A magical sisterhood
“They were witches by their blood, the product of generations of power, built and cut down, burned, yet surviving still. They were mastery and dominance, subtlety, and silence.”
What an intro! In the first chapter we meet the Bay sisters, witches from an old and powerful magical family who now reside on Star Island. This book is Laurel's story, but her sisters Rosemary, Sage, Lavender and Verbana are featured throughout. They are a cosy little sisterhood with hearth and home specialties that seem to complement each other. Laurel is able to traverse another realm, the Hedge World, and it's here she finds remnants of a past life where she was Amee, and the love she had with Onfroi. Then begins a series of events that will fulfill the Beltane prophecy about the Bay sisters.
“My soulmate showed up in the Hedge World. Shit's about to hit the fan.”
Indeed it does. As the story unfolds Laurel meets Onfroi, who is now Owen in his present life, and together they face the threat of a family curse, while getting to know each other in a lovely romance. There was tension and action and many intertwining stories from past lives.
The story ended on quite a tense moment and it's clear there is much more story to come both for Laurel and her sisters. I'm eagerly awaiting the next instalment to learn more!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I love witches and this book was no exception. Think Practical Magic with its own set of rules, some steamier scenes and past lives coming to fruition.
I love the dynamic between the sisters and its very cosy fantasy. I will be reading book 2!
