Praise for Waggoner and Her Novels
“Waggoner melds lush imagery, humor, and a surprise twist into a contemporary paranormal mystery that will have readers clamoring for more of Sherry the librarian.”—Booklist (starred review)
"Waggoner makes nimble and entertaining use of cozy mystery tropes while also constructing Winesap’s larger supernatural conflict with careful attention to detail. Meanwhile, plentiful humor and endearing budding friendships give the story heart. Fantasy fans who also watched Murder, She Wrote and wondered about the abnormally high murder rate in Cabot Cove will especially want to check this one out."—Publishers Weekly
"The most unique, haunting, magical, treacherous, romantic, combative novel I've read in a long time. Action, betrayal, peoples at war, strange magic, and stranger love—a whole new take on fantasy!"—#1 New York Times bestselling author Tamora Pierce
"Much of the comedy in Ms. Waggoner's story comes from the clash between Delly's Dickensian world, where 'red drip' takes the place of cheap gin, and the Jane Austen realm of arranged marriages, footmen, and careful distinctions between ladies and lady-adjacent personages....There's great fun in figuring out the rules of the game."—The Wall Street Journal
“The Somewhat Wicked Witch of Brigandale is wildly witty, utterly delightful, and stars a cranky crone I absolutely adore. There’s nothing somewhat about how much I love this book.” – Sangu Mandanna, New York Times bestselling author of A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping
"My favorite thing I've read all year. A fairy tale for everyone who'd rather wear sensible shoes than glass slippers... Witchy, witty, wise, and wonderful." – Julie Leong, USA Today bestselling author of The Teller of Small Fortunes
“Humorous and warmhearted... Readers seeking fun and clever comfort reading will find this hits the spot.” - Publishers Weekly
