Simply Bewitching: The Best Fiction Books About Witches, Magic & Romance

What happens when you combine a modern witch who’s sworn off love and an old-fashioned guy with bad luck and a family feud? Witch Please. Sparks fly in book one of the Fix-It-Witches series that is Practical Magic meets Gilmore Girls, and a perfectly timed light and airy paranormal rom-com. Ann Aguirre just gets romance, and her follow-up, Boss Witch, follows a calculating witch who meets a witch hunter, sure to be your most enjoyable enemies-to-lovers read of the spring and summer, and of course … Halloween. 

How many times have we wished we could cast a revenge spell on the person who broke our heart? Breakups are tough, Vivienne Jones is tougher, and after heartbreak leaves her with no good way to cope, she resorts to an innocent little hex on her ex to make him feel the way she feels. Except, when murderous toys, a talking cat (the horror!) and other unexpected events begin taking place in the town of Graves Glen, it turns out her hex will have big consequences. If you enjoyed mere muggle romances such as Get A Life Chloe Brown and The Hating Game, add this to your TBR! 

Jessica Clare knows her way around “the other world” when it comes to romance. She combines paranormal and sexy romances in Go Hex Yourself. Let’s just hope HR doesn’t get wind of this workplace romance of the dark arts! 

Grab your tea and get those pinkies up. With a pinch of magic, the best-behaved witches in all of England are here to show us the proper way to make the world a better place, unlike those thieves from the Wisteria Society. Enter the League of Gentlewomen Witches. All’s fair in love and thievery and there may be more stolen than just the amulet of Black Beryl in the second book of the Dangerous Damsels series. 

When Violet Maxwell and Lincoln Thorne decide to buy themselves some time to find their real love matches by plotting a fake relationship, true feelings and magic threaten to put an end to their happily ever after.  And if there’s one thing we can’t get enough of, it’s a fake dating trope! Not the Witch You Wed is perfect for fans of Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey and Well Met by Jen DeLuca. Hopefully this list will tie you over until the second book in the series, Not Your Ex’s Hexes, is released in early 2023.
