The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches: the heartwarming and uplifting magical romance

Product Information

Why did the story have to get over so soon? There's no cliffhanger but I demand a sequel ASAP! I want to know what happens about a certain something that has been in existence since hundreds of years. Will Mika be able to modify/overthrow it? 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. Thirty-one year old Mika Moon has lived a life of solitude. As a witch, she knows that she cannot let the dangerous world know about her magical abilities. With no family or friends, lonely Mika resorts to posting “fake” witchy videos to an online account, just so that she can talk about her favourite topic – magic. She is sure no one will notice. She is wrong. Ken, bald, Japanese, a man who is kind and nice at the same time, in his 70’s, creating magic in garden. The story is written in third person following Mika's POV, but there were also some parts that followed Jamie, the librarian.

And Mika sums up this feeling pretty well, not only with her inner monologue but also in how cautious she is in opening herself to other people and to love. Especially the latter. Mandanna crafts a cast of winningly quirky characters, each with their own part to play in Mika’s path to belonging… This charming romantic fantasy is a gem.” — Publishers Weekly(starred review) United by Pop - Sangu Mandanna On Her Bewitching New Rom-Com, The Very Secret Society Of Irregular Witches by Kate OldfieldJamie, Irish charm, in mid-thirties, graduated from Cambridge, brooding, introvert librarian who is not happy about Mika’s arrival. this is a magic book, in that it is about magic, but also in that it granted me a wish: this is what i wanted the house on the cerulean sea to be. mixed with eva ibbotson.

I think the author pictured small circle (of people) vibes so well. It was so easy to get attached to all of the characters, main and the side ones. Holiday scenes in the story were like a warm hug from the author and her characters to us readers, that I appreciate the most. Special thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions. Read the free bonus epilogue (Major spoilers for the book included, so please only read it after you’ve read the book!) I already mentioned ball of fire, sarcastic, energetic, vivid Ian, who is Ken’s husband, living in a cottage next to Nowhere house.The owner of the Nowhere House is archeologist Lilian Nowhere who is busy, buried her head in her secret projects, adopted those girls but she doesn’t have time to take care of them or teach them how they control their powers. Yes, Lillian is a witch just like the girls!

Mika Moon was raised by strangers after her parents’ death when she was little. She spent most of her time alone and never felt part of a family. Now an adult, she is a witch who makes her own videos pretending to be a witch - are you still with me? Ian Kubo-Hawthorn has seen one of her videos and unlike others who think they are watching someone pretend to be a witch, he knows what he is seeing- a true witch! He sends her a message asking her to come to Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic.This novel nails the ‘found family’ trope. With such loveable yet quirky characters, the journey was anyway going to be exciting, but the way the author brought out the feeling of oneness amid these disparate individuals was just beautiful. None of the characters feel unidimensional. This book was just adorable. It was relaxing, witchy story that talked about family, friends and love, and what is the most important, the relationship one has with themselves.
