At Estersage University (where you can "Be Any Witch You Want To Be!"™), the morning radio show is presented by Louise Cotton, Aural Magicks major and authorised snark, and her best friend Aahana Gupta.
At the local bakery, The Flaky Tart, Diana Burghley serves the best damn coffee in town, while Scout, her partner in crime and prodigious Seer, bakes up a storm.
Paths collide when someone from Louise's past (and Scout's future) comes to town. The five witches find their way around each other, knit, fight, take exams, and maybe save the world. Maybe.

Caprice Bilberry is a witch who suddenly arrives at Oracle's extraordinary campus and is informed that as a student here, her greatest wish will be granted: She will be freed from generational enslavement and have the right to go to school and practice her magic.

No Good Witches | ONC √
I'M GOING TO START EDITING THIS PROBABLY. If you go to Our Lady of the Black Veil Academy, chances are you know the names Cass Landry, Rebecca Lovelace, and Mallory Meksawan. Cass Landry being the mysterious new girl with a tendency to practice magic illegally, Rebecca being notorious for lighting up every room she walks into, and Mallory being the second in command it-girl of Black Veil, as famed as she is feared. After a magical attempt to escape detention goes terribly, horribly wrong and their ethics teacher winds up dead (ironic, they know), Cass must band together with Rebecca, the girl she "totally doesn't like", and Mallory, another girl she doesn't like (but like...for real this time) to find a spell that can bring their teacher back to life before her situation becomes permanent. A spell of this caliber, however, requires that they venture into the underground world of their picturesque town, striking a deal with a powerful gang leader that not only raises the stakes, but gives them an even tighter timeline. And though as a witch Cass has personal experience with life and death, the pressure that she's facing now might just be too tough to handle. Luckily, she's not alone. And with the three baddest witches of Black Veil, who knows what could happen. (So yeah I failed but I'm keeping ONC in the title okay let me have this)Complete
