In a world where witches are meant to be kept a secret one witch finds herself as the tutor to three young children and living in a house with a very grumpy librarian. Mika Moon is a witch, she’s part of a society of witches and has been raised ( or rather, given nannies) all her life by the head witch Primrose. She’s been alone all her life, growing into her powers by herself, and has been posting “witch core” videos online just to share a little bit of her magic with others. No one was suppose to ever really think she was a witch but when she gets a message begging her to travel to a remote and mysterious place called the Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic, Mika can’t seem to pass up the opportunity. It breaks all the rules she was raised with but she just can’t seem to turn away. Upon arrival she finds that the house is strongly warded to be hidden, and that besides the three young children there, there is also an absent archaeologist ( The head owner of the house and the guardian of the three children), a retired actor, two long suffering caretakers, and Jamie, the handsome but grumpy and cold librarian. With three children who’s magic is barely controlled, mischievous matchmaking seniors, and a librarian who seems to not want her anywhere near the children or house, Mika has her work cut out for her. She is suppose to help the children learn to control their magic before the solicitor of the house comes to assess them and with a ticking clock Mika barely knows if she’ll make it in time. It doesn’t help that the grumpy librarian is slowly worming his way into her heart and that the children and people here are becoming more like family to her... yet they are hiding a secret that could break the trust and her heart... and she’ll have to decide if she’s willing to risk it all for this new found family she has or if they’ve hurt her too deeply for her to try again. This was such a sweet and heartwarming story about found family. Mika has been hurt and used, her trust has been broken, but she’s so kind and caring, and the children in this were just precious. Jamie took some growing on but you understand why he is the way he is. This is the perfect witchy rom com to read for autumn or winter, it’s cozy, romantic, and just so gosh darn sweet.
