The Widdershins sisters series by Michelle Harrison is one I absolutely adore, so when I saw this on Net Galley I immediately requested it, not realising it was a sampler.. Although disappointed not to have a sneaky peek at the whole thing, I very much enjoyed what I was permitted to read and it has made me all the more excited to read the whole book.
If you are already a fan, you will be familiar with the different characters of the three sisters and their grandmother who, having moved in Book 3, are now leaving home temporarily to visit a sick relative, supposedly to look after her. Arriving at cousin Clarissa's house, the girls listen keenly to her story of the theft of a mesmerising crystal ball which ended badly for the thief, before discovering that not only were they not expected, but there is no room for them to stay.
Luckily -or not - for them, Clarissa has an arrangement with the nearby Echo Hall, and the girls find them staying there, but the hall is not what it seems. Shown to their room, the girls are a little surprised to see that they are expected to make up the beds and when Betty follows the maid to try to talk to her, she appears to have vanished into thin air.
With the promise of magic and mystery, and hopefully a high scare factor, this is a title I cannot wait to read in full when it is released in February.

I can never get enough of these characters. I love these sisters with my whole heart and Harrison does an outstanding job at bringing each of their personalities to the spotlight. This sample made me so excited to read the whole thing. It has the perfect Widdershin’s vibe that is present in each instalment. The sense of adventure at your fingertips, a mystery that you’re desperate to unfold. Cannot wait!

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for the sample ARC in exchange for an honest review.
