The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
336 pages · First published 2022
Mika Moon has spent her life hiding her magic, keeping her distance from other witches, and convincing herself that being alone is the safest way to live. But when her playful online videos pretending to be a witch attract an unexpected invitation, she travels to the mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their unpredictable powers. There, she encounters an eccentric household that has become an unconventional family, including Jamie, a handsome but prickly librarian determined to protect the children from outsiders. As Mika grows closer to the girls and begins to fall for Jamie, she discovers the belonging she has always wanted, even as secrets and outside threats put her newfound happiness at risk. This warm found-family fantasy is especially suited to a rainy afternoon, a crackling fire, or any day that calls for hopeful magic and romance.
