The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna, 318 pages

Mika Moon is a witch, and loves her magical abilities. What she doesn't love is the loneliness that comes with being a witch. Because it's common knowledge (among the handful of witches that live across Britain, anyway) that too many witches together for too long makes big magic happen and that almost always draws negative attention from non-witchy people. So when Mika is invited to move into a remote house and be a magical tutor three young witches who are being raised by normal folks, Mika is equal parts wary and intrigued.

This is a magical warm hug, much like T.J. Klune's lovely House in the Cerulean Sea. I love the witches, I love the non-witchy people they live with, and I really love Mika's distinction between "nice" and "kind." This is the very definition of a comfort read.
