By Annaliese Avery, paperback £9.99, teen fiction (reviewed by Emily)

This book is the perfect mix of swoon-worthy balls, heart pounding mysteries and forbidden romance. Having cursed magic means Aurelia Wycherley has no hope of finding her perfect match to tether to by the end of this season. Matters are only made worse when witches start dying, all seemingly connected to the death of her father years before. When an unlikely alliance is forged (through bribery and extortion of course) between herself and Jules Nightly, her family’s sworn enemy, the pair find themselves in a race to not only save Aurelias magic, but to protect all the magic in the kingdom. A regency style romance with a twist of magical mystery, this is best read over Halloween to make the most of this witchy story. Either way, this book should absolutely be on your reading list!
