The Wisteria Society Of Lady Scoundrels

Bridgerton-like characters with the addition of pirates and spies and hired assassins and flying houses. And not to forget, Queen Victoria, who can fly the whole Windsor Castle in her first attempt at magic. The humour is top notch.Book arrived on time and in good condition.

The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels (Dangerous Damsels Book 1) by India Holton is a lot of fun. With flying houses used as vehicles, pirates, witches, and plot twists galore, this novel is unique by combining it all. The one-liners had me laughing out loud. Literally.The main characters are complicated and likeable. Cecilia Bassingthwaite, a proper lady, thief, and excellent in weaponry is seeking a promotion in the Wisteria Society and is plotting to kill her father who killed her mother. Then there’s Ned, the pirate. Or is it Captain Lighbourne? Or possibly Signor De Luca? He goes by many names, but he’s suave and cunning. He’s contracted to kill Cecilia—or protect her—it depends on who is asked.Ned is hired by many people to counteract everybody’s plots. He quips to Cecilia, “Obviously, Morvath doesn’t trust me at all.” Cecilia’s quick reply is “Does anyone?”One of Ned’s employers confronts him when he brings Cecilia along to her house. “You told me to bring you her (Cecilia’s) finger,” Ned reminds the woman. She replies to him, “Yes, but not attached to the rest of her person.” The scene where Ned searches for Cecilia’s aunt’s key is priceless.It’s a fun story with well-written and not overly done romance. I would (and have) recommended the book, and I will get the second one in the series.

Just read this book wow most unusual book I’ve read. Hysterical

Don’t get me wrong, they are all 5 star books to me. I started with this one, and it’s still my favorite. It’s quirky but so fun, not at all my typical book but I can’t recommend it enough.

honestly a great read!! i love books with witty banter and this book is full of it. i will say that due to the book being based in a different era it can be slightly difficult to understand the references and terminology used but otherwise it was truly an amazing read! there was also a great spicy scene which was an amazing bonus! overall a great book highly recommend!
