About the book

The delicious horror of Ransom Riggs and the sass of Mean Girls meets Titanic in this follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller How to Hang a Witch, in which a contemporary teen finds herself a passenger on the famous “ship of dreams”—a story made all the more fascinating because the author’s own relatives survived the doomed voyage.
 
Samantha Mather knew her family’s connection to the infamous Salem Witch Trials might pose obstacles to an active social life. But having survived one curse, she never thought she’d find herself at the center of a new one.
 
This time, Sam is having recurring dreams about the Titanic . . . where she’s been walking the deck with first-class passengers, like her aunt and uncle. Meanwhile, in Sam’s waking life, strange missives from the Titanic have been finding their way to her, along with haunting visions of people who went down with the ship.
 
Ultimately, Sam and the Descendants, along with some help from heartthrob Elijah, must unravel who is behind the spell that is drawing her ever further into the dream ship . . . and closer to sharing the same grim fate as its ghostly passengers.
 
Praise for How to Hang a Witch:
 
“It’s like Mean Girls meets history class in the best possible way.” —Seventeen
 
“Mather shines a light on the lessons the Salem Witch Trials can teach us about modern-day bullying—and what we can do about it.” —Bustle.com
 
“Strikes a careful balance of creepy, fun, and thoughtful.” —NPR
 
“I am utterly addicted to Adriana Mather’s electric debut. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, twisting and turning with ghosts, witches, an ancient curse, and—sigh—romance. It’s beautiful. Haunting. The characters are vivid and real. I. Could. Not. Put. It. Down.” —Jennifer Niven, bestselling author of All the Bright Places

    'Hell is other people.' 3.25 stars My goodness! I don't think I ever picked up a sequel where I basically hated the first installment and ended up kinda happy with the sequel. (I can't quit series for crap, it's basically a nightmare.) Samantha is much more agreeable in this one as are the Descendents. Having a whole new situation in Sam's home really makes all the difference. Jaxon is still not my favorite person but at least he was a piece of the puzzle this time. The new Titanic narrative - while still taken from the author's family history - is totally gripping and I even figured out the villain this time so I didn't feel completely lost. I need a moment to talk about Elijah. How awesome is he?! I mean, he's not perfect and totally stupid in the way he goes about wanting to protect Sam (just like her Dad). I think I once read a book where someone said that the men in books who keep secrets from the heroine in order to protect her just end up hurting her by having kept those secrets. Which totally applies here (and to lots of other books as well!). But Elijah just has that air around him that makes him utterly swoonworthy.
