In the Company of Witches
Auralee Wallace
2021 · 336 pages · Fantasy
How it reads
In the Company of Witches is fantasy (cozy paranormal fantasy, specifically), and its dominant mood is cosy. Low stakes, warm company: the kind of book you read under a blanket. The pace is moderate — neither a page-turner nor a slow burn — so it holds up whether you read it in long sittings or short ones.
It's set in a small town setting, in the present day, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are family, friendship and redemption. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 336 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
