The year is 1837, and twin sisters Persephone and Penelope ( Persy and Pen for short) are seventeen and gearing up for their society debut. And along the way, Persy learns that husband hunting isn’t such an odious task after all, if you can find the right quarry. Racing through Mayfair ballrooms and royal palaces, the sisters overcome bad millinery, shady royal spinsters, and a mysterious Irish wizard. But right as the inevitable season for “coming out” is about to begin, Persy and her twin sister discover that their governess in magic has been kidnapped as part of a plot to gain control of the soon-to-be Queen Victoria. Shy, studious Persephone Leland would far rather devote herself to her secret magic studies than enter society and look for a suitable husband. In 1837 London, young daughters of viscounts pined for handsome, titled husbands, not careers. Why did I read this book: Bewitching Season came so highly recommended by Tia at Fantasy Debut, and after reading her interview of author Marissa Doyle, I had to buy this book immediately! A book 2, following twin sister Penelope Leland, is in the works! Stand alone or series: As it is, a stand alone novel, but has the makings of becoming a series. Genre: Young Adult, Victorian Historical Fiction with some supernatural magic goings on
