Blood like magic
(Book)

After failing to come into her powers, sixteen-year-old Voya--a Black witch living in near-future Toronto--is forced to choose between losing her family's magic forever, a heritage steeped in centuries of blood and survival, or murdering her first love, a boy who is supposedly her genetic match.

"After years of waiting for her Calling, the one thing Voya Thomas didn't expect was to fail. When Voya's ancestor gives her an unprecedented second chance to complete her Calling, she agrees-- and then is horrified when her task is to kill her first love. And failure means every Thomas witch will be stripped of their magic. The problem is Voya has never been in love, so to succeed she'll first have to find the perfect guy. Using a genetic matchmaking program has just hit the market, she plans to fall in love and complete her task before the deadline. Voya is paired with Luc-- who seemingly wants nothing to do with her! With mounting pressure from her family, Voya is caught between her morality and her duty to her bloodline. If she wants to save their heritage and Luc, she'll have to find something her ancestor wants more than blood. And in witchcraft, blood is everything." --Adapted from jacket.
