Summary
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the teahouse。。。
Miss Charlotte Pettifer belongs to a secret league of women skilled in the subtle arts。 That is to say—although it must never be said—witchcraft。 The League of Gentlewomen Witches strives to improve the world in small ways。 Using magic， they tidy， correct， and manipulate according to their notions of what is proper， entirely unlike those reprobates in the Wisteria Society。
When the long lost amulet of Black Beryl is discovered， it is up to Charlotte， as the future leader of the League， to make sure the powerful talisman does not fall into the wrong hands。 Therefore， it is most unfortunate when she crosses paths with Alex O'Riley， a pirate who is no Mr。 Darcy。 With all the world scrambling after the amulet， Alex and Charlotte join forces to steal it together。 If only they could keep their pickpocketing hands to themselves！ If Alex's not careful， he might just steal something else—such as Charlotte's heart。

I broke at the title for chapter 20， and laughed hysterically for a solid 5 minutes。 This was so funny and super cute; a great sequel to the first book。

Last year I read The Wisteria Society for Lady Scoundrels about pirates that fly houses and are pretty good thiefs and pickpockets。 The League of Gentlewomen Witches was was just as witty and whimsical。 I really had fun reading it。 Miss Charlotte Pettifer belongs to a secret league of women， witches， if they existed。 The League of Gentlewomen Witches strives to improve the world in small ways， using magic， according to their notions of what is proper unlike those reprobates in the Wisteria Socie Last year I read The Wisteria Society for Lady Scoundrels about pirates that fly houses and are pretty good thiefs and pickpockets。 The League of Gentlewomen Witches was was just as witty and whimsical。 I really had fun reading it。 Miss Charlotte Pettifer belongs to a secret league of women， witches， if they existed。 The League of Gentlewomen Witches strives to improve the world in small ways， using magic， according to their notions of what is proper unlike those reprobates in the Wisteria Society。 When the long lost amulet of Black Beryl is discovered， it is up to Charlotte， as the future leader of the League， to make sure the powerful talisman does not fall into the wrong hands。 Unfortunately， Lady Armitage， a hated pirate， gets the amulet and flies off in her battle house。 Charlotte hitches a ride with Captain Alex O'Riley， a handsome， rich， rakish pirate。 Will proximity push them into a relationship？ A witch and a pirate？Charlotte and Alex are so much fun together。 Pirates and Witches are sworn enemies so they should not partners in crime on a fun and romantic adventure。 I loved their banter， it was so much fun， especially with the sizzle just under the surface。 The adventures they get up to are so much fun and often had me laughing out loud。 This book has a little more heat and spice than the first book and the romance between Alex and Charlotte is fun and steamy。 The secondary characters added so much to the story with drama， humor， action and danger。 A witch hunter even makes an appearance。 India Holton’s writing is clever and entertaining， with many references to Shakespeare and Austen。 The action is non-stop and the interplay between the rival Wisteria Society and Gentlewomen Witches is wonderful。 This is an enemies-to-lovers， road trip romance （but in a flying house）。 If you’re looking for pure escapism that will keep you laughing， this is the book for you， it is pure escapism and entertainment。 。。。more

I did not know this was the second book in a series （thanks， library app！）。 It was very silly but enjoyable。 I liked the interaction of the main couple。

The League of Gentlewoman Witches is just as charming and delightful as The Wisteria Society， if not more so。 It has the same cheeky humor， absurdly charismatic characters， and top notch banter and dialogue that made me fall in love with this series。 It's also even sexier than the first。 I know it's not fair to keep comparing a first and second book in a companion series， but League is even better than Wisteria Society。 I absolutely adore Alex and Charlotte， their dynamic is so charming and swoo The League of Gentlewoman Witches is just as charming and delightful as The Wisteria Society， if not more so。 It has the same cheeky humor， absurdly charismatic characters， and top notch banter and dialogue that made me fall in love with this series。 It's also even sexier than the first。 I know it's not fair to keep comparing a first and second book in a companion series， but League is even better than Wisteria Society。 I absolutely adore Alex and Charlotte， their dynamic is so charming and swoon worthy and sexy。 It's a sort of enemies to lovers situation and they claim to maintain their enemy status even when obviously madly in love。 It's just SO GOOD。 Charlotte is a big fan of Jane Austen and constantly compares herself to various Austen heroines in various situations and I thought that was a really fun connection。 These books sort of feel like a modern version of an Austen novel so I really enjoyed that cheeky homage。 Fans of Austen will definitely enjoy this book。 I will absolutely be buying myself a finished copy！ Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free e-arc in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I so wanted to like this book。 I loved book 1 in the series， and here we are back in the same bonkers universe， with a prickly heroine and a rakish rake and a jewel heist and flying houses and bicycles。 Somehow， though， this book never quite gets off the ground。The biggest issue for me is the lack of character development。 The whole book is predicated on the theme "two tropes walk into a teahouse"， and Holton relies overmuch on tropes--or clever twists on tropes--to do the storytelling for her。 I so wanted to like this book。 I loved book 1 in the series， and here we are back in the same bonkers universe， with a prickly heroine and a rakish rake and a jewel heist and flying houses and bicycles。 Somehow， though， this book never quite gets off the ground。The biggest issue for me is the lack of character development。 The whole book is predicated on the theme "two tropes walk into a teahouse"， and Holton relies overmuch on tropes--or clever twists on tropes--to do the storytelling for her。 The characters and romance felt flat， so it was hard to stay invested， however much I loved the universe， the literary jokes， and the premise。 。。。more

Absolutely， charmingly brilliant。 To escape reality and be delighted with witty writing…only interrupted by the occasional need to look up a word I couldn’t pronounce （being a woman of STEM）， or to spit out a mouthful of wine with laughter… your latest book was a much needed vacation from life。 Slante， Ms Holton ☘️

Fun。 Joyful。 Crackling with wit and banter and generational rivalry。 India Holton has crafted a world of magic and colorful characters that is so immersive that you can’t help but walk down your street and dream of flying battlehouses and witches who absolutely don’t exist but if they did would be tidying the messes left behind。 I loved Capitan Alex O’Riley when we were briefly introduced to him in The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels…and the Irish pirate captain was exactly the kind of rogui Fun。 Joyful。 Crackling with wit and banter and generational rivalry。 India Holton has crafted a world of magic and colorful characters that is so immersive that you can’t help but walk down your street and dream of flying battlehouses and witches who absolutely don’t exist but if they did would be tidying the messes left behind。 I loved Capitan Alex O’Riley when we were briefly introduced to him in The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels…and the Irish pirate captain was exactly the kind of roguish （he thinks）， rakish （he claims） romantic hero that you hope for！ Charlotte Pettifer is the prophesied heir of Beryl Black/Black Beryl – depending on if you ask a pirate or a witch （but you can’t ask a witch as they absolutely do not exist！）。 And when Beryl’s magical amulet is stolen by （the mad， murderous， perhaps slightly amourous） Lady Armitage， the Wisteria Society and Wicken League set off to hunt down the amulet and the Pirate Captain and Charlotte who abducted him。 Or he abducted her。 Either way， they are under no circumstances willingly in each others’ company and absolutely despise each other…Or do they？ The most fun you will ever have is in the reading of an India Holton novel。 I promise。 And this one absolutely did not let me down。 I was giggling， smiling so much my cheeks hurt， and a few times found myself with tears in my eyes。 The banter between Alex and Charlotte was witty and funny， and equal parts highbrow and hilarious。 The romantic moments they share had me swooning more than once。 And the absolute romping hijinx filled feud between magical pirates with flying houses and witches with deadly broomsticks was just plain fun。 There are tender， emotional moments between Charlotte and Alex as they discover their love for each other， and as Alex wrestles with his complicated emotional history。 Ned and Cecilia have a few cameos that reminded me of why I fell in love with them and this series in the first place。 If you have yet to read this series， what are you waiting for？！Tally Ho！ ⭐️5/5🔥2。5/5 （open door， not overly descriptive）🧙🏻♀️0/5。 We've been over this。 Witches absolutely do not exist。 🏴☠️ 10/10。 Charming。 Dashing。 Not as fearsome as they think they are。 。。。more

Hilarious and witty—I felt like I highlighted every other line—but also it’s about 99% fluff and 1% any serious content。 Editing this to say that， yes there is some serious content and both main characters have real insecurities that are relatable。 But the overall tone of this book is extremely light and frothy， which means that it is hard to build upon any kind of serious message。 One of my favorite scenes is in the beginning when Charlotte is making a hilarious getaway from robbing Alex， and s Hilarious and witty—I felt like I highlighted every other line—but also it’s about 99% fluff and 1% any serious content。 Editing this to say that， yes there is some serious content and both main characters have real insecurities that are relatable。 But the overall tone of this book is extremely light and frothy， which means that it is hard to build upon any kind of serious message。 One of my favorite scenes is in the beginning when Charlotte is making a hilarious getaway from robbing Alex， and she stops to make a choice between giving a beggar boy some food， which would mean getting caught， and continuing on her way。 It was an extremely well done moment because the tone was still consistent with the rest of the novel， but it showed a certain depth to Charlotte’s character。 Alas， moments like these were few and far between。 I loved the humor but it can also get a tiny bit tiresome after a while—it’s like eating whipped cream—so while I will definitely continue reading this author’s works I am also grateful that there’s only one so many of books like this。 I will say， however， that her parodies of famous Jane Austen lines—and indeed of Austen’s whole writing style in general—were absolute PERFECTION。 。。。more
