The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

Witches are alone, they have to be, those are the rules since the spell that went wrong.

Mika Moon though doesn’t want to be alone though she respects and fears Primrose, the oldest most powerful with in their group, not coven definitely not a coven.

So to add a little spice to her life Mika makes Youtube videos pretending to be a witch as she loves magic that much, but unfortunately this is enough to bring her to the attention of a found family that needs help.

There are three young witches who are in desperate need to be taught how to control their magic. One of their wards though, Jamie, is a bit reluctant to bring a stranger into the house and possibly put the girls into danger, so has difficulty with Mika from the start.

Oh did I mention Jamie was a bit of a hunk?

A lot of tooing and froing ensues, misunderstanding, mistakes, confessions, trust broken, trust rebuilt, excitement, tension, but all done in such a way as not to make anyone into a vaudeville baddie.

The ending wasn’t too great a surprise but it was still really well done.

I loved this as it was so sweet and I’m really looking forward to Sangu’s next book coming out in April 2025, “A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping.
