I highly recommend Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. It’s a dark, gothic, detailed, funny, long, Southern, adventurous, and magical Fantasy story. In this series, the female characters are not called witches. They are known as Casters.
Discovery of Witches Trilogy, any of Paula Brackston’s novels, Practical Magic, The Witching Hour, Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, Hex, The Bone Witch, Uprooted, Wicked, Akata Witch, Daughters of the Witching Hill, Dresden series.
Love the Discovery Trilogy! Also, The Rules Of Magic which is the prequel for Practical Magic, The Witch‘s Kiss Trilogy, Nora Roberts Dark Witch Trilogy, Strange Magic and Strange Sight by Syd Moore, The Witching Hour by Anne Rice, The Witches Of Eastwick by John Updike, Witchborn by Nicholas Bowling
Nothing much to add to all of these suggestions! Good stuff! I really liked the Discovery of Witches trilogy, and have read Practical Magic, Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, Nora Roberts’ O’Dwyer Cousins trilogy, and The Witching Hour. I would recommend any of these. Oh, and two more Nora Roberts trilogies, Three Sisters Island and The Guardians.
Goddesses for Every Day by Julie Loar, Encyclopedia of Spirits by Judika Illes, Power of the Witch by Laurie Cabot, Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham, The Spiral Dance by Starhawk, Spellbound: Women and Witchcraft in America by Elizabeth Reis.
I was incredibly disappointed with The Discovery of Witches (if you like Twilight, you’ll probably like it) and the Beautiful Creatures series (I thought the movie did a way better job of the first book).
If you’re looking for non-fic, The Witches: Salem, 1692 by Stacy Schiff is fantastic, though a bit scholarly and very in-depth. Anything by Judika Illes is fabulous. Buckland and Cunningham are pretty friendly to all types.
For fiction, A Secret History of Witches by Louisa Morgan and The Witches of New York by Ami McKay were pretty good (and newer).
Yes a very good trilogy. She also has a couple other witches trilogy. Three sisters Island trilogy and blood witch trilogy. There’s also blood brothers and dance of the gods.
The Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. It’s a very complex series about a magical elite, subjugated and underestimated. It also talks about how people beliefs could be change and how easy is to manipulate the masses giving them the sparkle of a false faith.
My favorite witchy series is Circle of three by Isobel Bird , has about 15 books but they are all easy reads. It’s a lot more realistic when it comes to paganism and wicca. They are out of print so you would have to get either an ebook or find a used copy on ebay, they are usually under $6 each.
Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe, White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi, Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson, When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore, The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike, The Graces by Laure Eve, The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden…..i also second the books of Alice Hoffman, especially Practical Magic and The Rules of Magic, and will add the books of Sarah Addison Allen, whose heroines tend to have a witchiness about them. i almost forgot! The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton!
Thank you everyone for all the Suggestions!! I’ve read a few of the books and series you’ve suggested but many I haven’t, my tbr list just got a lot longer ???
I liked it and I need to read others in series. It was suspense and mysterious. There are witches, warlocks, guardian and demons. It is not romance, only fantasy mystery
The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness
Well I’m read witch and wizard, it’s a 5 book series by James patterson… it’s a super easy read but really good!
I highly recommend Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. It’s a dark, gothic, detailed, funny, long, Southern, adventurous, and magical Fantasy story. In this series, the female characters are not called witches. They are known as Casters.
