The Evelyn Wight Archives #2
The Feral Witch
A thief with a rare magical gift.
A coven shrouded in secrets.
A curse that will kill her—unless she uncovers the truth first.
Evelyn Wight makes a living stealing magical books for dangerous people. But when her last job ended in betrayal, she found herself at the mercy of the Lybbestre Coven—an ancient and powerful order hidden in the shadows of modern New Orleans.
Now cursed by a magical disease she doesn't understand and facing a slow, painful death, Evelyn is forced to accept initiation into the coven. But surviving isn’t easy. Rituals are binding, secrets are deadly, and not everyone wants her there. Least of all the Sage, a woman whose power is matched only by her mistrust.
As Evelyn searches for a cure, she uncovers a deeper mystery—one that connects her own magical abilities, a lost text, and the fading strength of the coven itself. And when a seductive stranger with hidden motives offers to help, Evelyn must decide who to trust before time runs out.
Perfect for fans of dark magic, hidden libraries, and slow-burn fantasy romance, The Feral Witch is an immersive urban fantasy full of secrets, spells, and sharp-tongued witches who won’t go quietly.

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!
