goodreads the very secret society of irregular witches

Mika’s scenes with the children, Rosette, Altimira, and Terracotta were my favorites from the book. It was fun to watch her interact with the children and to watch her get under the skin of Jamie, the grumpy but sexy librarian who happens to be the children’s guardian. There’s an almost Mary Poppins-like quality to her that I especially enjoyed. Mika also has a huge heart, as we quickly see once she arrives at Nowhere House and starts working with the children. I felt tremendous sympathy for her knowing what an isolated life she had been living for so many years. Mika is an easy character to fall in love with. Mika therefore is used to living a lonely life, but when an opportunity arises for her to move to a place called Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic, Mika jumps at the chance, having no idea how much her life is about to change. The story follows Mika Moon, a young orphaned witch who has been raised to hide her magic from others and to stay away from other witches so as not to draw the attention of non-witches. This book is pure magic in every sense of the word – it’s whimsical, full of heart, and it has a found family vibe that reminds me of TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea. If there was a literary genre called cozy fantasy, that’s where The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna would be.

I’m a sucker for a good found family story so I’m thrilled to share my thoughts on both of these with you.

Bring on the sweater weather! Anyway, I’m back today with reviews for two brand-new releases that share a common theme – found families. Happy Friday! How in the world is it September already? I have to admit I’m ready for fall though.
