'We have to keep fighting. When witches don't fight, we burn.'Livingston Girls is a fast-paced and witchy coming-of-age mystery full of found family and queer discovery, for fans of Wednesday and These Witches Don't Burn. There's a place for troublesome girls from Salem, Massachusetts: Livingston Academy. When 16-year-old Rose's relationship with her English teacher is exposed, her community mourns his reputation and she's the one banished to the infamous boarding school. Ashamed and hoping to keep her past under wraps, Rose is surprised to learn she's not the only one with a secret: Livingston Academy was founded by the survivors of the Salem witch trials--and their successors still practice magic in secluded dorm rooms and the woods outside the school grounds. When Rose falls in with the strange and rebellious group of girls that make up the Livingston coven, Rose gets an offer to join that she can't refuse. Soon she's part of a hidden world of whispered spells, charms, summonings, and sisterhood. But there's a darker side to becoming a witch--there will always be powerful men who resent and envy a witch's abilities. When the headmaster of the nearby boy's school is revealed to be a witch hunter eager to claim the power of the Livingston coven, Rose and her new friends must fight for their very survival. And Rose might have an even bigger problem. She can't keep her eyes off her prickly coven and roommate Charlie. Will she master her power in time to save the school or will her crush prove a deadly distraction? |
