Sangu Mandanna: The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches (Paperback, 2022, Berkley) 4 stars

As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide …

A Cozy Rom Com with Witches

5 stars

Another book with a found family. I'm not sure if it's becoming a popular setup, or if I'm just unconsciously leaning into it myself.

This is a cozy book. The protagonist, Mika, is a lonely witch that's somewhat given up on people. She's a person of color (which I think is rad), but that doesn't factor heavily in the story. This book isn't meant to change minds or shine a light on prejudice or any such thing. It's a cozy romance with magic.

Mika lands a job tutoring three young witches (which is very much against the Rules), and finds delight with a mismatch group of caring people.

The characters are a delight to read. There's lots of funny moments, lots of touching moments, and a very spicy scene between Mika and her romantic interest. I loved it, and if you like light-hearted romance, you probably will as well.
