This author excels at depicting supremely competent young women who carry a lifelong wound from feeling unloved and unspecial. In this case the protagonist is an administrator -- the one who gets all the tedious shit done without complaint or excuse -- from a famed family of witches, despite her lack of any magic herself. The family is undergoing a tumultuous generational change as well as dealing with mysterious deaths, hauntings, and external threats in their prosperous but creepy village. A very small amount of romance, of the "they went into the cottage together" variety, but Slatter does not hesitate to describe various bodily fluids in nauseating detail.
