The League of Gentlewomen Witches by India Holton, 336 pages
This sequel to The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels focuses on the Wisteria Society's sworn enemies, the Wicken League, a similarly neat and tidy group of society women wreaking havoc on England, the main difference being that the Wicken League is full of witches (though they won't admit it as witchcraft is still illegal and punishable by death). This book isn't quite as delightfully wacky as its predecessor, perhaps because we're already familiar with the previously surprising flying manor homes and tea-drinking pirates. That said, this one definitely ramps up the romance between book-loving future Wicken League leader Charlotte and scandalous Irish pirate Alex. It's a light, fun read.
