Cannot recommend these 3 enough. And, legitimately, all 3 are based on real things! -One as the author's experience as an outsider -One about the accusations thrown at real women -One about the real British military research into magic to battle rumoured Nazi occult powers 😅
This spooky season, if you're looking for witches, we've got you covered! Whether you like magical midgrade, tales of real-life witch trials in the north, or historical fantasy with spy witches battling Nazis in WW2, we have something for all tastes!
