Nicola Lambo appears to have a merry time narrating this debut novel. In Florida, Logan, a new white student at a magical girls’ boarding school, finds an instant bond with three Black returning students. The girls are determined to break the town’s curse and join with two boys from a nearby boys’ school. The story is told from their six points of view, and the use of so many perspectives takes a bit of getting to. Lambo uses multiple accents to establish the characters and their personalities. To tell this fast-paced story, Lambo has a lot of moments of suspense to handle. There are quiet moments as well between various combinations of the friends, and then Lambo is off and running again in the race against time. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
The Haunting Season is here and the Wolves are awake.
Haelsford, Florida, is a hellmouth. Or at least, that's what Logan, a new witch struggling to control her powers, thinks when she arrives at Mesmortes Coven Academy. She is immediately taken under the wing of the infamous Red Three: Iris, a deathwitch, who wants nothing more than to break the town's curse; Thalia, the talented greenwitch, on the run from her religious family and a past that still haunts her; and Jailah, one of the most extraordinary witches at the academy whose thirst for power may lead her down a dark path.
With the Haunting Season approaching, Wolves will soon rise from the swamp to kill, and the humans and witches must work together to survive the yearly onslaught. However, the history between humans and witches is long and bloodied, with the current truce hard-won and hanging in the balance. And this year, the stakes couldn't be higher as two boys from Hammersmitt School prepare to make their first sacrifices to the witches in exchange for protection. But when students start turning up dead, Iris, Thalia, Jailah, and Logan realize they'll have to harness their powers and stop the Wolves themselves. Yet old dangers lie in wait, and the cost to break the curse may be greater than any witch or human could ever know...
