★Tinja★✮  | 7 comments Hi guys!:) I'm looking for good books that have withes in it. I've already read so many books about vampires and demons and other stuff but not so much about witches. I'd also love to have some romance included!:)

Lee (you-gotta-love-books) | 17 comments Hi! There's a lot of Witch books (Let's just face it mainly most Witch books)That contain not just Witches but all other types of Supernaturals as well, so sorry but i have to include these anyway :D. These have the main character as being a witch and contain some romance so enjoy XD -

Dead Witch Walking (The Hollows, #1) by Kim Harrison Dead Witch Walking Haven't actually read this one yet but it sounds pretty good and is on my To-Read shelf ;)

Bewitching the Werewolf by Caroline Hanson Bewitching the Werewolf This is an extremely short book (More like a story) but it was okay. She's a witch who works for like this supernatural dating agency and there's an Alpha werewolf that can't choose a mate ...

Drive Me Wild (The Others, #7) by Christine Warren Drive Me Wild I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH! (Probably should have put it first but oh well :P) Tess Menzies is a witch and Rafael De Santos is a were-jaguar. It can be really funny and its defo worth reading!

Grave Witch (Alex Craft, #1) by Kalayna Price Grave Witch Again one i haven't read but it does sound pretty cool and i will read it eventually. (I have a lonnnng To-Read list :D)

Shadow of the Wolf (Heart's Desire, #1) by Dana Marie Bell Shadow of the Wolf Really REALLY like this one. Its got Lana Evans a Witch and Christopher Beckett whose a Werewolf and its full of humor which i just can't resist!

Im not exactly sure if in these one she is a witch or not but it sounds interesting and has magic in it (One is just, like, magic and the other one is kinda Elemental control-ish) so maybe you wanna give it a try? -

Magic to the Bone (Allie Beckstrom, #1) by Devon Monk Magic to the Bone Haven't gotten 'round to reading this one yet (See To-Read shelf description above) But i liked the sound of it enough to add it anyway.

Playing with Fire (Tales of an Extraordinary Girl, #1) by Gena Showalter Playing with Fire I love this one, just in case you wanted to know :D Some scientist-type person slipped something into her Moche Latte when he was on the run and now she can control the elements. Add yummy Rome and an awesome side-kick and you have yourself one awesome book ;)



And thats it for now, might edit later. Hope you enjoy at least Some of them XD

Paganalexandria  | 238 comments Best books featuring witches of all time are Anne Rice's The Witching Hour (Lives of the Mayfair Witches, #1) by Anne Rice Lasher (Lives of the Mayfair Witches, #2) by Anne Rice Taltos (Lives of the Mayfair Witches, #3) by Anne Rice

Megan (megandurrence) | 78 comments I can always go for a witch book, they're so hard to find! I'll have to check these suggestions out!

The witchy books I've read are
Book of Shadows (Sweep, #1) by Cate Tiernan My favorite book with witches. It's the most accurate that I've found!
Something Witchy This Way Comes (Something Witchy, #1) by Veronica Blade A really great book! The romance is intense and I was hooked instantly.
Once a Witch (Witch, #1) by Carolyn MacCullough It's best when you read both books in this series to get the full "witch" effect.
The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater Not exactly witches, but still has psychics and magic.
Craved (Gwen Sparks, #1) by Stephanie Nelson Not all witchy. Still really good!
Rest For The Wicked (The Claire Wiche Chronicles, #1) by Cate Dean She owns a wiccan shop.
Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1) by Rachel Hawkins YA, but I loved the characters in this one
Balefire (Balefire, #1-4) by Cate Tiernan Same author as the first I mentioned, and just as accurate!

Hope you find a good one! Let me know if you find a witch book that's actually about witchy-type things! I'd love to read it!

Shelby | 73 comments Shifting Shadows (Sparks Collide, #1) by Amanda Kelly was a good book. It has some witch in it but other than that it's mostly shifters.

I also agree with the Something Witchy This Way Comes (Something Witchy, #1) by Veronica Blade , Craved (Gwen Sparks, #1) by Stephanie Nelson , and Book of Shadows (Sweep, #1) by Cate Tiernan recommendations! All really good books (:

If you want something "lite" then Annette Blair has 2 interconnecting trilogies about them. The Kitchen Witch is book 1 in the first trilogy. And you do need to read them in the correct order, since each of them builds on what occurred before.

I also approve of many of the books that have already been suggested. And while you didn't specifically ASK for wizards, the Harry Dresden series is great. Love me that Harry. (He's the only Professional Wizard in Chicago--and you can find his ad in the Yellow Pages there.)


★Tinja★✮  | 7 comments This is great, I've so many books to add to my list now!!:)

Debi (debisattic) | 157 comments Would-Be Witch (Southern Witch, #1) by Kimberly Frost a southern fried series with humor by Kimberly Frost

A spicy series by Anya Bast Elemental Witches
Witch Fire (Elemental Witches, #1) by Anya Bast

Someone mentioned Kim Harrison's books...author is doing a "read along" promo. Books were supposed to be on sale as the read along covers each book. Check out her blog on Goodreads for info.

Dead Witch Walking (The Hollows, #1) by Kim Harrison

So I'm behind as usual (author deadlines) but I can second the Yasmine Galenorn D'Artigo sisters books. I'm behind on that series by about four books but I started with Witchling and kept going from there.

And I JUST finished Joley's story from the Drake Sisters. Interesting use of magic by both hero and heroine and her family.

Thanks for posting this. It's a series I love. How do you feel about the "Sisters of the Heart" add ons?


message 24: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 12 comments Both of my top picks have already been mentioned but I'd definitely reccommend the Hollows series by Kim Harrison, it starts with Dead Witch Walking (The Hollows, #1) by Kim Harrison

I also enjoyed the sweep seies Book of Shadows (Sweep, #1) by Cate Tiernan . It's YA and completely different to Kim Harrison's witchy offering but I enjoyed it. The Wiccan aspect is also quite accurate, as least until they start throwing witch fire ;)

Witch World (entire very long series, set in a parallel world, not all of the books involve witches--we also have griffin's, green men/women, kelpie type horses, Old Ones (basically, alien beingings with god-like powers) wizards, sorceresses, regular humans, priests and priestesses. . .

Charmed & Dangerous (trilogy)


Summon the Keeper While not quite witches, that's the closest analogy I can come up with. This is a trilogy, and has a good bit of humour in it. (One of the books has Snow White show up with the 7 Dwarves--and she's their manager and they are a "little people" basketball team.)

Elizabeth Ann Scarborough has a couple of anthologies that she's edited with witches in them.

I only read the first book in that series, and I found it too slow. Feehan tends to write wordy books anyway, but the Sisters of the Heart series... I think I would have been happier if she'd left the town with the final Drake Sisters book.

I enjoyed the Drake Sisters series, but was stunned that she essentially 'mated' Joley - who doesn't want kids - (view spoiler).

I know Christine Feehan has twelve kids of her own, and comes from a family of fourteen, but this is the 21st, not 17th century!! Not many women see that as a happy ending!


message 28: by Phe (new)

Phe | 22 comments I'll admit that I haven't read many stories with witches, but I have read the first two books in the All Souls trilogy A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1) by Deborah Harkness Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy, #2) by Deborah Harkness which I absolutely loved! The third book The Book of Life (All Souls Trilogy, #3) by Deborah Harkness is due out in July.

J.A. Kenney (jennyakenney) | 38 comments I have a series in progress that is Witch based....my short story will be in another group for a writing contest...and free of course.

An ex-High Priestess Alexandrian Wiccan author...you don't get THAT in a fiction witch book much!


message 32: by Jule (new)

Jule | 15 comments There are lots of books with witches in them, but the best one with the use of witchcraft that i have read is the dresden files.
He uses protection spells, crystals, coloured candles and of course pentagrams to name a few he has realy done his homework!!
There are not many references to the wicca religion which is different to druidism,shammans etc, but alot of references to witchcraft which itself is not a religion.

Haven't read it yet because it's long and I have been saving it for a vacation but it's by Anne Rice who is in my opinion an amazing writer.
