Jessica Spotswood - Born ​Wicked
Cate ​Cahill and her sisters are considered eccentric bluestockings—a little odd, a little unfashionable, and far too educated for their own good. The truth is more complicated; they’re witches. And if their secret is discovered by the priests of the Brotherhood, it could mean an asylum, a prison ship—or an early grave. Before their mother died, she entrusted Cate with keeping them safe and keeping everyone, including their father, in the dark about their powers. When her father employs a governess and Cate begins to receive notes from her missing, presumed-mad godmother, her task becomes much more difficult. As Cate searches for answers in banned books and rebellious new friends, she must juggle unwanted proposals, tea parties, and an illicit attraction to the new gardener. Cate will do anything to protect her sisters, but at what cost to herself?

Jessica Spotswood - Schicksalsschwestern
Ein ​Fieber wütet in New London. Doch da allen Hexen die sofortige Hinrichtung droht, ist die Schwesternschaft machtlos gegen die Krankheit. Cate hat sich bereits durch ihre Magie verraten und gilt nun als die meistgesuchte Hexe in ganz Neuengland. Schwerer wiegt für sie jedoch der Verlust ihres geliebten Finn, dessen Gedächtnis gelöscht wurde, sodass er sich nun nicht mehr an ihre einstige Liebe erinnern kann. Und die Visionen, die Cates kleine Schwester Tess immer häufiger heimsuchen, lassen keinen Zweifel daran, dass sich die unheilvolle Prophezeiung erfüllen wird. Cates, Tess‘ und Mauras vorherbestimmtes Schicksal scheint nicht aufzuhalten zu sein: Eine Schwester wird die andere vor Beginn des neuen Jahrhunderts töten … "Eine Geschichte, so fesselnd und bezaubernd, dass man hofft, sie möge niemals enden." Andrea Cremer, New-York-Times-Bestseller-Autorin der Serie Nightshade

Bea and her boyfriend are heading off to college together in the fall, just like they planned when they started dating. But Bea isn’t sure she wants the same things as when she was thirteen… Vi has a crush on the girl next door. It makes her happy and nervous, but Cece has a boyfriend…so it’s not like her feelings could ever be reciprocated, right? As the oldest, Des shoulders a lot of responsibility for her family and their independent bookstore. Except it’s hard to dream big when she’s so busy taking care of everyone else.

Jessica Spotswood - Star ​Cursed

And after Cate's friend Sachi is arrested for using magic, a war-thirsty Sister offers to help her find answers—if Cate is willing to endanger everyone she loves. Cate doesn't want to be a weapon, and she doesn't want to involve her friends and Finn in the Sisterhood's schemes. But when Maura and Tess join the Sisterhood, Maura makes it clear that she'll do whatever it takes to lead the witches to victory. Even if it means sacrifices. Even if it means overthrowing Cate. Even if it means all-out war.
