Summary
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。
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 a threat 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。。。。

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches was the perfect cozy tale of witches， magic and love。 This was a wholesome and romantic fantasy about a witch， Mika Moon， who is trying to find her place in a world that has not treated her kindly so far and out of nowhere she is invited to work as a tutor to three young witches at a place called Nowhere House。 When she arrives she is introduced to an assortment of characters that include the three young witches， a missing witch who owns the house， a The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches was the perfect cozy tale of witches， magic and love。 This was a wholesome and romantic fantasy about a witch， Mika Moon， who is trying to find her place in a world that has not treated her kindly so far and out of nowhere she is invited to work as a tutor to three young witches at a place called Nowhere House。 When she arrives she is introduced to an assortment of characters that include the three young witches， a missing witch who owns the house， a grumpy librarian， a retired actor， a housekeeper and a gardener。 She is instantly blown away by how much love and magic is inside this house and the family that lives there。 As she teaches the young witches she starts to fall in love with not only them but with everyone who lives in Nowhere House。 This magical book was so cozy that it felt the author was just giving me a warm hug while I was reading her book。 I absolutely loved the main character Mika Moon who is super lovable and has such a great sense of humor。 I love that her gift is potion making or tea making， she has an adorable dog， and her traveling koi pond。 It really gave me House in the Cerulean Sea vibes with the charming characters， found family trope， and grumpy/sunshine main couple。 I love that the characters are so diverse and that there is LGBTQ+ representation and that that author touches on issues that are still being dealt with in today’s society when it comes to the shaming of certain groups。 I found this heartwarming story to be such a fast read that was super satisfying and well written。 My favorite parts of this book had to be the many great quirky characters， delightful humor and a wonderfully slow burn romance that was the perfect amount of sweet and steamy。 Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing for the digital copy of this book。 I would highly recommend this book if you’re a fan of Practical Magic and House in the Cerulean Sea 。 。。。more

3。5✨This was an absolutely adorable book。 The characters were so loveable and I love all things witchy！I absolutely do see what everyone means about Cerulean vibes。 I could see the like-for-like scenes as I went through， which I think is why I couldn’t rate it higher。As I was just thinking about Cerulean and never fully immersed into this。 However， I am the biggest Cerulean fan girl and have read it so much。Overall， a wonderful book and definitely one I’d recommend。 There was a little steam whic 3。5✨This was an absolutely adorable book。 The characters were so loveable and I love all things witchy！I absolutely do see what everyone means about Cerulean vibes。 I could see the like-for-like scenes as I went through， which I think is why I couldn’t rate it higher。As I was just thinking about Cerulean and never fully immersed into this。 However， I am the biggest Cerulean fan girl and have read it so much。Overall， a wonderful book and definitely one I’d recommend。 There was a little steam which I wasn’t expecting but definitely not a bad thing at all！ 。。。more

OKAY THIS IS ONE OF MY TOP FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2022！！Like I've repeatedly said， please please please drop everything， call in sick from work， forget the dishes in your sink， and read this book。 I'm begging you。I've never read anything by this author， but the first sentence had me hooked。 Her writing style can only be described as deliciously whimsical。 Every word drew me into the story further。 The descriptions of Nowhere House especially made me feel like I was actually there。 I loved all the PO OKAY THIS IS ONE OF MY TOP FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2022！！Like I've repeatedly said， please please please drop everything， call in sick from work， forget the dishes in your sink， and read this book。 I'm begging you。I've never read anything by this author， but the first sentence had me hooked。 Her writing style can only be described as deliciously whimsical。 Every word drew me into the story further。 The descriptions of Nowhere House especially made me feel like I was actually there。 I loved all the POVs we got。 They were unique and fit each character so perfectly。 Her way with words and explaining emotions and trauma was perfect。 But I think my favourite part of this book was the discussion on the difference between being nice and being kind。 It just makes SO MUCH SENSE。 I don't always read a book and leave with a lesson that I can apply to my daily life， but this is one of those moments。 I'm going to quote this because it's necessary and I need everyone to see how life changing this specific part of the book is:Niceness is good manners， and stopping to give someone directions， and smiling at the overworked cashier at the supermarket。 These are all good things， but they have nothing to do with what's underneath。 Niceness is all about what we do when other people are looking。 Kindness， on the other hand， runs deep。 Kindness is what happens when no one's looking。 ANDA lot of nice people stop being nice when they don't get exactly what they want。 This book focuses a lot on childhood trauma， on what it is like growing up knowing you have to change and adapt yourself to fit those around you。 It touches on feeling unlovable， like everyone around you will eventually leave you behind and move on。 The guarding and suspicion and second-guessing when someone shows they care about you， no strings attached。 It mentions the hurt and betrayal， and feeling like you'll never leave a mark on the world。 This book made me so emotional because of how much I relate to all of this。 At one point， Jamie realizes that even though Mika has magic–the one thing she loves and is such an important part of her–all she craves for is people who will understand and accept her and love her for being herself。This book is about found family。 It's about how trauma can manifest in different ways as you grow older。 How trauma can prevent you from creating the kind of life you crave because you've been hurt so many times you're afraid to trust again。 It's about creating families that are there for each other， even though they're not related。 It's about being accepting and present and having an open ear and heart。 It's about love of all kinds， not just romantic。 This book is beautiful and wholesome and perfect in everyway， and I wanted to cry so many times while reading this because it felt like a stab to the heart （but in a good way）。 I still feel like I'm learning about how my trauma manifests in my day to day life and relationships， and sometimes a book like this one is a good reminder to sit back and think about these things instead of letting them gather cobwebs in the back of your mind。The whole cast of characters are truly loveable。 The children are adorable。 Terracotta being my favourite because she's super protective of her family and also loves murder。 A great combination in my opinion。 But Jamie。 Oh Jamie。I have a soft spot for the grumpy/sunshine trope when it comes to romance。 And boy does this book deliver。 Y'all will fall in love with Jamie and want to hug him a thousand times （which he would hate）。 He's the perfect grump， and as Mika calls him， "a cantankerous old man" at heart。 I love how much he loves the children and how protective he is of them。 But he's also so kind underneath the mask he wears。 The romance between him and Mika had the perfect build-up。 There were so many good squeal-worthy， and oh-my-gosh moments。 The one in the Broomstick when he gives her his coat was an especially good one。 Also the scene before that with Primrose and Mika having tea。 Just sjfskdjfsklfjdsklfjdsklfjdskjskdfjlksjfThis book will make you laugh-out-loud so many times。 It's heartwarming and funny， and very soft and cute， and surprising too。 Also Mika。 Can I just say I love her so much I would die for her？！！ Her love of potions and tea and her dream of opening a tea and potion shop like fshkfjdskjfs。 I geeked out a lot whenever we got a glimpse of her brewing potions and gathering plants and herbs。 She's such a good and kind person。 Her interactions with Jamie were gold and I love them together so much sdfsdkjf。Anyway， I will stop gushing and let everyone read this book and thoroughly enjoy it。 I'm honestly planning to buy a copy soon because there is no way I can't have the physical book in my hands。 There are too many good and relatable quotes， that are also painful， but it's fine because this book is too good and I'm so glad I picked it up！！（Also， for those of you who've read The House in the Cerulean Sea， but want to support an author and book that doesn't build a story off of Indigenous intergenerational trauma， plus has a diverse cast of characters， then this book is for you。 So please pick it up and yell about it because Sangu deserves the world。） 。。。more

I absolutely loved this book。 It made me feel like a young teen again when I was really interested in witchy romance and to make me feel like that I had to give this book a 5/5。 I loved the adult and children characters and think they were all adorable。 I loved how they all in their own broken ways come together to be a family and just how close they are to one another。 The twists at the end just kept coming and I honestly did not see them coming so I was really happy to see that from a book 。Th I absolutely loved this book。 It made me feel like a young teen again when I was really interested in witchy romance and to make me feel like that I had to give this book a 5/5。 I loved the adult and children characters and think they were all adorable。 I loved how they all in their own broken ways come together to be a family and just how close they are to one another。 The twists at the end just kept coming and I honestly did not see them coming so I was really happy to see that from a book 。This book is full of love， family， friendship and lots of laughs and would highly recommend。 。。。more

‘The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches’ plot has been pitched as Practical Magic meets the House on the Cerulean Sea。 I can wholeheartedly say this is not far from the truth and you should read this if you are looking for the following in one cosy package: - grumpy/sunshine romantic trope- witches who conjure spells and brew potions- found family- diverse and charming characters- low stakes - a warm hug of a book！
