Warlocks are the male version of a witch unless you are Cassandra Clare. She redefines Witches as male & female humans who practice magic and Warlocks the male & female offspring of humans & demons. They have natural magic abilities. Kelley Armstrong (at least in the books I've read so far) says Sorcerers and Witches are not the same. Also, in Wizards of Waverly Place (Disney show) Alex would be considered a Wizard not a witch. So to keep things from getting complicated I separated the two. I'm not sure if I should do a separate one for Warlocks or lump it in with the witches. I always thought Warlocks & Wizards were different.

Hmm, from where I come from, males are witches too and using warlock is extreme insult. And wizards aren't around..

Really? Interesting comment Heather. Guess it's a good thing I separated them then. Didn't feel right lumping Warlock in with anything. :)

Yeppers, really, really. I hate it when witches are used in such a way in books and in TV that demeans them.

The series I recommended is sort of comedic, if you like funny paranormal series.

Witches:
Chime by Franny Billingsley (single)

Other:
Curse Workers series by Holly Black
Medusa Girls series by Tera Lynn Childs
Mythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep

If you Like Cassandra Clare <==> Holly Black You may also like (and vice versa)

Hope I did this right - may have more later. :)

Aaand I already have (one) more:

Werewolves (single):
Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause

If you Like Shiver & other Mercy Falls books <==> Blood and Chocolate You may also like (and vice versa)

(I'm sorry, I didn't realize how old this was until just now! Apologies if posting on dead threads makes things wonky for you, mods.)

No problem Ariel. We started this one a long time ago before Goodreads created their recommendations page. I do still like it, but when Goodreads merged with another company which had the tool to make recommendations to users, it kind became obsolete.
