Not Good for Maidens

Under the streets of York lies a goblin market, where fruit, gems, liquor and dancing draw in humans and then kill them. The Wickett women, a family of witches, have guarded the old cobblestone streets against it with their magic for generations. None of them ever went inside.

May Wickett did. She fell for a goblin girl, accepted an invitation, and bound herself to the world her family had tried to keep from her. The market learned her name. When May and her sister left York for Boston, the goblins still remembered.

Seventeen years later, May's niece Lou knows nothing of her magical lineage or of the market's twisted streets and sweet fruit. The market calls to her anyway, an echo of a curse that has never let go of her family.

Then goblins kidnap Lou's youngest aunt, Neela. To get her back, Lou and May have to face what happened all those years ago. Every taste and trinket in the market is bait for a human who finds the way in, and Lou could lose herself there as May nearly did.
