A contemporary fantasy with a hint of romance, “Witches of Honeysuckle House” follows estranged sisters, Florence and Evie Caldwell, haunted by a curse that kills someone close to their family every thirteen years. With a sentient house, a magical bookstore, candle magic, and tarot, this is a can’t-miss fall read for fans of witchy fiction with deeply emotional undertones.
Florence and Evie have long disagreed on how to break their family’s curse, and tension has been high since their mother’s death thirteen years ago. Honeysuckle House, the family estate where every Caldwell has lived, now only houses one of the sisters. Evie has crafted it into an enchanted bed and breakfast while Florence runs a magical bookstore in town, refusing to even set foot inside Honeysuckle House.
But when the house starts behaving dangerously and catches fire, Florence and Evie must set aside their differences and dig into past generations of their family and the town’s history before the curse claims someone they love.
