The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

“This is one of my coziest reads of the last year, and I find myself thinking about its enchanted setting all the time.”−Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family—and a new love—changes the course of her life.

As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she’s used to being alone and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos "pretending" to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.

But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and…Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he’s concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat.

As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when peril comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn’t know she was looking for....

Warm, witty and wry

An outright pleasure to listen to, really well narrated. A future comfort listen and definitely worth the credit.

Imaginative, charming, uplifting

A lovely escape. The writing is good, I found it on a best romance list. Not really a romance, though there is a romance story line. It is more about family and belonging. The magic is fun. Not dark or weird. I recommend.

Great book

Loved it, a little slow in the beginning but give it a chance. Very heart warming and funny once you are introduced to all the characters.

Everything I needed

I love Sangu Mandannas work and this was a whole other level of amazingness. Highly recommend!!

Top 10 for sure!

I picked this up because I saw it on bookstagram. I absolutely adored every minute of it. Found family seems to be a winner for me. There was such a delightful cast of characters- Mika, the young witches, Jamie (swoon!), Ian. Please do yourself a favor and listen to this one. The narration was perfect and I definitely think I will listen to it again!

Super Sweet Story of Found Family

I really enjoyed this. It took me a little while to get into it but there were some good twists and the grumpy/sunshine relationship of Jamie and Mika was so cute. I really loved the found family element the most though. It was super sweet and well done.

So freaking cute

Ok I am not a romance girl. Honestly I have never read books about witches either but a girlfriend read and loved it so I decided to try it out. Seriously just a cute quick escape from reality kind of book. Highly recommend

Good listen

This was a cute story and a good listen. It kept my interest until the end which I find difficult in some audiobooks. I typically do not listen to fantasy stories with a lot of romance but enjoyed this one.

Delightful and full of heart

I loved this book more than I thought. I thought I would like it, but I really loved it! It was funny, full of heart, and about so much more than witches. Highly recommend!

Such a cute and sweet book!

I loved this easy listen!! This book has everything I love, a little mystery, a little romance, great writing and a talented narration.
