  Add The Witching Hour to your for later shelf

  This older selection from Anne Rice is much more of a horror tale than the All Souls Trilogy books, but, if you loved the history and twisted family connections in A Discovery of Witches you will love The Witching Hour. Heads up -- this…Read moreRead more of this annotation

  a Novel

  Flyte, Magnus

  Add City of Dark Magic to your for later shelf

  City of Dark Magic has no witches, but if you liked the details on the history of alchemy, science and witchcraft in A Discovery of Witches, this book is for you. The tone is more comedy, with some dark/dirty humor. It reads a bit like a…Read moreRead more of this annotation

  Swyler, Erika

  Add The Book of Speculation to your for later shelf

  Not one of my favorites but many others liked it. No witches but a rich family saga with paranormal/superhuman notes.

• A Secret History of Witches

  Morgan, Louisa, 1952-

  Add A Secret History of Witches to your for later shelf

  Again, I did not love this but you just might. A family of witches lives through tragedy after tragedy throughout many generations. Fans of British Royal Family fiction will love this one.

• Outlander

  Gabaldon, Diana

  Add Outlander to your for later shelf

  Chances are, if you've read A Discover of Witches and loved it, you have also read Outlander. But if you haven't, this is a guaranteed hit.

• The Last Days of Magic

  Tompkins, Mark (Photographer)

  Add The Last Days of Magic to your for later shelf

  Rich in Irish and British Isles history, The Last Days of Magic probes the genealogy of magic, not witches. A great read but know that it reads like Norse mythology - lots of violence.

• Drood

  a Novel

  Simmons, Dan

  Add Drood to your for later shelf

  I added this title even though it has no witches, no sprawling family history, and no romance. Rather, it paints a deeply rich portrait of London history and possible occult happenings. Scary!

• The Historian

  a Novel

  Kostova, Elizabeth

  Add The Historian to your for later shelf

  Think vampires instead of witches, and Eastern Europe instead of England, and you'll have the sprawling historical fiction novel that is The Historian. Not as fast paced or as gripping as A Discovery of Witches but fans of the All Souls…Read moreRead more of this annotation

  Barker, Emily Croy,

  Add The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic to your for later shelf

  Another novel where a headstrong female heroine is plopped down into the middle of a magical world. Some readers have compared it to a magical Pride and Prejudice.
