Critics Review

“A sapphic, fantasy Sherlock Holmes with a changeling detective and a witch of a Watson? Count me in every time! Kiri Callaghan’s magical, queer-normative world feels like a safe place to call home–I was so happy to return to it in The Hearth Witch’s Guide to Spite & Spellwork. This brilliant sequel flawlessly combines a string of gruesome murders, so much heart, and a mystery that will keep you guessing until the very last page.” –Liz Parker, author of Witches of Honeysuckle House
“Continuing the tale, The Hearth Witch’s Guide to Spite & Spellwork dives deeper into the underbelly of London’s Fae realm. Pair murder, secrets, and magic with a heart-measured helping of belonging and burgeoning feelings and you have the perfect read for cozy fantasy mystery readers to curl up with.” –J. Penner, USA Today bestselling author of Death Meets Cute

About The Author

Kiri Callaghan

Kiri Callaghan

Born from Ink & Stardust, Kiri Callaghan is an author of fantastical fiction, performer, and poet. Existing work consists of The Terra Mirum Chronicles (Alys, Changeling), The Seek Anomalie Podcast, and a collection of original poems performed live at the Los Angeles Poetry Brothel.

When Kiri is not telling stories or pretending to be other people, she is likely exploring the world, dancing under the moon, or crafting something with superglue, paint, and sheer audacity. She resides with her ridiculously stunning wife, the sweetest ball python to ever exist, a raccoon/bunny hybrid masquerading as a cat, and a sentient void with an unhealthy penchant for chicken in Los Angeles, California.
