Curtain Call

Curtain Call is the seventh Widdershins book and the end of the Deadly Sins arc. It is also the longest book by quite a bit. It sees all the protagonists of the previous books teaming up to face off against every deadly sin in reverse order ending with Lust.

Blurb
The spirits of emotion that power Widdershins, England's most magical town, have been overtaken by the dark forces of the Seven Deadly Sins. The only ones who can save the place from itself are daring bounty hunter Harriet Barber, her friends, and Jack O'Malley: the town's uncertain, untrained, and utterly unwilling new guardian.

They may have everything they need to save the day, but when you're fighting monsters of your own making, your own worst enemy may be yourself...
