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. Sparkling with witty allusions to Shakespeare and Austen, whimsical adventure, and tenderhearted romance, The League of Gentlewomen Witches is a book lover’s dream come true. 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. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the teahouse. “As much fun as the English language will permit.”- New York Times Book Review on The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels ![]()
