The Ink Witch

Steph Cherrywell

Becca Slugg spends the end of summer helping at her family’s Cape Disappointment Beach Inn, clashing with her protective mother, and talking to a spider near the dumpsters. Her wish for something to happen brings Malatrice, her mother’s estranged and threatening sister. Malatrice casts an ink spell that leaves Becca’s mother a mindless puppet and puts the family coven at risk. With a talking tarantula and an ice troll beside her, Becca enters a hidden magical world, confronts her aunt’s plans, and begins to question whether magic runs through her as well.
