Melinda Taub, best known for her "Romeo & Juliet" riff "Still Star-Crossed," returns to the classic literature well with "The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch." Taub reimagines the flighty youngest Bennet sister not as the silly flirt we know from "Pride & Prejudice," but as a curious young witch experimenting with her own power. Accompanied by her "sister" Kitty (actually her cat familiar in human form), Lydia encounters powerful covens of witches, magically meddles in others' lives with sometimes disastrous results, and more. When she gets entangled in a deal with a demon and his charming son, she'll have to lean on unexpected allies and get control of her own powers.
