À propos de cet audio

Beloved author Ami McKay is back, bringing us a magical follow-up in the tradition of Victorian winter tales to her mesmerizing bestseller, The Witches of New York.

During the nights between Christmas and New Year's, the witches of New York--Adelaide Thom, Eleanor St. Clair and the youngest, Beatrice Dunn--gather before the fire to tell ghost stories and perform traditional Yuletide divinations. (Did you know that roasting chestnuts was once used to foretell one's fate?)

As the witches roast chestnuts and melt lead to see their fate, a series of odd messengers land on their doorstep bearing invitations for a New Year's Eve masquerade hosted by a woman they've never met. Gossip, dreams and portents follow, leading the witches to question the woman's motives. Is she as benevolent as she seems or is she laying a trap? And so, as Gilded-Age New York prepares to ring in the new year, the witches don their finery and head for the ball, on the hunt for answers that might well be the end of them.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“The sequel to Ami McKay’s The Witches of New York is worth the wait.” (Parents Canada)

“A Christmas ghost story is a tradition that hearkens back to pagan times and earlier. McKay’s sweet little book about three witches makes a lovely stocking stuffer.” (Deborah Dundas, The Hamilton Spectator)

I didn't check before buying that it was a short story. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew (would have gone to the public library)
However, it is so nice to be with the 3 witches of NY again. What a beautiful magic story.

I loved this book, the author does a fantastic job however I was disappointed it was so short. As part of the Audible monthly audiobook club I don’t feel that it should have taken an entire credit for this short story.

Short but sweet

Touted as "Book 2" the follow-up to the Witches of New York by audible, this was disappointing as a purchase. At only 6 chapters its really more of a novella - I wish I'd noticed the short running time when purchasing. That being said if you're eager to hear a bit more of your favorite characters this us it. it feels a bit incomplete and takes a major turn out of mediumship and Witches into shapeshifting demons. feels unfinished.

Very short - disappointing
