'Shindig'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
YES!!!!!
Jilli, off the top of my head, these might work:
The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place.
I know there are some others, too. I'll poke around.
Ooh, thank you, Amy!
Bear in mind I haven't read these, although I've sampled the first two on the list above.
The 43 Old Cemetery Road series.
The Case of the Missing Marquess, the first in a series about Enola Holmes, Sherlock and Mycroft's much younger sister.
Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos. Also part of a series.
Oh hey, I think I've got the Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos book upstairs in one of the to-be-read stacks. Go me!
The Case of the Missing Marquess, the first in a series about Enola Holmes, Sherlock and Mycroft's much younger sister.
That sounds like EXACTLY what I need to look at.

Oooh, yes! Though, like the Harry Potter books, they get darker as they go along.
Have extra books lying around? Put them to use.
