Welcome to Litsy!

Part two of the Witches of Lychford novellas. Another solid outing honestly. If you like contemporary witches that aren't all evil as all heck, then this may be the series for you/me. I really enjoyed it.

Christmas brings new drama as the Witches find themselves outmanoeuvered by a new supernatural foe. Probably my favourite Lychford novella for being uncomfortably dark and creepy at the same time as being slyly funny, compassionate and unapologetically hopeful.

I found the first one in the Lychford series only okay, and the second one isn't a pick, either. It's interesting enough, but the special something is missing. I prefer Cornell's Shadow Police books. Still, they're short, so maybe I will give the third one another chance.

After keeping evil out of Lychford, the trio of witches (Reverend Lizzie, local shopkeeper Autumn, and the elder town crank Judith) are settling in for the Christmas holiday, when a ghostly child appears to Lizzie. Spirits of the dead are one thing but the problem is that this ghost belongs to a child who is very much alive. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first but I did like that we got to see more of each of the witchy trio.

I don‘t know if it‘s just because I‘ve been sick/taking cold meds or if my impression is objectively true...but the writing in this second installment seemed kind-of clunky & unclear. Also, it was a bit repetitive. Aaaand I read it at the wrong time (seasonally, this is a Christmas book). Suffice it to say, I wasn‘t quite feeling this one. I‘ll still read the third book but I‘ll do so with a little less enthusiasm & a little more discretion.

Really wish I remembered more of the first book ...

I found this book more than slightly creepy... but in a good way!

Finished my second book of #24in48 . I ended up picking up a novella to break up the longer books I'm reading. I enjoyed this second installment in a series about witches in a small English town on the border between worlds. @24in48 . Hoping to get some more reading done before I go see The Shape of Water tonight.

May not be as strong as the first story but it's still a nice slightly spooky read. Character development continues and we learn a little bit more about the three women who are apparently tapped with saving the world. I hope they can keep it together so the big bads can't get to us.

I've read two of my #novembertbr books and I have one I really need to try to finish because it's due back at the library. It just isn't drawing me in like I thought it would so I'm reading this instead.

This book was okay, on the border of pick and so-so. I really liked the first book in the series, so I feel a little let down by this one. Though its not a bad book, just okay. #netgalley
