The Best Sapphic Witch Books
Six witchy picks, from cozy and spicy to furious and historical.
Two Broke Witches
Kate Starling · Witchmates #1
Two broke witches become flatmates, and the cozy roommate setup turns sweet and very spicy.
Our joint top-scored witch book. Short, warm and with more emotional stakes than the cover suggests.

Firewild
Milena McKay · Crow’s Coven #2
A witch fake-dates a celebrity chef in a hot, funny small-town romance with a family of sisters worth the price on their own.
The spiciest pick here. The love story runs more on sparks than on time together, but the sparks are very good.

Payback’s a Witch
Lana Harper · Witches of Thistle Grove #1
Emmy Harlow comes back to Thistle Grove, a hidden magical town, and teams up with Talia to get revenge on the charming ex who played them both.
Cozy autumn vibes and a complete happy ending. The ex gets more page time than some readers wanted.

Cauldrons & Campfires
Ali K. Mulford and K. Elle Morrison · Lake Nevermore #1
An adult summer camp for witches, complete with magic, mischief, witch wine and a spicy sapphic romance.
Pure fun. Pick it when you want a witchy rom-com with no darkness at all.

The Witch of Hexen Holler
B.L. Brown · 2026
A short, spicy second-chance witch story set in the Appalachian hollers, with rival covens and a second chance at an old love.
Readers want more of this world. The length leaves some threads thin.

The Once and Future Witches
Alix E. Harrow · Redhook · 2020
Three estranged witch sisters reunite in 1893 New Salem and join the fight for women’s suffrage, with witchcraft.
Furious and gorgeous. The tender sapphic thread belongs to one sister, so read it for the story, not a central romance.

Cozy Witch or Witch Hunt?
Witches show up in two very different kinds of sapphic book. The cozy kind is small towns, covens and found family, like Payback’s a Witch and Cauldrons & Campfires. The dark kind is about women persecuted as witches, like The Mercies, and it rarely ends gently. Check the ending column before you start.
For more magic with comfort, see sapphic cozy fantasy romance. For the other paranormal creatures, sapphic paranormal romance.

How We Chose These Books
This selection uses our own full reviews wherever LRR has reviewed a book, plus author and publisher descriptions where a specific trope needs direct support. Every card says why the book fits this exact trope. Cards marked “LRR full review” link to a review where we went through Goodreads, StoryGraph, trade reviews and reader discussion before scoring it. Cards marked “Publisher description” or “Author description” are researched picks that we have not reviewed yet, and we say so rather than pretend otherwise. Ending notes come from our review or from an explicit promise in the book’s own description. Theme notes are not complete content warnings.
