During the nights between Christmas and New Year's three witches gather to perform traditional Yuletide divinations that reveal their futures. Their immediate future is revealed to them as a series of messengers come to them bearing invitations to a masquerade ball - a ball hosted by an unknown woman.
They are not sure if it is a trap or if this woman is a benevolent hostess. Either way they dress in their finery and head for the ball.... on the hunt for answers that could be the end to all of them.

A short quick read.

It was short and sweet and I was quickly pulled into the story.

Go find the longer novel these three witches - Adelaide Thom, Eleanor St. Clair and Beatrice Dunn - are from which is Ami McKay's The Witches of New York. There is a bigger story here, but this novella only touches on a tiny portion of their life. I want to know more.

If you are interested in Witches and the occult this will be for you.

I was pleasantly surprised by this read.
