The Scratch Daughters is the witty and dauntless sequel to The Scapegracers. Sideways Pike has found her coven- while also discovering a dangerous world of witch hunters. Since the last girl she crushed on stole her magic and ran, Sidways has pretty much hit rock bottom. Surely things can’t get much worse, especially with three incredible coven mates and a book demon keeping her alive. But as tensions rise amongst the coven, they must work together to recover Sideways’ magic or risk Sideways never doing magic again…

I love H.A. Clarke’s writing! The writing is hilarious and witty, even when dealing with dark and emotional subjects. The vivid details paint haunting images, while including warm moments of found family and queer romance. Mr. Scratch has to be one of the best characters!! His journey in this book was creepy, yet fulfilling. Clarke writes outstanding LGBTQ+ rep and infuses the pages with queer joy and vengeful witchiness. I can’t wait to see what happens next with the coven and learn how their journey continues. I love The Scapegracers series! If you enjoy contemporary fantasy, diverse found family, and queer witchiness then you need to check out this series. Thank you to H.A. Clarke, Erewhon Books, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
