A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family\u2014and a new love\u2014changes the course of her life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don\u2019t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she\u2019s used to being alone and she follows the rules\u2026with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos \u201cpretending\u201d to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.<\/p>\n

But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and\u2026Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he\u2019s concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat.<\/p>\n

As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn\u2019t the only danger in the world, and when peril comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn\u2019t know she was looking for\u2026.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This book was recommended to me by one of my Twitter friends and I think 4 or 5 of us ended up reading it. It wasn’t one specific genre with elements of fantasy, romance, mystery, and women’s literature. That’s probably why it was so engaging. It was unique and hard to categorize. It’s why I found it so engaging. On Goodreads I gave it 3 out of 5 stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
