What Are The Top Romance Novels With Witches In 2024?

I've been obsessed with witchy romance novels lately, and 2024 has some absolute gems! 'The Witch's Heart' by Genevieve Gornichec stole my soul with its Norse mythology twist and slow-burn romance. The way Angrboda and Loki’s relationship unfolds had me screaming into my pillow. Another favorite is 'A Discovery of Witches' by Deborah Harkness—yeah, it’s not new, but the recent TV adaptation hype made me reread it, and Matthew and Diana’s chemistry is still *chef’s kiss*. For something lighter, 'The Ex Hex' by Erin Sterling is like a cozy Halloween rom-com with accidental curses and small-town vibes. If you want dark academia vibes, 'The Atlas Six' (okay, more fantasy but the tension is there) and 'The Once and Future Witches' by Alix E. Harrow are perfect for historical witchcraft with feminist undertones. Bonus: 'Half a Soul' by Olivia Atwater mixes Regency romance with whimsical magic—think Bridgerton but with curses and faeries.

As someone who devours paranormal romance like it’s my job, 2024’s witchy romances are next-level. Let’s start with 'The Scarlet Alchemist' by Kylie Lee Baker—it’s a YA historical fantasy with alchemy and necromancy, but the romance between Zilan and the crown prince is deliciously forbidden. Then there’s 'The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches' by Sangu Mandanna, which is pure comfort food: a found family of witches plus a grumpy-sunshine romance that’ll melt your heart.
For darker cravings, 'The Water Witch' by Jessica Thorne is a Celtic mythology-inspired tale with a brooding hero and a witch who controls storms. If you prefer urban fantasy, 'Witch Please' by Ann Aguirre is a hilarious, sex-positive romp about a witch and a baker—think small-town charm with steamy moments. Don’t overlook 'Mooncakes' by Suzanne Walker (a graphic novel) for queer, cozy vibes.
Standout indie pick: 'The Witch Collector' by Charissa Weaks. It’s got Viking-inspired witches, enemies-to-lovers tension, and prose so lush you’ll want to live in its world. Also, ‘The Witch’s Vacuum Cleaner’ by Terry Pratchett (posthumous release) isn’t strictly romance, but the Discworld wit and whimsy make it a joy.

Witchy romances are my guilty pleasure, and 2024’s lineup is fire. Top of my list is 'The Witchwood Knot' by Olivia Atwater—it’s a gothic fairy tale with a prickly heroine and a mysterious fae lord. The banter is chef’s kiss. ‘A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon’ by Sarah Hawley is pure fun; imagine a chaos witch accidentally summoning a demon who’s way too hot for her sanity.
For historical depth, ‘The Daughters of Izdihar’ by Hadeer Elsbai blends Egyptian mythology with feminist rebellion and a slow-burn sapphic romance. ‘The Night Hunt’ by Alexandra Christo is a recent favorite—dark, bloody, and packed with godly/witchy tension.
If you like your witches with a side of mystery, ‘The Lost Witch’ by Melanie Karsak stitches together Celtic lore and a time-traveling romance that’ll wreck you. And don’t sleep on ‘The Witch Haven’ by Sasha Peyton Smith—it’s 1911 NYC with secret societies and a love triangle that actually works.
