There's something unusual about Alice Boston, their new guardian. And what is that horrible howling Jennet hears late at night? Something wicked's brewing in Whitby.

Loved it!

I thoroughly enjoyed The Whitby Witches. I fell in love with Ben, Jennet, and Miss Boston and couldn’t help thinking of a few individuals who remind me of the lavish Mrs. Banbury-Scott. I was constantly surprised by the twisting plot and impressed by how Jarvis wove history, folklore, and witchcraft together. Must. Buy. Plane. Ticket. To. Whitby.
