If Kendra’s spin on Cinderella—especially the Emma vs. Lisette rivalry—was your favorite part, you’ll love how Cinder reimagines the tale with a cyborg mechanic in New Beijing. Watching Cinder juggle life in a cruel stepfamily, a deadly plague, and her pull toward Prince Kai mirrors those clever flips you enjoyed, while the ruthless Lunar queen provides the kind of high-stakes meddling Kendra would totally comment on.

If Kendra’s breezy, snarky asides and not-always-helpful interventions made you grin, Hex Hall hits the same vibe. Sophie Mercer’s sarcastic narration, disastrous spellwork, vampire roommate drama, and detention at Hecate Hall deliver the kind of laugh-out-loud, magical misadventures that echo Kendra’s chatty, self-aware storytelling in Bewitching.

If you smiled at how Kendra’s magic often creates as many problems as it solves, you’ll adore Howl’s Moving Castle. When Sophie Hatter gets cursed into old age, she barges into the wizard Howl’s living castle and outwits fire demons, deceptive spells, and Howl’s dramatic flair—capturing that same whimsical, well-meaning-chaos energy you enjoyed in Kendra’s interventions.

If Emma’s growth—from being overshadowed by oh-so-perfect Lisette to finding her own backbone—hooked you, Ella Enchanted will scratch the same itch. Ella’s cursed obedience turns every request into a command, and her fight to outwit it while navigating court life and her bond with Prince Char delivers that heartfelt, coming-into-your-own arc you cherished in Bewitching.

If the book’s unexpected turns—like the bittersweet mermaid episode and the way familiar tales hide sharp edges—kept you turning pages, Kill Me Softly leans into those twists. In Beau Rivage, teens inherit fairy-tale destinies with sinister fine print: sleeping curses, wicked stepmothers, and dangerous “true loves.” It’s the same reveal-the-dark-underbelly surprise that Bewitching does so well.
