Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm The Bandersnatch and I have no idea what I'm doing.


Today's books I suggest are: A Dark and Drowning Tide by Alison Saft and A Witches Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Madanna.


A DARK AND DROWNING TIDE

by

Alison Saft.


Lorelei Kaskel, a folklorist with a quick temper and even quicker wit, is on an expedition with six eccentric nobles in search of a fabled spring. The magical spring promises untold power, which the king wants to harness to secure his reigm of the embattled country of Brunnestaad. Lorelei is determined to use this opportunity to prove herself and make her wildest, most impossible dream to become a naturalist, able to travel freely to lands she's only ever dreamed about.


The expedition gets off to a harrowing start when its leader—Lorelei's beloved mentor—is murdered in her quarters aboard ship. The suspects are her five remaining expedition mates, each with their own motive. The only person Lorelei knows must be innocent is her longtime academic rival, the insufferably gallant and maddeningly beautiful Sylvia Von Wolff. Now in charge of the expedition, Lorelei must find the spring before the murderer strikes again—and a coup begins in earnest.


But there are other dangers lurking in the forests that rearrange themselves at night, rivers with slumbering dragons waiting beneath the water, and shapeshifting beasts out for blood.


As Lorelei and Sylvias grudgingly work together to uncover the truth—and resist their growing feelings for one another-- they discover that their professor had secrets of her own. Secrets that make Lorelei question whether justice is worth pursuing, or if this kingdom is worth saving at all.

A WITCHES GUIDE TO MAGICAL INNKEEPING

by

Sangu Madanna

Sera Swan was once one of the most powerful witches in Britain. Then she resurrected her Great-aunt Josephine from the (very recently) dead, lost most of her magic, befriended a semi-villainous talking fox, and was exiled from her magical Guild. Now she (slightly reluctantly and a bit grumpily) helps Aunt Jasmine run an inn in Lancashire, where she deals with her quirky guest's shenanigans, ties to keep the talking fox in check and longs for the magical future she's lost.


When she learns about an old spell book that could hold the secret to restoring her power, she finds herself turning to Luke Larson, a gorgeous and icy historian who might be the only person who can help her unlock the books mysteries. The fact that he also happens to be her one-night stand from years ago is totally irrelevant.


Running an inn, reclaiming lost magic, and trying not to fall in love is a lot for anyone, but Sera is about to discover that she doesn't have to do it alone...and that the weird wonderful family she's made might be the best magic of all.
