Ooh baby Fall reading is fully in swing over here. I have been on a roll picking books that are BRINGING the vibes.
I’ve always loved a light paranormal romance/rom-com and I’ve loved the influx particularly of witchy rom-coms and romances that have come out ever since the popularity of books like The Ex Hex and Payback’s A Witch.
I’ve noticed that each year I’ve added more and more witchy rom-coms to my personal Fall reading list and they are the perfect type of reads for the season combining cozier witchy things, romance and a lot of times a fantastic setting that adds to that autumnal feeling.
A nice balance to the dark fantasy and horror I tend to gravitate to in the Fall especially once October hits.
This year looks to be my biggest add of romances/rom-coms with witches at the center so let’s take a look what new offerings are coming out this year if you are looking to add some to your Fall reading list.
One thing I will add is that this year I’ve seen an uptick in witchy Christmas romances which I’m also super excited about that I will have some to carry over into my wintry reading plans!

Season of the Witch by Sophie H. Morgan
Read it if you want: a witchy romcom with more of a wintry vibe than a Fall one
This is the third book in the Toil and Trouble season though I believe it technically could be read as a standalone though you’ll miss out on the world and the dynamics.
Two exes, after the merging of their family businesses, must work together and fake being a couple on a holiday getaway to secure an important investment. Plenty of past feelings could complicate the ploy but the real kicker is a spell gone a lilttle awry that has erased Henry’s memories of Tia.

Hot Hex Boyfriend by Carly Bloom
Read it if you want: a light-hearted witchy rom-com, quirky family shenanigans, cozy small town feels
Delia’s family has always claimed that the woman in the family are witches but a hex took away all their powers. She might have believed it as a child but as and adult she think it — and their belief that she’s an especially powerful witch — is just a tall tale.
When Delia breaks the curse without even realizing it, this isn’t just a surprise to her but to the hot temporary neighbor who has been keeping an eye on the family to make sure the hex HIS family put on hers isn’t broken.
Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood

Hex & Hexability by Kate Johnson
Read it if you want: something with Bridgerton vibes but make it witchy
This one feels like it’s for all the Eloise Bridgerton girlies.
It’s about a young woman who is not all about that Society life — she cares little about getting married and wants a life outside of the Ton. With the arrival of a mysterious aunt, certain aspects of her life start to make sense when she finds out that she’s actually a witch. This knowledge introduces her to a magical side of London she never knew and a duke who is just as much as an outsider as her.
P.S. The other two witchy romance reads from this author are on Kindle Unlimited.
A Spell For Heartsickness by Alistair Reeves
Read it if you want: a MM witchy romance with some spice (and on Kindle Unlimited!)
An aspiring fashion designer knows he is destined to a cursed early death like his mother but is determined to make a name for himself before the inevitable happens. That dream seems to take a detour when the placement he was hoping to get in the city, thanks to a prophecy, sends him to an unwelcoming small town in search of his destiny instead — a destiny with no easy answers with two enchanting men as contenders and magical forest that could be related to his curse.
Truly Madly Magically by Hazel Beck
Read it if you want: a Stars Hollow-esque small town and a second chance romance
Another one that I’m going to say technically COULD be read as a standalone but I think there’s too much overlap from book to book to make it the best reading experience. The first two books in the Witchlore series are on Kindle Unlimited and a fourth will be out NEXT Fall so get caught up!!
This one, not shockingly with how the last book set up, focuses on Ellowyn and Zander and their tumultuous relationship as they need to work together to face attacks targeting Ellowyn from the Joywood coven and their own coven preparing for Ascension.
De-Witched by Sophie H. Morgan
Read it if you want: a grumpy/sunshine romance between a warlock on a mission and a human who isn’t supposed to know him/witches exist
