The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

3.5 ⭐️
A story of modern witchcraft, found family and happy endings with important messages throughout. Well done!

Quirky with a hint of spice. The humor balanced the sad moments.

It's so heartwarming and just brings joy to your soul

For me this was kind of an adult, been-there-done-that version of The House In the Cerulean Sea, which I read and reviewed, but did not rate (due to my thoughts on the inspiration the author took for the book), last year. Charming and misunderstood children with magical abilities untapped, antagonists threatening the welfare of the children, fierce protectors of those children, and a protagonist with a sad backstory and the power to save the children from a terrible fate. Sound familiar? The differentiator here is a couple mildly spicy scenes and quite a bit of cursing (and not the magical kind). I'm rounding my 5-star rating up to 3 from 2.5 because I suspect that if I had read this before HCS, I probably would have liked it more. The good news is that if you enjoyed that, you will probably like this too.

Michal too in March so so good Becca
