Cursed daughters [text (large print)] : a novel / by Braithwaite, Oyinkan,author.;
"From the author of smash hit My Sister, the Serial Killer comes an exuberant new novel about the burden of inheritance and the nature of family. When Ebun gives birth to her daughter, Ewa, on the day they bury her cousin Monifa, there is no denying the startling resemblance between the child and her dead cousin. So begins the belief, fostered and fanned by Ebun's aunt and her mother, that Ewa is the reincarnation of Monifa. Ebun, who had a complicated relationship with her late cousin, is averse to the idea, but as the years pass and similarities between Monifa and Ewa increase, she finds it hard to be with her daughter without feeling haunted. What's more, she's haunted by secrets: she refuses to tell Ewa who her father is, and she's still keeping another, deeper secret that she never revealed to Monifa before her death. Ebun, to the consternation of her mother and aunt, begins to drag her daughter to various spiritual guides, determined to separate her spirit from her dead cousin's. Ewa, now a young woman, is determined to strike out on her own path ... she does not tell her mother about the dreams she has where Monifa visits her. In the past, Monifa plunges into the freefall of new love, unaware of the tragedy that awaits her. Braithwaite's sophomore novel is the story of three women, of a family, of prejudice and superstition; it asks us what it means to be given a second chance, and how we live with what we've been given."--

The shadow cabinet : a novel / by Dawson, Juno,author.;
"In the second installment of Juno Dawson's "irresistable" fantasy trilogy (Lana Harper), a group of childhood friends and witches must choose between what is right and what is easy if they have any hope of keeping their coven--and their world--from tearing apart forever. Niamh Kelly is gone. Her troubled twin, Ciara, now masquerades as the benevolent witch as Her Majesty's Royal Coven prepares to crown her High Preistess. Suffering from amnesia, Ciara can't remember what she's done--but if she wants to survive, she must fool Niamh's adopted family and friends; the coven; and the murky Shadow Cabinet--a secret group of mundane civil servants who are already suspicious of witches. While she tries to rebuild her past, she realizes none of her past has forgotten her, including her former lover, renegade warlock Dabney Hale. On the other end of the continent, Leonie Jackman is in search of Hale, rumored to be seeking a dark object of ultimate power somehow connected to the upper echelons of the British government. If the witches can't figure out Hale's machinations, and fast, all of witchkind will be in grave danger--along with the fate of all (wo)mankind. Sharp, funny, provocative, and joyous, Juno Dawson's sequel reimagines everything you think you knew about her coven and her witches in a story that spans continents and dives deep into the roots of England and its witchcraft. Ciara, Leonie, Elle, and Theo are fierce, angry, sexy, warm--and absolutely unapologetic as they fight for what they believe in, all in the name of sisterhood"--
