A review by bffbookclubbritt
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, by Sangu Mandanna
4.0
My expectations were set pretty high when I saw this described as Practical Magic meets The House in the Cerulean Sea - and it did not disappoint! This cozy little book truly was so very good.
Mika Moon has been taught to hide her witchy powers from the world and to stay away from other witches lest the magic become too strong. But the offer she gets to teach 3 young witches to control their power comes just at the right time, and so off she heads to break all the rules she’s been living by. She has mere weeks to get these young witches in shape before they could be taken away from their family - an archaeologist, a retired actor, 2 caretakers, and the grumpy handsome librarian (SWOON).
This was so cute and cozy. I loved Mika and her relationship with the girls! I would have loved just a liiiiiittle more chemistry between her and the librarian! And the stakes didn’t seem very high for the main conflict, but that’s just me being picky. I truly loved this book!
4.25 magical stars!
