Review: The Midnight Witch by Paula Brackston

In Edwardian London, change is on the horizon. War is eminent and the days of the strict Victorian caste system and societal expectations are on their way out….the modern era is upon the world.

For Lilith Montgomery, this new world is not yet a reality. She is the daughter of a duke and engaged to marry Viscount Louis Harcourt, her long time childhood friend and social equal.

Her father has just passed away which means society demands she be in full mourning for a year.

Lilith struggles to adjust to her new life without her father but there is one thing that makes this new life particularly difficult for her…..she is to be the new Head Witch of the London based Lazarus Coven, a coven of necromancers.

Review: The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston

Morgana has no interest in marriage, especially to a man she hardly knows. She is different than most women….she’s as wild as the Welsh moors and would rather spend her days with her horses than in the company of society.
