I wanted to know more about all of them, and the Aufwader aspect of the story didn't tie together the way the other two did. Since the curse of the Aufwaders wasn't fully broken in the previous book, she must appease Esau, one of the elders of the tribe, through marriage.įor me, the three strands of the book never really came together. However, when she arrives, there is something very odd going on at her friend's house.īen's friend, Nelda the Aufwader, has her own problems. The children have been left in charge of the dithery and rather ineffectual Miss Werther, Whitby's post mistress. In the meantime, Miss Boston has been called away to visit an old friend who is very ill in London. He is in fact the husband of Rowena Cooper, the villain of the previous book, and has come not only to be revenged on the people who defeated her, but also to unleash a terrible power that has been dormant for centuries. He is quite scruffy looking, but has magnetic brown eyes and a lot of charm, and manages to bend the residents of Whitby, including Jennet, to his will. Following the events of the previous book, a mysterious visitor, Nathaniel Crozier, arrives in Whitby. I really enjoyed the first book in the trilogy, The Whitby Witches, and while there were bits of this book I liked, I didn't enjoy everything about it.īen and Jennet are still living with Miss Boston, their elderly foster-mother in Whitby. I read this in Whitby, where I have been for a few days.
