With the help of lifelong Crowsbrookers Jessica "Jez" Elliot and her best mate, Sam Katz, Sarah starts to untangle the village's diabolical history and the webs that bind its residents together.

The Crowsbrook Demons is the debut novel of English-born Canadian author Claire Horsnell. In it we’re introduced to Sarah Trevelyan, a member of her ‘family business’ of witchcraft, as she arrives in the small English village of Crowsbrook after inheriting her Great-Aunt’s cottage. She quickly finds herself embroiled in an absolutely fantastic story of demonic contracts, murder, magic, and dealing with some slightly angsty teens. A definite solid start to what looks to be a great ongoing series.
