Cordelia has lived a very sheltered life. Her mother can control her body through magic, and her only friend is her mother’s horse, Falada. When they flee to a small town in the middle of the night and her mother hatches a plan to marry a man, Cordelia starts suspecting that her mother may be more wicked than she thought.

A Sorceress Comes to Call is a dark retelling of Goose Girl, and effortlessly blends historical fantasy and horror. I loved this book. It is incredibly well written with excellent world building. I found the characters to be well developed and compelling. I was immediately immersed in this story and didn’t want it to end!

I listened to the audio which was absolutely fantastic. The narrators did an amazing job with the story and added to the eerie vibes. 

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the ALC.
