Witchy/Ghost Reads for October

If you’re looking for some witchy/ghost RomCom Reads for October, look no further. Here are some suggestions:

Sophie Kinsella’s Twenties Girl

another ghost read for October: Twenties Girl book cover with a miniature dog dressed as a ghost

This one is one of my favorite Sophie Kinsella books, with some definite laugh-out-loud moments, a ghost and a mystery, so check this out.

When Great-Aunt Sadie–a feisty demanding ghost–visits Lara, she has just one request: find her missing necklace. Suddenly Lara is on the hunt, and if she also happens to meet a guy she likes, but he wonders why she keeps talking to herself. . .

The Ex Hex

The Ex Hex

The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling is a second-chance witchy romance. Vivienne Woods recovers from heartbreak just like any other woman, but maybe when she curses her ex, it has a bit more power than she expects. And now he’s back. . . Super fun read.

Payback’s A Witch

witchy read for October: the cover of Payback's a Witch

In Payback’s A Witch by Lana Harper, four witchy families rule the magical town of Thistle Grove. Emmy is from the least powerful family and, as a result, has left this town and magic to make her way in the outside world. But she returns home to fulfill her family duty in a spellcasting tournament. Where she runs into the guy who broke her heart, her best friend, and Talia–the one who seemed unattainable. This was another fun one. Talia was witchy perfection (definite book girlfriend vibes), and the world-building was fantastic.

The Dead Romantics

The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston involves a ghost and grief, so it has less of a romantic comedy vibe. But I love writer romances, and this one involves a ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance writers in the industry–only she doesn’t believe in love anymore and can’t write. Her way-too-attractive new editor won’t give her a deadline extension, so what is she going to do?

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

This is more romance/women’s fiction about finding a family than a romantic comedy but it’s still a very enjoyable read. And great world-building and twists 🙂 I definitely teared up at the end.

Let’s Talk

I have to say that I wanted to yell at both the heroines in Payback’s A Witch and The Dead Romantics that they shouldn’t have let so much time go by from when they left their small town. Their back stories made me so sad.

Anyway, in exciting news, Caper Crush was at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Here it is at the IBPA booth.
