The Lost Witch
Evelyn Wight has survived cursed books, an ancient coven, an undead plague, and being erased from the ledger of existence. She's starting to think the universe has a personal grudge.
Newly removed from the cycle of life and death and still not entirely sure what that means, Evelyn is ordered out of New Orleans for her own safety—and for once, she doesn't argue. She has unfinished business in Tennessee. Old houses, older secrets, and a family history she was never meant to know are waiting for her on the other side of the bridge.
But the past has teeth. What she finds in her grandmother's crumbling house isn't just memory—it's a bloodline box, a letter from a mother she never knew, and evidence that the women who raised her were protecting something far older and stranger than she ever suspected. And then there are the woods. The Appalachian woods, specifically, where something has been waiting in the dark for a very long time, and the voices don't stop just because you refuse to answer them.
Evelyn has spent years learning who she is in New Orleans. Now she has to reckon with who she was before it and discover whether those two women can survive each other.
Darkly funny, achingly personal, and impossible to put down, The Lost Witch is perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher and Charlaine Harris. The series continues.
