The girls form a secret coven and cast spells for confidence, fun and freedom; one spell brings an unexpected, deadly consequence.
Eliza’s parents expect her to learn the qualities of a graceful, dutiful wife, while she and her housemates experience magic as a route to freedom and power.
One spell has an unexpected, deadly consequence, and magic is described as potentially destructive. If death or supernatural peril is difficult for your reader, consider checking in as the story’s tone shifts from fun towards danger.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
