books i’ve been loving

the exorcism of faeries literally changed my entire life i’m so obsessed with it. i made an entire pinterest board based off of it and added dark academia clothes to my shopping carts due to the main characters wardrobe being so insanely good. gothic plagues doctor vibes from start to finish and it’s SO romantic ugh. the sisters solstice series is amazing as well so far (im on book two). and i honestly can’t remember much of what spellcaster was about but i remember loving it lol and it ended on a total cliffhanger !! book two is in the making, same for the exorcism of faeries. they’re ALL witchy though.

1/15 Edited to

... Read moreAs an avid reader of witchy and gothic fantasy, I've found that books like 'The Exorcism of Faeries' offer much more than just an engaging plot—they immerse you in a mood and aesthetic that's hard to find elsewhere. The way the main character’s wardrobe inspired me to curate a dark academia Pinterest board shows how deeply these stories can influence personal style and creativity. The gothic plague doctor vibes combined with romantic elements create a unique blend that appeals to fans of both historical and supernatural fiction. The Sisters Solstice series continues this trend with rich world-building and intriguing characters that keep you hooked beyond the first book. It’s exciting to follow a series where the magic of witches and fae intertwine with dark, atmospheric settings. Even though 'Spellcaster' left me hanging with its cliffhanger ending, the anticipation of the sequel makes the wait worthwhile. What I love most is how these books bring witchcraft and fae folklore to life with a modern twist, making them perfect for those who appreciate a mix of fantasy with contemporary gothic culture. If you’re drawn to books that explore the mystical with a romantic and stylish flair, these titles are definitely worth adding to your reading list. They’re not only great stories but also inspire lifestyle choices from fashion to home décor, creating a holistic fandom experience.

Must have books to learn manipulation
