Five supernatural sister stories

Chelsea Iversen has been reading and writing stories since before she knew what verbs were. She loves tea and trees and travel and reads her runes at every full moon.

Iversen lives with her husband and Pepper the dog in Colorado.

The Witches at the End of the World is her debut novel.

At CrimeReads she tagged five supernatural sister stories, including:
Alix E. Harrow, The Once and Future Witches

Filled with folklore and fairytales, this story of The Eastwood sisters, James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna, puts power into the hands of witches. The sisters join the suffrage movement in New Salem, where witchcraft has been suppressed for generations, and they must reclaim witching for themselves, and for the women of New Salem, in order to win the vote and ensure their survival. These sisters all have distinct personalities that lend to three very different tales, all spun together with the objective of bringing magic back to witches.

The Once and Future Witches is among Kim DeRose's seven top books about witches and badass covens, Mark Skinner's twenty top witch lit titles, Sarah Pinsker's five SFF books that showcase siblings at their core, and Heather Walter's five SFF books about wicked women.
