  It was magic, danger, swoony bits, and a story that will have you turning the pages for more.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the review copy!

About Sarah Fine

I’m the author of several books for teens, including Of Metal and Wishes (McElderry/Simon & Schuster) and its sequel, Of Dreams and Rust (coming in August 2015), and the Guards of the Shadowlands YA urban fantasy series (Skyscape/Amazon Children’s Publishing). I’m also the co-author (with Walter Jury) of two YA sci-fi thrillers published by Putnam/Penguin: Scan and its sequel Burn (which will be published in 2015). My first adult urban fantasy romance novel, Marked, will be published in January 2015 by 47North/Amazon Publishing, with the sequel, Claimed, coming in March 2015. When I’m not writing, I’m psychologizing. Sometimes I do both at the same time. The results are unpredictable.
