About this listen
Book witches live by a strict code: Real people belong in the real word; fictional characters belong in works of fiction.... Do not eat, drink, or sleep inside a fictional world, lest you become part of the story. Falling in love with a fictional character? Don't even think about it.
Except Rainy has fallen hard for the Duke of Chicago, the dashing British detective who stars in her favorite noir series. After their illicit romance is exposed, Rainy is forbidden from ever seeing her fictional lover again, lest she be expelled from her book coven-and forced to give up the magical gifts that are as much a part of her as her own name.
When a priceless book is stolen from her home, there's only one person she trusts to help her get it back: the Duke. Thus their shared quest begins through the worlds of Alice in Wonderland, The Great Gatsby, and other classics that will reveal hidden enemies and long-buried family secrets.©2026 8th Circle, LLC (P)2026 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
Critic Reviews
Meg Shaffer continues to surprise and delight me with each book she writes. The Book Witch mixes romance and mystery and a deep appreciation of the power of stories to create the perfect love letter to readers (and writers) everywhere. This was such a fun read that had me laughing in one scene and tearing up in the next. It's the perfect book for anyone who has ever fallen in love with a fictional character (me!) or who has dreamed of walking through their favorite story. I loved it!
The Book Witch feels like falling through an incredibly fun and twisty rabbit hole while wrapped in a warm blanket and sipping your favorite cup of tea. Meg Shaffer brought my childhood dreams to life in a gem of a book that is inventive, cozy, and important all at the same time
Warning: reading this book may cause hours to vanish, your imagination to run wild, and the impossible desire to leap into the pages of your favorite stories. A clever and heart-felt adventure, this novel captures the giddy, perilous magic of losing yourself in a good story, just like Rainy herself does. A luminous, wildly imaginative delight that every book-lover will cherish
