With the release of Hazelnut Latte And Something To Say recently released, I thought I'd make a post about the suggested reading order for the witch based series within the Obscure World.
I do write all of my series with the intention of them being able to be read on their own, but I do also link them. There are often cameos, but there are also some series that are more linked than others, and the witchy read-through path is one of them.
Grimalkin Academy tells two stories for best friends Mona (books 1-6) and Daphne (books 7-10), BUT they do overlap in an odd order (they were originally two separate series and Daphne was only supposed to have one book, it's a long story), but if you want to read in the exact order they happen (not necessary, they are written to avoid major spoilers!):
- Catching A Vampire (Daphne #1)
- First Time's A Charm (Mona #1) < free on retailers!
- Second Time's A Curse (Mona #2)
- Catching A Wizard (Daphne #2)
- Catching A Warlock (Daphne #3)
- Curses Start Somewhere (Prequel to Mona from her mother's POV) < free on the bonus content page of my website
- Third Time's A Crime (Mona #3)
- Fourth Time's A Cure (Mona #4)
- Fifth Time's A Crisis (Mona #5)
- Courting A Witch (Daphne HEA - links to the vampire path through The Obscure World too)
- This Time Is Trouble (Mona HEA)
This Time Is Trouble links up Grimalkin Academy with Cauldron Coffee Shop as Mona (and Daphne's twin brother, Ryan) do an internship on a dig with Sabine (the best friend of the main character in Cauldron Coffee Shop) where they find a mysterious (and very important) teapot. That then moves into the Cauldron Coffee Shop arc:
- Unfortunate Decrees and Iced Coffees (Side Story from Sabine's POV) < free on my website
- Pumpkin Spice And All Things Nice (Willow #1)
- Hazelnut Latte And Something To Say (Willow #2)
- Peppermint Tea And Nothing Is Free (Willow #3)
- Cinnamon Cocoa And Far To Go (Willow #4)
- (Willow #5)
- (Willow #6)
If you've been reading Cauldron Coffee Shop already, then you might have wondered about Willow's cousins who show up every now and again with their sweet treats - well these are the witches of the Broomstick Bakery series, which brings me to the final (current) arc of the witches of The Obscure World:
- The Cupcake Witch (Oakley) < currently my newsletter serial (a free chapter a week for subscribers!)
- The Macaron Witch (Hazel)
- The Pastry Warlock (Ash) < part of Hope: A Books on the Beach Anthology
- The Gingerbread Witch (Rowen)
- The Baklava Witch (Clover) < not yet on pre-order
There is one final book featuring witches in the Obscure World, but other than a few references to Grimalkin Academy, there isn't currently a link between the series (there will be, just not yet!) Potion Making For Disastrous Witches is part of the Obscure Academy series, where each of the books follows a different supernatural couple.
- Potion Making For Disastrous Witches (Michaela & Owen) < currently part of the Midnight Magic Boxed Set
And more to come in the future! (I do love witches!)
