! On her twenty-first birthday Katie Harper has only one wish: to become a real Harper woman. Mystical powers are passed down her family generation after generation - some even call them witches - yet every spell Katie attempts goes disastrously wrong. When her magic does appear, it's in a form nobody expected and suddenly Katie is thrown into a dangerous new world with shadowy consequences. For the realm of the deceased is not as peaceful as she once thought. The dead are buried with their secrets and only Katie can help the ghosts of the past finally find peace. Praise for Sarah Painter 'The magic, the romance, the right amount of humour and drama, made this a perfectly well-rounded novel. I greatly look forward to Sarah's next novel.' - Laura's Little Book Blog 'I would recommend this book as it is a real mix: it's a love story and a thriller with a dash of magic thrown in for good measure.' - Laura's Book Review 'I really loved this book - and it is not often I say this, really. An amazing début, I was sucked in so much I could hardly put it down and finished it in about a day I think. I also couldn't stop talking about it! That is it's charm and the skill of the writer, you can't quite put your finger on what it is... I hope to read more in the future by this author.' - Beloved Eleanor 'utterly enchanting' - The Madwoman in the Attic ' , light hearted romance and a bit of paranormal who dunnit.' - Jeannie Zelos 'I thoroughly enjoyed . It was just as magical and just as enjoyable as and I am soooooo glad Sarah Painter decided to go back to Pendleford. ... I really do love magical fiction and and all that comes with it.' - Chick Lit Reviews
