Elderlight
The Grand Coven of Great Britain, Ireland, and All Isles Within Their Domain’s glory days are in the past, but it remains the governing body for all witches in Britain. When members of the Coven start turning up dead, it seems as if someone is settling some old scores or launching a power-grab, or both.
It’s going to take a witch with considerable power to find the perpetrator and bring them to justice before the entire Coven is eliminated. Holly is the obvious witch for the job, but first, she has to avoid joining the list of the recently deceased, or being found guilty of the growing number of murders.

What a great finale to J.S. Watts' series.
This novel has darker, more serious tone as first one, then a second Elder of the Inner Coven are murdered. I had my suspicions early on, but - like Holly - they changed as the story progressed, and my top suspect ended up dead!
Once more, Watts gives us a sumptuous world filled with magic and the mundane life of her non-witch husband Jake. This is a novel which keeps the reader on their toes as Holly navigates the treachery of people she's worked alongside for several years. The prose is engaging and flows so well, it's easy to lose yourself in the pages.
Highly recommended.

Well written, entertaining, imaginative and funny. There are also some thoughts about UK politics, power and misogyny if you are interested in digging deeper, but basically it's a fun read.
