Wayfair Witches: The Magnetic Magic Mysteries Books in Order

The Magnetic Magic Mysteries pick up later in Wanda Wayfair's life and put a new twist on what she does best, solving magical murders. In these books Wanda is a Wayfarer, which means that when a witch dies, their familiar can seek her out so the pair can uncover the truth together. It is a neat hook, and it gives this branch of the Wayfair world a slightly different feel.

The cases come to Wanda more directly now.

A Mindful Murder sets the tone. A yoga teacher is killed, Wanda is competing with another Wayfarer for the case, and ordinary life refuses to pause just because a witch has died. She has a new job, a complicated love life, and the usual pressure from her coven, so the mystery arrives right alongside work, family, and everyday magical chaos.

That balance is a big part of the appeal. These stories are still cozy, still funny, and still full of strange creatures, but the investigation side feels a little sharper. Familiars are not just cute sidekicks here. They are witnesses, partners, and sometimes the whole reason Wanda gets involved. Dizzy, Wanda's own familiar, helps give the series much of its personality.

The wider arc matters too. In An Electric Engagement, friends are vanishing, the Grove and its dark-arts dealings are causing trouble, and Wanda's private life is colliding with danger in a very direct way. Plans for the future, hidden enemies, and magical politics all squeeze into the same story, so the books keep a nice mix of domestic stakes and larger threats.

There is still plenty of warmth. Wanda is surrounded by people and creatures who make the world feel lived in, and even something as unexpected as a miniphant fits the tone. The series never forgets that the fun comes from contrast, a murder to solve, a magical complication to untangle, and then some stubbornly ordinary personal problem waiting around the corner.

It is murder investigation, but with bats, covens, and wedding planning.

Readers who already enjoy Wanda will probably click with this series straight away, because it shows her in a more experienced role without smoothing out the messiness that makes her interesting. She is still capable, nosy, worried, stubborn, and occasionally overwhelmed. The difference is that now her place in the magical world is more defined, and the books can have fun with what that responsibility costs.

If the earlier Wayfair novels are about Wanda finding her feet, the Magnetic Magic Mysteries are about what happens after that, when everybody knows she is useful and the dead keep asking for help. The result is a cozy supernatural mystery series that feels both familiar and refreshed, a good fit for readers who want later Wanda stories with a stronger case-of-the-book focus.
