The Evelyn Wight Archives #2
The Feral Witch
Evelyn Wight has spent her entire career avoiding covens, curses, and complications. She's currently zero for three.
Freshly betrayed and with a necromagic curse working its way up her arm, Evelyn finds herself exactly where she doesn't want to be—inside a coven. The Lybbestre are ancient, powerful, and the Sage who leads them makes no effort to hide the fact that she'd rather Evelyn didn't exist. But the curse is spreading, and the only people who might know how to stop it are the ones holding her captive.
Navigating coven politics is hard enough without a mysterious Englishman slipping uninvited into her dreams, a hidden library filled with magical secrets, and the growing suspicion that everything she thought she knew about her own rare gift is only the beginning of a much larger and considerably more dangerous story. Meanwhile, Valen—the last man on earth she'd ever want to see again—keeps showing up with food and cats and that infuriating ability to be trustworthy at exactly the wrong moments.
The Lybbestre have been keeping secrets for centuries. Evelyn has three weeks to live. Someone is going to have to blink first, and it sure as hell won't be her.
Sharp, unsettling, and impossible to put down. The Feral Witch is perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews and T. Kingfisher. Continue the series today.

I was an ARC reader for the first book in this series but I don't think the author did that with this book. At least I didn't see it. So I had to go find it on Amazon because I had to know what happens next and I was not disappointed. I'm so excited for Book 3 now!
