If you loved how Alexis, Paulie, Iris, Marcelina, Maryam, and Roya cover for one another after the prom-night catastrophe in When We Were Magic, you’ll click with the ride-or-die crew in The Raven Boys. Blue, Gansey, Ronan, Adam, and Noah form a messy, tender found family where secrets, danger, and supernatural quests test—and strengthen—their bond. It has that same heartbeat of “the coven comes first,” with prickly banter, late-night rituals, and the sense that friendship is the most powerful spell.

Gailey’s blend of body horror (that unforgettable, um, explosive prom accident) and razor-edged jokes finds a wicked twin in My Best Friend’s Exorcism. Abby’s desperate, often hilariously awkward attempts to save her possessed best friend echo the way Alexis uses gallows humor to cope when magic goes violently sideways. You’ll get the same wild swings from cringe and chuckles to genuine tenderness—plus 80s vibes, friendship-as-lifesaver, and demon-fueled mayhem.

If the way Alexis’s coven muddles through messy, half-understood spells spoke to you, Undead Girl Gang is a perfect next step. When Mila raises three dead classmates to investigate their murders, the magic is chaotic, emotional, and improvised—much like the panicked rituals Alexis and friends attempt after the prom-night disaster. Expect snark, heart, and spells fueled by grief and friendship rather than tidy, textbook incantations.

Alexis’s crush on Roya and her awkward, aching process of figuring herself out is mirrored beautifully in The Scapegracers. Sideways Pike, a loner witch, finds power and identity when she’s pulled into a girl-gang coven—sparking messy magic, new desire, and shifting loyalties. If you loved discovering who you are through spellwork and ride-or-die friendships, this sharp, sapphic, neon-tinged tale will hit the same nerve.

If Alexis’s crew grappling with consequences—hiding evidence, choosing who to trust, and deciding how far is too far—hooked you, Sawkill Girls turns that ethical tension up to eleven. Marion, Zoey, and Val confront a predatory force and their own frightening abilities, asking the same questions Alexis faces after the prom-night catastrophe: what responsibility comes with power, and who gets hurt when you use it? It’s fierce, eerie, and morally tangled in all the right ways.
