MEDIA REVIEWS
'As much fun as the English language will permit.'- New York Times Book Review
'There's no literary experience quite like reading an India Holton book. The League of Gentlewoman Witches is a wild,rollicking,delicious carnival ride of a story,filled with rakish pirates,chaotic witches,flying houses (and bicycles,and pumpkins),delightful banter,and some serious steam. You've never read Victorian romance like this before... and it'll ruin you for everything else.'- Lana Harper
'Clever word play,delightful double entendres,and adventurous high jinks will delight fans of smart,witchy romances,including the first in Holton's Dangerous Damsels series,The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels'- Booklist
'The whimsical worldbuilding forms a perfect backdrop to the angsty couple,and Holton's winking narration,which puts her in cahoots with the reader,makes her exaggerated characters work. Overflowing with heart,humor,and hyperbole,this clever romance enchants.'- Publishers Weekly
