Back Cover: Magic or Marriage? Twins Persephone and Penelope Leland are anticipating their first London season with mixed feelings. Pen can’t wait to flirt with handsome young men at parties, but Persy would far rather stay home and continue her magic studies. When the twins discover that their governess has been kidnapped as part of a dastardly plot to enchant the soon-to-be queen, they’re determined to find and save them both. Along the way, Persy learns that a good lady’s maid is hard to find, that one should never cast a love spell on anyone after drinking too much brandy punch at a party, that pesky little brothers can sometimes come in handy, and that husband-hunting isn’t such an odious task after all, if you can find the right quarry.

This is a very imaginative book where a set of twins are in search of love and magic, and end up saving the soon to be queen. It changes character perspective throughout the story but in such away so that you can see what is going on. Persy is a beautiful girl who feels that she is a toned down version of her identical twin. She is also very much into her magic studies and doesn’t want to deal with her first season. But all the other characters also come into play throughout the story, which makes for a brilliant story. I couldn’t put it down and am looking forward to reading the next book, Betraying Season.
