Rezensionen / Stimmen
As much fun as the English language will permit. * New York Times Book Review * There's no literary experience quite like reading an India Holton book. The League of Gentlewoman Witches is a wild, rollicking, delicious carnival ride of a story, filled with rakish pirates, chaotic witches, flying houses (and bicycles, and pumpkins), delightful banter, and some serious steam. You've never read Victorian romance like this before... and it'll ruin you for everything else. * Lana Harper, New York Times bestselling author of Payback's a Witch * "Clever word play, delightful double entendres, and adventurous high jinks will delight fans of smart, witchy romances, including the first in Holton's Dangerous Damsels series, The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels" * Booklist * The whimsical worldbuilding forms a perfect backdrop to the angsty couple, and Holton's winking narration, which puts her in cahoots with the reader, makes her exaggerated characters work. Overflowing with heart, humor, and hyperbole, this clever romance enchants. * Publishers Weekly * Melds the Victorian wit of Sherlock Holmes with the brash adventuring of Indiana Jones . . . A sprightly feminist tale that offers everything from an atmospheric Gothic abbey to secret societies * Entertainment Weekly * A joyride of a debut . . . As if The Parasol Protectorate series met The Princess Bride and a corseted Lara Croft: Tomb Raider -- Kirkus Reviews With secret identities, secret doors, and secret histories to spare, this high-octane layer-cake of escapism hits the spot. * Publishers Weekly * If books are truly a portable magic, then The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels is a satchel full of powerful spells and glittering fairy dust -- Lynn Painter, author of Mr Wrong Number The most delightfully bonkers historical fantasy romance of 2021! I enjoyed every absorbing moment -- Jen DeLuca, author of Well Played The most charming, clever, and laugh-out-loud funny book I've read all year . . . India Holton's utterly delightful debut is pure joy from start to finish. -- Martha Waters, author of To Have and to HoaxWeitere Details
