The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
Book Feature - The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
HBL Note: This is a debut novel of sorts. Although Sangu Mandanna is not new to writing books, this is her first novel for adults. It is the perfect feel-good book that will give you all the hygge feelings as the days get shorter and the air a bit more crisp. In this grumpy-meets-sunshine romance described as The House in the Cerulean Sea meets Practical Magic (one of my favorite books/movies about witches), Mika Moon learns about the power of found family when she abandons all the rules she sets for herself and interacts with other witches, teaching them how to control their powers.

From the publisher:
As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she’s used to being alone and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos "pretending" to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.
But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and…Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he’s concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat.
As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when peril comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn’t know she was looking for....
