Historical fiction with a touch of magic!īasic Witches: How to Summon Success, Banish Drama, and Raise Hell with Your Coven by Jaya Saxena and Jess Zimmerman (September 12)įor those of you looking for non-fiction witchy books, you’re in luck! A rather fun one is coming out this season, thanks to Jaya Saxena and Jess Zimmerman, authors of Basic Witches. “Five generations of witches fight the battles of their time, deciding how far they are willing to go to protect their family, their heritage, and ultimately, all of our futures.” Magic seems to have died with the matron, gives her life to save her tribe, but when her granddaughter steps into the circle magic flows once more.

Grandmére Ursule’s family continued to practice the spells and rites of the Old Faith after her death. This one’s a multi-generational story spanning from early 19th century Brittany (a cultural region in the north-west of France–I looked it up) to London during WWII. This discovery sets in motion a series of events that will shape each sibling’s future, and end in midnight margaritas (kidding!).Ī Secret History of Witches by Louisa Morgan (September 5) When the Owens kids visit their Aunt Isabelle in the small Massachusetts town where the family has a reputation, the skeletons come out of the closet and they begin to understand who or what they really are. Rebellious Franny, shy Jet, and charismatic Vincent don’t know why their mother is so strict about such unconventional things, but they know they’re different. In the 1960s, three Owens children live in New York under an odd set of rules: no walking in the moonlight, no wearing black, no cats, and absolutely no books about magic. In this prequel, we get to revisit the Owens family (the Practical Magic aunts!) and the enduring consequences of the curse that began in 1620. Practical Magic was everything I wanted in a witchy book about sisterhood. I didn’t see this one coming, but I’m delighted by its existence. Okay, so we had a sequel, now let’s talk prequel. The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman (October 10) If you haven’t read the first book in the series, pick up Akata Witch today.
