Haunting the Deep | 
pickThis book has such an exciting premise! Drawn by her dreams into the past, the MC joins her relatives on the Titanic - but someone may be trying to keep her there! Full of suspense, this one didn't have me reading with quite the urgency as Mather's other stories, but it kept me hooked! I'm officially a fangirl of this author!
pick2nd book for #seriesread21 and #bookspinbingo
Sam's school dance is having a titantic theme and she doesn't think it's a coincidne5 that she's been receiving packages with titantic items. She's also been having strange dreams of being on the titantic w/her relatives from that time period. What's happening here? It must be a spell, right? But who else besides her and her friends know how to cast them? ⭐⭐⭐⭐

pickI love books based around the Titanic, and this one is up there with my favourites. I had big expectations for the second part of the How To Hang A Witch duology and I'm so glad that this book lived up to what I wanted it to. The plot was amazing, and the mystery was so interesting and completely unpredictable. The vibe was haunting and the history was so interesting. I loved the romance and the friendships. An amazing duology I'm glad I read it!
pickAs much as I enjoyed “How to Hang a Witch,” I liked this book even more. Sam continues to find her place in Salem, and things are almost crazier this time around. I love how history of the Titanic is woven into the story, and while the ending tied everything up, I do hope we see future books with these characters.
pick1st book of #24b4Monday finished— devoured, TBH. I LOVED “How to Hang a Witch”, but “Haunting the Deep” made it so I would die for Sam, the Descendants, Elijah, Jaxon, Sam‘s dad, & Mrs. Meriweather. Wish there were more books to this series. Love the history, the plots, the magic realism, & the characters SO much.
One things I love about both this book and “How To Hang A Witch”, is how the the author explores how the social mores of the time/culture effected the historical narrative.
I thought it was impossible for me to love Sexy Ghost Boy more than I already did, but then he got an adorable Ghost Cat.
I asked my husband for chocolate. He returned home with this ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Pictured with my current read for scale.

I loved How to Hang a Witch and was super excited for a sequel but when I found out it dealt with ghosts from the Titanic I was skeptical. It seemed like a stretch. However my fears were unfounded. It was SO GOOD. And the afterword explaining the authors actual family history and how she tied it into the story made it even better. I hope there is more of this series to come!
pickSo much fun! This was the second in this YA series, and almost as great as the first one. Witches and ghosts (even some historically famous ghosts) and all the fun characters! The series could end here, but I for one hope that it doesn‘t. I would definitely read more!
pickSecond in the series and just as fun. This one has a Titanic element as well witches, curses, and a Salem setting. Great read for this time of year. I hope she continues writing this series.

I‘m excited to start this sequel! 🖤
pickFull review to come soon on the blog. This was a 4🌟 pick for me.
I‘ve started reading the sequel to How to Hang a Witch and I‘m loving it so far. I‘ve only gotten to chapter 13 but wow it‘s really good and I can‘t wait to read more!!
-
Edit: I finished the book and it was really good! It had plot twists and love and intense moments where I couldn‘t take my eyes off. I highly recommend this book!
pickSo the beginning was a little rough for me, but I generally have a hard time with MCs who insist on denying the obvious. But, that might just YA for me. And it was worth it to push through because the plot picked up and I thoroughly enjoyed reading as these girls developed their friendships. The bad guy was on my list of suspects, but Mather muddied the waters sufficiently that it was still a fun surprise! Overall, a great read!
pickI really hope she writes more books for this series! I could not put this down!! I need more magical, ghostly adventures staring Sam and the Descendants!
On our way from the Fingerlakes to Salem, MA! So I brought some spooky books with me, it‘s only appropriate 🖤🙌🏼📚 Can‘t wait for the festivities and to just soak it all in!
pickForgot to review this. I didn‘t like it as much as How to Hang a Witch. Mainly because I didn‘t get WHY the bad guy(s) is/was doing what they were. I do love Samantha and Alice and Elijah and Jaxon. I love that little imaginary world in Salem. Looks like the author is beginning a boarding school series which I can get behind. Overall a pick, but not as good as the first. If you like the Titanic you probably will love this.
pickNot as good as the first in my opinion , not enough of Elijiah 🙄
BUT I really did enjoy book 2 and the storyline becoming creative with the Titanic and the history. I really enjoy this author 🤗
4 🌟 #YA #dogsoflitsy
Came home sick from work yesterday with a horrible migraine. I've slept most of it off now so I think I might read for a little bit today 📖
Bad news at the podiatrist. Jelly beans and reading required.
Just got home from teaching a puppy training class in the rain ☔️ time to snuggle up on the couch and get some reading done before heading to the hospital to visit family ✨
We are moving. After packing all books, I have ten boxes of nothing but books. I need a new bookshelf. Also, my new goal for the end of the year is to break 1000 books “read” on Goodreads. I need 57 books. Let‘s see if I can do it!! I am enjoying the tagged book. Here is a picture of Pupper who is crate training nicely!
pick3.75. I enjoyed the Titanic theme. And sincerely, who wouldn‘t love a ghost cat named Broome?
This is my very real cat, XENA...she‘s powerful in her own sort of way 😻
So, I‘m going in for book 2 bc I want some more Elijah. I need a ghost friend, sincerely. He was my favorite part of To Hang a Witch. I‘m enjoying this, thus far.🚢
pickI liked this one better than the first. I cant wait for another.
Listening to my book while enjoying this evening weather.
Quiet morning, time to finish this one up!!
Having a second cup.
I‘m not a huge YA genre reader, but I really like How To Hang A Witch and I figured I‘d read the sequel while I continue to rest and recover from my second kidney stone of 2018. Thank you so much for all the well wishes on @Lynnsoprano ‘s posts. I read them all while I was in the hospital and it brought happy tears to my eyes. Love you all!!
so-soI mean the story/writing wasn‘t bad, but the motivation of the “villian” was like......wut?

pickI just love these characters and so therefore love any storyline Mather puts them in to. I seriously can‘t wait for more to come with The Descendants.
pickJust as good as the first one. Predictable, but a great read with lots of magic and history. A good, easy, fun YA read.
