Witchy romances to read this fall
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
by Sangu Mandanna
One of my favorite books of the year. It’s an addictive, witty, and engaging story with a cast of fantastic and eccentric characters: a smart and funny witch hired to teach magic to three adorable and funny young witches, the grumpy and handsome librarian who would do anything to protect them, the energetic retired actor who comes up with the most absurd plans and his more considerate husband, and the caring housekeeper who takes care of them all. There is magic, there is romance, there is found family and it has all the perfect fall vibes. I can’t recommend it enough! ~ Noemi

paranormal romantic comedies to read this fall
Wicked Ugly Bad by Cassandra Gannon
The fairy tale retelling obsession has mainly passed me by, I see yet another reimagining of Beauty and the Beast and I switch off. However, Cassandra Gannon managed to sneak in, and now I am addicted. I love her comedic but thoughtful take on fairy tales and what it means to be Good and what it means to be Bad. In the first instalment of the series we meld together Red Riding Hood and Cinderella when one of the ugly step-sisters gets thrown into prison with the Big Bad Wolf. It’s a delightful, easy to read tale that will leave you with a big smile on your face and have you reaching for the next book in the series.

gothic romances to read this fall
Nightshade by Keri Lake
Nightshade is book 1 in the Nightshade Duology. Both books are out and available on Kindle Unlimited! This was such a treat to read. If you’re a fan of old school paranormal romance but with a darker edge you’ll love this series. Half demon/half angel with a sex dungeon, an epic love story that survived a century and historical religious fascism. Keri Lake is one of the best at writing dark, forbidden love stories and a must read if you’re looking for some gothic romance this Fall season.

Young Adult Books to Read this Fall
From a good young adult fantasy to a magical realism, the YA genre is overflowing with the perfect Fall books. There’s witches, there’s vampires and everything in between.
The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin
The Nature of Witches is an immersive and compulsive contemporary fantasy novel in which witches and non-magic humans (who are called shaders) cohabit together in a world where the witches control the climate and the weather, keeping everything steady and calm. Every witch is tied to one of the four seasons which is when they are stronger and more powerful, but, among them, there is one witch who is more powerful than the others, an Everwitch: they are tied to all four seasons and when the season changes, so do they.
