In Sing Me Forgotten, it was music, and in this one it’s art. The first thing that stood out to me was the art-based magic system, and I love how Olson takes these other art forms and weaves them into her writing and magic systems. I don’t know that I enjoyed it as much as her debut, but this one was a lot of fun too. I enjoyed Jessica Olson’s prior book, and A Forgery of Roses sounded equally interesting. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley. Desperate to get out of the manor as quickly as possible, Myra turns to the governor’s older son for help completing the painting before the secret she spent her life concealing makes her the killer’s next victim. A killer stalks these halls–one disturbingly obsessed with portrait magic. Once she arrives at the legendary stone mansion, however, it becomes clear the boy’s death was no accident. But one frigid night, the governor’s wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would resurrect the governor’s dead son. Guarding that secret is the only way to keep her younger sister safe now that their parents are gone. Myra has a gift many would kidnap, blackmail, and worse to control: she’s a portrait artist whose paintings alter people’s bodies.
