Ultimate List of 10 Witch Fiction Books to Read this Autumn

10 Magical Witch Fiction Books to Read this Autumn Season

1. “Practical Magic” by Alice Hoffman

Starting with this classic and no list of witch fiction would be complete without it. Alice Hoffman’s timeless Practical Magic. This enchanting novel tells the story of the Owens sisters, Gillian and Sally, who come from a long line of witches but struggle with the family curse that brings tragedy to anyone they fall in love with. Hoffman’s lyrical prose weaves together themes of love, loss, and magic in a way that feels both mystical and deeply human.

If you’re in the mood for something that combines family drama with a touch of whimsy, this is the book for you. Plus, if you somehow haven’t already seen it, once you’re done with the book (or before lo), you can treat yourself to the absolutely perfect 1998 film adaptation starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.

2. “Cackle” by Rachel Harrison

This one is so very cute! I thoroughly enjoyed it this one and it’s perfect for the fall. Cackle is so charming and witty and it blends humour, witchcraft, and female empowerment just perfectly. The story follows Annie, a recently heartbroken woman who moves to a small, picturesque town in search of a fresh start. There, she befriends the enchanting and mysterious Sophie, whose unconventional lifestyle and seemingly magical abilities open Annie’s eyes to the power of embracing her independence.

With its delightful mix of dark humour (favourite of mine!), friendship, and a basket full of magic, Cackle is an uplifting tale about self-discovery, reclaiming your power, and finding strength in the unexpected. This one really teaches a wonderful life lesson.

3. “The Secret Society of Irregular Witches” by Sangu Mandanna

This one is such fun! I really loved it and can’t wait for the author’s next release. The Secret Society of Irregular Witches is an incredibly heartwarming and magical tale about belonging and the power of the family you find and make for yourself. The story features Mika Moon, a lonely witch who is used to hiding her magic to fit into a world that doesn’t accept witches. Until she’s invited to a mysterious house filled with eccentric soulful residents, including three young witches in need of Mila’s guidance.

So charming and with a delightful sense of whimsy, this uplifting novel weaves together themes of love, acceptance, and the magic that comes from embracing who you truly are just perfectly. A heartwarming and entertaining read.

4. “A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon” by Sarah Hawley

I love me a good fiction book like this one! A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon is a delightful and quirky romantic comedy with a magical twist. It follows Mariel Spark, a witch whose accidental summoning of a demon, Ozroth the Ruthless, leads to an unexpected and classic rom com style arrangement—pretending to date to avoid a soul-binding deal.

Filled with humour, chemistry, and enchanting world-building, the book is a fun and lighthearted adventure through a world of witches and demons. With its quick banter and heartwarming moments, this is a fun story about love, self-discovery, and embracing your own inner power.

5. “Fever Book Series” by Karen Marie Moning

I flew through this series. It’s so good! The Fever series by is an intense and thrilling urban fantasy filled with dark magic, steamy romance, gripping suspense, and excellent characters that you can’t help but love. Set in a beautifully imagined world where the veil between humans and the Fae is dangerously thin, the series follows MacKayla Lane, an ordinary woman whose quest to solve her sister’s murder draws her into a shadowy realm of ancient feuds and deadly secrets.

With powerful action sequences, and complex characters, the Fever series is an absolutely addictive combination of mystery, danger, and lots of passion that keeps readers hooked from start to finish. I read this series three times at this point lol.

Time for a Nora Roberts Spotlight (because I love her magical works so much!)

6. “The Cousins O’DwyerTrilogy”  by Nora Roberts

This is another one I have read three times and I just love it! The Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy by Nora Roberts is a captivating blend of romance, magic, and Irish folklore (a perfect trio!). Set in the lush, enchanting landscapes of Ireland, the trilogy follows the O’Dwyer cousins—Branna, Connor, and Iona—who inherit ancient powers and must unite to battle a centuries-old evil threatening their family.

With its richly atmospheric setting, deeply rooted magical heritage, and heartfelt relationships, the series offers a perfect mix of fantasy and romance. Nora Roberts weaves together magic, love, friendship, and strong family connections in this enchanting tale, making it a spellbinding must read for fans of magical adventures. Probably my absolute favourite of her magical trilogies that I have read.

7. “Three Sisters Island Trilogy” by Nora Roberts

The Three Sisters Island Trilogy’s the first magical trilogy by Nora Roberts that I had read and I was hooked lol. Another series I have read multiple times. It is a mesmerizing  tale of love, magic, and destiny. Set on the mystical Three Sisters Island, the books follow three women—Nell, Ripley, and Mia—who must embrace their inherited witchcraft and confront a powerful curse threatening their home and their hearts. Each book focuses on one of the woman and the challenges she must overcome.

With its gorgeous coastal setting, endearing cast of characters, and a perfect balance of romance and magical adventure, this trilogy is a captivating journey of empowerment, friendship, and finding the strength to face your past. It’s so perfect.

8. “The Key Trilogy” by Nora Roberts

This one was recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed. The Key Trilogy  is an exciting and magical blend of adventure, romance, and mythology. The series follows three women (as Nora loves to do lol)—Mallory, Dana, and Zoe—who are chosen by fate to embark on a quest to find three ancient keys that will unlock the souls of lost goddesses. With their friendship growing stronger and their hearts opening to love, each woman faces personal challenges while battling dark forces.

Filled with suspense, mystical elements, and of course some romance, this trilogy is an uplifting journey of courage, destiny, love, the power of friendship, and believing in yourself.

9. “The Witch’s Daughter” by Paula Brackston

This one came highly recommended which is why I picked it up and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The book was published about 15 years ago but it is relatively new to me lol. Not sure how I hadn’t come across it before just a couple of years ago. The Witch’s Daughter by  is a spellbinding and immersive tale that weaves together history, magic, and timeless themes of love and survival. The novel follows Elizabeth Hawksmith, a 300-year-old witch who has lived through centuries of adventure, heartache, and danger. As she recounts her journey—from 17th-century England to the present day—she confronts her dark past and a dangerous warlock who still hunts her.

Brackston’s unique storytelling and vivid historical detail create a captivating atmosphere, making this novel a perfect read for fans of witchcraft, history, and enduring personal transformation.I will definitely be picking up some of the authors other witchy works.

10. “The Once and Future Witches” by Alix E. Harlow

This is the only book I decided to put on the list that I haven’t actually read because of all the praise it has received and it is on my shelf waiting to be read this autumn. So the story follows Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna—as they reunite to bring back witchcraft and fight for women’s rights during the suffrage movement.

The beautifully built world and themes of sisterhood bonds, resilience, and empowerment seemingly makes this one a must read for witches who love some fiction in their lives. People have really fallen in love with the story and characters here which is why it is on my list for the season. Perhaps we can read it together and compare notes!
