Book review: The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
Published on 25 November 2025
Genre: Fantasy
Reviewer: Sarah
Why I chose this book:
I love fantasy novels especially when they're filled with Disney-esque magic and this sounded like a winner.
Quick Summary:
Modern witch Mika Moon follows three rules: hide your magic, go unnoticed and stay away from other witches lest the concentration of magic reveal their existence to mortals.
She's alone yet quite content working from home, really she is. Unsurprisingly, when an invitation arrives move to Nowhere House to teach three young witches, Mika gladly accepts.
Over time she comes to care for her students and the prickly librarian of the manor and realises she may just have found where she's meant to be. When her newfound family is threatened, will Mika risk everything to keep it?
What I thought:
This novel was a delightful blend of cosy, magical and heartfelt. The characters' struggles were relatable and the type of magic used in the book was fanciful and cute.
Oh, to have my chores do themselves for a change! The relationships felt real and the stakes were just high enough to keep the pages turning without losing the warm fuzziness. The dash of romance was also adorable.
Who should read this?
For all cosy-fantasy lovers who are in the mood to be thoroughly charmed and delighted.
