Blurb from Goodreads:
In the aftermath of
World War I, a naive woman is swept into a glittering world filled with
dark magic, romance, and murder in this lush and decadent debut.
On Crow Island, people whisper, real magic lurks just below the surface.
Neither
real magic nor faux magic interests Annie Mason. Not after it stole her
future. She’s only on the island to settle her late father’s estate
and, hopefully, reconnect with her long-absent best friend, Beatrice,
who fled their dreary lives for a more glamorous one.
Yet Crow Island is brimming with temptation, and the biggest one may be her enigmatic new neighbor.
Mysterious
and alluring, Emmeline Delacroix is a figure shadowed by rumors of
witchcraft. And when Annie witnesses a confrontation between Bea and
Emmeline at one of the island's extravagant parties, she is drawn into a
glittering, haunted world. A world where the boundaries of wickedness
are tested, and the cost of illicit magic might be death.
Why I'm Anticipating This:
An LGBTQIA+ Great Gatsby retelling potentially with magic?
