genre: contemporary fantasy/romance
Mika is a witch. She loves this about herself, she's proud of what she can do - and yet, according to the "Rules" she needs to keep to herself. This doesn't just keep her safe, it keeps all witches safe in a world where being able to do magic is just not a safe thing. And that's why Mika hesitates when she's asked if she'd like to take on the magical teaching of THREE witch children. Because witch children should never be together, right? It's not safe. But Mika's curiosity gets the better of her and what she finds at Nowhere House is going to upend everything she's ever understood or experienced about relationships - and about family.
This is a cozy delight of a book. Mike is cute and smart and has some pretty deep trauma. The characters who inhabit Nowhere House are maybe a tiny bit caricatured but it all fits and it all works and I liked them all. I liked seeing them all through Mika's eyes and experiencing their world from her point of view. Things happened I didn't expect. Little twists kept it moving and I believed even the bigger reveals. The romance is a slow burn but it was also just enough. It was exactly what I was looking for so yay that I found this one.
