Synopsis

Fall head over broomstick in love with this swoon-worthy, witchy romantic fantasy, perfect for fans of Twin Crowns, Divine Rivals and Stephanie Garber.

For the Kingdom. For the magic. And for love . . .

Seventeen-year-old Aurelia Wycherley is entering her debutante season as a witch. Aurelia should be excited about finding the perfect match to tether her magic to. But her magic is cursed – dark, dangerous, and not the kind that her peers want to match with – and, without a tether, she faces losing her magic completely.

But when Aurelia learns that enigmatic, aloof Jules, a member of arch enemy family the Nightlys, is searching for a way that a witch can keep their magic without tethering, she realises he may be her only hope. A forbidden alliance is formed . . . but as they navigate the Magical Season with its glamoured balls and perilous trials, they uncover dark forces that threaten their families and the magical world they live in.

Expect family secrets, generational curses, forbidden romance, gorgeous ballgowns, bribery, extortion, trespass, magic and kissing . . . lots of kissing.

2.5/5 First things first: Petition to save all characters whose eye color makes up 70% of their personality. Enough with the stormy eyes. Please. The Wycherleys—or as I like to call it, YA Cotillion Drama with a Side of Magic (and a Broom That Has More Personality Than Half of the Characters). Now, ont......more

Goodreads review by Magdalena on February 25, 2025

A delightful YA novel about witches, with a great magic system, sweet romance and an action-packed plot. I didn’t expect to enjoy this book as much as I did! First of all, I really appreciated the worldbuilding. It’s simple, yet it works very well. The action takes place in an alternate London during......more

The Wycherleys – Bridgerton with Magic (and a Whole Lot of Love Confessions) This is a YA Regency fantasy that’s light and easy to read. But before you grab your fan and smelling salts, let’s talk about what worked and what had me dramatically sighing like a heroine in distress. ✨ Effortless Writing –......more

The Wycherleys by Annaliese Avery I have been struggling to read and enjoy anything since I finished Sunrise on the Reaping but this one managed to get through to me!

Quotes

Avery has created an inventive escapist fantasy where magical ability meets societal nobility, where forged alliances are life-changing, and for cursed outcast Aurelia Wycherley, potentially lifesaving. With a swoon-worthy Regency setting, feuding families and deadly curses, a wickedly fun opposite-sides-of-the-same-coin heroine and hero, treachery and backstabbing galore and more than a little romance, The Wycherleys will surely be the talk of the Season! Perfect for reading by candlelight in the back of a darkened ballroom while you wait for your mysterious paramour to find you and spirit you away!

I’m obsessed with this captivating and fiercely romantic book. Annaliese Avery cleverly weaves a magical world of family curses, glittering ballgowns and characters you can’t help but fall in love with. A beautiful story, beautifully written.

I am utterly captivated by this addictive and swoony fantasy romance! Aurelia is brave, bold and wears her curse proudly. Jules is Mr Darcy for a new generation. They set the standard for courtship. If you're not committing felonies together, is it love?

A fun, tense, enemies-to-lovers romance with magic and plenty of secrets. Nothing is as it seems. It had me gripped from the first page.

‘From the first perfect line, The Wycherleys had me hooked. It’s the perfect swoon-worthy fantasy-romance featuring everything I love: wonderfully drawn characters to fall and root for, an alternate history with ballgowns and broomsticks, curses, magic with a clever twist, and a world I’d love to visit.

A truly magical read that filled a Bridgerton-shaped hole in my heart and added magic! Gorgeous writing and characters to fall in love with – I adored it.
