the league of gentlewomen witches goodreads

I loved reading about Lottie and Alex’s adventures in this wacky world. In fact they like to pretend that the other does not exist. Witches and pirates, although similar in their magic, do not get along. But her world is turned upside down when she runs into the handsome Alex O’Riley, whom readers will remember for The Wisteria Society. She uses Jane’s heroines as lighthouses to direct her own life. Lottie hides in books and is an avid reader of Jane Austen. She’s been raised with a gaggle of witches who have heavily influenced her on the roles of a witch in society (important), what kind of emotions (very little) she should feel and how she should act at all times (perfectly proper, even when stealing or casting spells). We meet Miss Charlotte (Lottie) Pettifer, who has been brought up to be the future leader of witches. The League of Gentlewomen Witches picks up a little after The Wisteria Society ends. How could a second book top it? Well, I am happy to announce that India exceeded my expectations and kept me highly entertained while I read what may already be one of my favourite books of 2022. I loved the bonkers, witty and swoony fantasy romance that India created. The Wisteria Society for Lady Scoundrels was one of my favourite reads of 2021.

If only they could keep their pickpocketing hands to themselves! If Alex’s not careful, he might just steal something else-such as Charlotte’s heart. With all the world scrambling after the amulet, Alex and Charlotte join forces to steal it together. Therefore, it is most unfortunate when she crosses paths with Alex O’Riley, a pirate who is no Mr. When the long lost amulet of Black Beryl is discovered, it is up to Charlotte, as the future leader of the League, to make sure the powerful talisman does not fall into the wrong hands. Using magic, they tidy, correct, and manipulate according to their notions of what is proper, entirely unlike those reprobates in the Wisteria Society. The League of Gentlewomen Witches strives to improve the world in small ways. That is to say-although it must never be said-witchcraft. Miss Charlotte Pettifer belongs to a secret league of women skilled in the subtle arts. And also, she doubted her heroine would be quite as worldly as she herself had become this past week.”Ī second book can be scarred by the sophomore slump, but never fear, India Holton’s The League of Gentlewomen Witches is a rousing success. Nor a hero who was utterly devilish, with an earring and a hefty sword, not to mention a pair of boots that on their own would be censored from any decent novel.

She, Charlotte Pettifer, was participating in a romantic ballroom moment such as Jane Austen herself might have composted-albeit without a dreadful ant in pursuit.

Here was some magic greater than witchery. “She did not want to breathe lest she break the spell.
