Witches of Befana Bay Books in Order

Witches of Befana Bay moves Deanna Chase's magic to the Pacific Northwest and lets the change in setting do some real work. Befana Bay sits on the Hood Canal, and the series has a quieter, more coastal feel than her New Orleans books. It is still romantic and community-minded, but there is a little more hush around the magic, and a little more suspense under the surface.

The books center on connected witches, especially the Easton sisters and the people around them. Each heroine has her own life, talents, and issues. One is a glass artist whose work is bound up with her magic. Another writes an advice column. Another runs a broom business. Those details help the series feel handmade, local, and specific.

Befana Bay itself matters in the same way Keating Hollow or Christmas Grove matters in Chase's other series. It is not just a background postcard. The town has magical rules, vulnerable balance, and a close community that notices when things go wrong. Orcas, shorelines, artisan shops, and small-town reputations all shape the mood.

Romance drives each book, but there is usually a mystery or magical threat tangled up with it. Lost power, poisoned writing, missing potions, suspicious accidents, and town-wide danger keep the stories moving. That gives the series a nice balance between comfort-read warmth and a little extra forward momentum.

Start with The Witch's Silver Lining if you want to enter the town from the beginning. If you like small-town witch romance but want a fresh setting, creative heroines, and a Pacific Northwest spin on Deanna Chase's usual strengths, Befana Bay is well worth the trip.
