By Gail Blue

Book Overview

Beware of Old Witch Scraggsies! A pact with the darkness left her twisted and deformed. Strange noises and flashes of light have been coming out of her basement at night, and all the cats in the neighborhood have disappeared.Lies. All lies. Eliza Scaggs (not Scraggsies, thank you) is tired of all the rumors about her. Sure, she's looking a bit haggard as of late, but she's been working herself to the bone on a government project to prove that she, the only woman on the wizards council, belongs there. So yes, maybe she's got some gray in her hair, but she's not old, not really. And the only thing she's made a pact with is her purveyor of rot brew tea.She's even taken on a new apprentice. Mentoring a teen, that's not something a twisted hell spawn would do, right? Still, there is something off about the boy, Oliver. He's a good kid, but he's quiet, too quiet, and she's worried that when he asks her if she can "fix" people, he means himself¿But don't worry the cats are fine.Witches, Boys, and Other Monsters is a historical fantasy set in the 1800s about a Witch who's not really a witch, a boy who's not really a boy, and all the "monsters" out there who are just regular people.
