If you loved how Danny is drawn to the Grays and the redwoods seem to breathe back in The Lost Coast, you’ll sink right into The Raven Boys. Cabeswater—a living, otherworldly forest—answers to intuition rather than rules, much like the Grays’ magic. The messy, magnetic bonds among Blue, Gansey, Ronan, Adam, and Noah echo that found-coven vibe as they chase a sleeping king and unravel forest-bent miracles that feel as strange and intimate as the Grays’ spells for Imogen.

Like the hush of Humboldt’s cliffs and whispering groves surrounding Danny and the Grays, Summer of Salt saturates a seaside island with salt-soaked, slightly surreal magic. Georgina’s family of women wield uncanny gifts that, as with the Grays’ witchcraft for Imogen, blur the line between myth and reality. The story’s misty strangeness, tender queer romance, and a simmering mystery unfolding under gull-cries will scratch that same witchy, coastal itch.

If the way Danny is welcomed (and remade) by the Grays hooked you—the rituals in the redwoods, the fierce loyalty as they search for Imogen—then The Scapegracers is your next spell. Sideways Pike gathers a trio of popular girls into a real-deal coven, and their bond hardens into the kind of chosen family that would absolutely pull off moonlit workings and reckless rescues the way the Grays do.

If what you treasured was how the Grays’ queerness and care shaped every choice—from calling Danny across the country to the devotion around Imogen—When We Were Magic centers that same heartbeat. Alexis and her friends make a catastrophic magical mistake and must fix it together, leaning on humor, panic, and love that feels as real and chaotic as the Grays’ circle under the redwoods.

Danny’s arrival in Tempest to figure out who she is among the Grays—and the way their search for Imogen becomes a path to self—mirrors Yadriel’s journey in Cemetery Boys. Determined to prove himself as a brujo, Yadriel summons a ghost and, in the process, finds identity, community, and love. It’s the same pulse of self-discovery through magic that made The Lost Coast linger.
