Book Details

Pages: 318

Genre: Contemporary Fantasy Romance

Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton

Format: Hardback

As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon has lived her life by three rules: hide your magic, keep your head down, and stay away from other witches. An orphan raised by strangers from a young age, Mika is good at being alone and she doesn’t mind it… mostly.

But then an unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches, and Mika jumps at the chance for a different life.

Nowhere House is nothing like she expects, and she’s quickly tangled up in the lives and secrets of its quirky, caring inhabitants… and with Jamie, the handsome, prickly librarian who would do anything to protect his charges, and who sees Mika’s arrival as a threat. An irritatingly appealing thread.

As Mika find her feet, the though of belonging somewhere starts to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn’t the only danger in the world, and soon Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect the found family she didn’t know she was looking for…

Review

* Non-Spoiler Review*

I have been reading this book in the office at lunchtime over the last few months. This book I picked up two years ago in Edinburgh on a girls trip, as it looked like a cosy fantasy romance – and it was!

This will be a short review because the synopsis covers everything you need to know for a non-spoiler review. However, to note, the story was charming. There was good character growth for not only the MC but also for the supporting characters, the house and the world felt cosy and secluded which enhanced the plot.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Its suitable for those who enjoy a plot around character growth and enchanting environments.
