About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Miss Charlotte Pettifer belongs to a secret society skilled in a very particular art. That is to say—although it mustn't be said too loudly—witchcraft.

When rumours of the long-lost amulet of Black Beryl start to circulate, it is up to Charlotte to make sure this powerful talisman doesn't get into the wrong hands.

Which is precisely what happens when the evil Lady Armitage gets her grip on it.

When Charlotte demands the help of the rakish pirate Alex O'Riley, they both set off to find the amulet.

But there is one problem—pirates and witches are sworn enemies and to be seen with one would surely break the Witchcraft Code?

And that's before sparks begin to fly....

The Princess Bride meets Jane Austen in this joyously romantic caper which follows two enemies turned allies who must uncover a power jewel and may just discover a forbidden love along the way....

it was an ok love story of sorts. bit of Oliver twist crossed with pirates. I didn't enjoy it that much, I won't be paying for any more of the series.

So India Holten has reminded me, in some ways, of reading Terry Pratchett - that is not a small amount of praise. Her characters were great in this, and with more time I think they’d only develop depth. The humour was great, it just made me giggle. There was an air of danger at times which just balanced things nicely. It didn’t air on the sadness and pathos that some books have but that’s ok, because this wasn’t those books. It was very sweet, touching, funny, romantic, completely daft, heartening and I really liked the characters. I will absolutely be reading more.

Bloody brilliant!
