If the way Fern’s mail-order spellbook spreads harm across Anathema Island hooked you, you’ll love how the Swan sisters’ century-old curse lures an Oregon harbor town to ruin in The Wicked Deep. Like Nor trying to stop Fern’s blood-soaked magic, Penny must decide how far she’ll go to break a deadly enchantment that preys on love and longing—dark, briny, and beautifully eerie.

You watched storms and blights ripple through Anathema when Fern amplified forbidden spells; in The Nature of Witches, climate itself answers to witchcraft. Clara, whose power peaks in every season, must decide how to use her gifts when the planet’s weather unravels—echoing Nor’s struggle with what power should and shouldn’t do to the world they love.

If you were drawn to the Blackburn women’s lineage—from Rona to Nor—and the sensuous, sea-salt-and-cedar language of The Price Guide to the Occult, Practical Magic offers that same spell: sisters shaped by a family curse, a love story that tangles with fate, and prose that shimmers while asking what it really means to inherit magic—and responsibility.

Nor’s fear of becoming like Fern—and her choice to confront power rather than surrender to it—rhymes with the girls of Sawkill Girls. On another ominous island, they uncover a predatory force and must decide how to use their own unsettling abilities. The question that haunts Nor—what do you owe others when your power can hurt or save—drives every decision here.

If you liked how Anathema’s history—and Rona Blackburn’s legacy—presses on Nor’s every choice, The Devouring Gray traps its teens in another small community ruled by ancestral bargains. Violet Saunders and her friends comb through town lore to stop a monster their families once bound, much like Nor digging into her lineage to stop Fern’s catastrophic spellwork.
