The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

Mika Moon has spent her life following the first rule of witches: keep your head down, stay apart from other witches, and never let anyone see what you can do. Orphaned young and raised to be alone, she films tongue-in-cheek "witch" videos online as a private joke — until one of them draws a very real invitation. She is asked to come to Nowhere House, a rambling English estate, to tutor three young witches whose untrained magic is beginning to slip out of control.

Against every rule she's lived by, Mika accepts, and finds at Nowhere House something she never expected: not just three lonely, powerful children who need her, but a whole ramshackle found family of caretakers who have gathered to protect them. Chief among them is Jamie, the household's prickly, fiercely protective librarian, who wants Mika gone almost as much as the children want her to stay.

Sangu Mandanna's The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches is a warm, cozy fantasy romance about belonging. Charming and low-stakes in the best way, it's a story about the families we build, the walls we lower, and the courage it takes to finally let yourself be wanted.
