Attis and Effie transform Anna’s life, she has friends for the first time and really starts to blossom as a young women and witch.

She is attractive, popular, is able to perform magic, is rebellious and has Attis. Anna’s life is hard, with plenty of chores before school and no life outside the house or school. Her aunt teaches her magic is sinful, she must fight it, not let her emotions take over. Her parents died when she was a baby, leaving her in the care of her mother’s sister.


Anna and Effie are total opposites, Anna is quiet, has no friends, doesn’t go out and is very much under the control of her aunt. Whilst the book is told from Anna’s point of view, this is also Effie’s story. This is, pardon the pun, a magical read, full of drama, spells and amazing characters. I was really looking forward to reading Threadneedle and it didn’t disappoint. They show her a different side to magic, a different life if Anna is willing to take a chance. She just wants to blend in and study, but her life is thrown into turmoil when Effie and Attis arrive like a bomb in her life. Anna is a witch, but her aunt teaches her that magic is a sin so she can’t do spells. Threadneedle is the story of Anna, who not only faces the usual pit falls of being sixteen, but she is different in a way none of her contemporaries could know. Threadneedle has been on my radar since last year, so I can’t tell you how excited I was to be given the opportunity to review and be part of the blog tour. A club where revellers lose themselves in a haze of spells.īut as she is swept deeper into this world, Anna begins to wonder if her Aunt was right all along. A secret library where the librarian feeds off words. They open her eyes to a London she never knew existed.

Now Anna counts down the days to the ceremony that will bind her magic forever. They destroy everything in the end …’Īnna’s Aunt has always warned her of the dangers of magic.
