So I accidentally picked up the audiobook and it wasn’t until half way through that I thought to myself: this is a much bigger world than this book can fit and I realised it was the fourth in the series

You don’t need to read the previous although this was so fun to read, I’m going to go back and read the rest.

Trouble is brewing Lychford yet again. Judith's dementia is getting worse, and Autumn is still hiding from her last mistake that almost wiped their small village off the map. A woman going by the name of Maitland has started making a lot of promises that she couldn't possibly keep.

The fourth installment of this series was just as compelling as the first three. It was difficult to put down because of the supernatural nature and because of Judith deteriorating mind. I found myself worrying about her as if she were my own grandmother.

I liked the twisted wishes, but ouch. This book removed several things I loved about the first, so idk.

This might be my favorite so far in the series, although they have all been excellent. On to the final one!

An enjoyable return to Lychford, as the consequences of previous events continue to roll through and the coven tries to deal with the deterioration of its senior member and a threat from outside.

Gamers: Worth considering if you like Liminal or Rivers of London, but read the earlier books first.
