Amy Boyles Books in Order (Updated April 28, 2026)

Amy Boyles is an American author of paranormal cozy mysteries, magical romantic comedies, and cozy romantasy. Her books often feature witches, haunted towns, Southern magic, ghosts, family secrets, and light romance.

The best way to read Amy Boyles is by series. Most of her books do not require one single universe-wide order, but several of the Southern paranormal cozy series connect through crossover characters.

For most new readers, the best starting point is Southern Magic. It opens the Sweet Tea Witches series and gives the clearest route into Amy Boyles’ larger magical cozy world.

Quick Answer

1. Start with Southern Magic if you want Amy Boyles’ main paranormal cozy mystery world.
2. Start with Scared Witchless if you want the Bless Your Witch series from the beginning.
3. Start with How to Fake It with a Fae if you prefer magical romance.

Save Lost Southern Magic until later. It is a crossover and works better after you already know the main characters from the related series.

How Amy Boyles’ Series Connect

Amy Boyles has several separate reading lanes.

The main connected cozy group includes:

1. Sweet Tea Witches
2. Southern Ghost Wranglers
3. Southern Belles and Spells Matchmaker Mysteries
4. Bless Your Witch
5. Lost Southern Magic

Lost Southern Magic is the key crossover series. It brings together Pepper Reign, Blissful Breneaux, Charming Calhoun, and Dylan Bane, so it should not be treated as a beginner-friendly standalone series.

Other series, including Magical Renovation Mysteries, The Accidental Medium, The Withering Mysteries, Midlife Spell Hunter, Seven Suitors for Seven Witches, and Stupid Love, can be read separately.

Amy Boyles Books in Order by Series

Dark Revolution Books in Order

This is a separate earlier series. It does not connect to Amy Boyles’ cozy witch mysteries.

1. Unlikely Rebel (2015): The series opener introduces the Dark Revolution setting and begins the main conflict before the later books increase the stakes.
2. Rendered (2015): The second book continues the same dystopian/paranormal storyline and depends on the setup from Unlikely Rebel.
3. Baited (2015): The third entry moves the series further into danger, so it should be read after the first two books.
4. Held (2015): The fourth book closes the listed Dark Revolution sequence and works best after the full earlier arc is in place.

Bless Your Witch Books in Order

Read this series in order. Southern Fried Witchmas is a side entry that belongs after Don’t Give a Witch.

1. Scared Witchless (2016): Dylan Apel’s story begins here, introducing Silver Springs, her family magic, and the witch-cozy setup.
2. Kiss My Witch (2016): Dylan’s magical life continues after the first book, with the town and family dynamics already established.
3. Queen Witch (2016): The third book builds on Dylan’s growing magical responsibilities and should not be used as a first entry.
4. Quit Your Witchin’ (2017): This case continues the Silver Springs continuity after the core cast is already familiar.
5. For Witch’s Sake (2017): Dylan’s witch life and mystery-solving role keep expanding, making the earlier books useful context.
6. Don’t Give a Witch (2017): The sixth book continues the main run and comes before the Christmas side story.
7. Southern Fried Witchmas (2017): A holiday entry that fits naturally after Don’t Give a Witch and before Witch My Grits.
8. Witch My Grits (2017): The main sequence resumes here, continuing Dylan’s magical and family-centered storyline.
9. Fried Green Witch (2018): A later Silver Springs mystery that assumes the reader already knows Dylan and her world.
10. Southern Witching (2018): This entry continues the late-series rhythm and keeps the magical community threads moving.
11. Y’all Witches (2018): The eleventh book belongs near the end of the run because it depends on the long-established cast.
12. Hold Your Witches (2018): The final listed Bless Your Witch novel is best read after the full Dylan Apel sequence.
13. Wedding Bells and a Rat’s Tale (Short Story): Optional bonus material for readers who already know the Bless Your Witch characters.

3. The Withering Storm (2024): The third entry completes the listed trilogy and works best after the first two books.

Seven Suitors for Seven Witches Books in Order

These are romance-first books. They are designed to be more standalone than the cozy mystery series, but order still gives the cleanest experience.

1. How to Fake It with a Fae (2024): The series begins with a grumpy-sunshine fae romance, a magical bookshop, and the first clear look at the Seven Suitors setting.

1. Stupid Magical Love (2025): The first book establishes the Stupid Love series tone and its magical-romance direction.

Standalone Amy Boyles Book

• The Magical Spice Tea Shop (2026): A separate magical tea-shop novel listed outside the numbered series, making it a cleaner standalone option for readers who do not want a long commitment.

Recommended Amy Boyles Reading Order

Readers who only want one series can simply choose a series above and follow its numbered order.

Readers who want the connected Southern paranormal cozy world should use this route:

1. Southern Magic (2018): Begin here because Pepper Dunn and Magnolia Cove provide the strongest entry into the wider connected setting.
2. Read Sweet Tea Witches through Southern Omens (2020): This gives you the main Magnolia Cove foundation before the crossover period.
3. Read Southern Ghost Wranglers from Soul Food Spirits through Mistletoe and Spirits: This introduces Blissful Breneaux before she becomes part of the crossover.
4. Read Southern Belles and Spells from Deadly Spells and a Southern Belle through Some Pig and a Mummy Dig: This gives Charming Calhoun her own context before Lost Southern Magic.
5. Read Bless Your Witch from Scared Witchless through Hold Your Witches: This gives Dylan Bane’s background before the shared crossover story.
6. Read Lost Southern Magic from The Gold Touch That Went Cattywampus through Knee-High to a Thief: This is the best placement for the crossover because the major heroines are already familiar.
7. Return to Sweet Tea Witches from Southern Jinxed onward: Continue Pepper’s later Magnolia Cove books after the crossover.

This order is not required for every reader. It is the best balance for readers who want crossover payoffs without reading characters out of context.

Box Sets and Collections

Box sets are not separate stories. They collect earlier books and should not be inserted as new reading-order entries.

1. Southern Fried Witch: A Bless Your Witch collection that gathers the early Dylan Apel books.
2. Sweet Southern Magic: A Sweet Tea Witches collection covering the first three Pepper Dunn books.
3. How Sweet Magic Is: A Sweet Tea Witches collection covering books 4-6.
4. Sweet Home Magic: A Sweet Tea Witches collection covering books 7-9.

Publication Order or Chronological Order?

Use publication order within each series.

Amy Boyles’ books are structured around series progression rather than one complicated master chronology. Publication order protects introductions, relationship development, and recurring-character reveals.

A strict chronological order across the entire bibliography is not necessary. The only major warning is to avoid Lost Southern Magic until after the related Southern cozy leads have been introduced.

Latest Amy Boyles Release Status

At the time of writing such as April 28, 2026, the newest confirmed Amy Boyles release is Stupid Spellbound Love (2026).

Upcoming or newly listed 2026 titles include The Magical Spice Tea Shop (2026) and Stupid Matchmaking Love (2026). Future dates should be treated as subject to change until publication.

Final Advice

The best Amy Boyles starting point is Southern Magic (2018). It gives readers the clearest introduction to Magnolia Cove, Pepper Dunn, and the connected Southern paranormal cozy world.
