Summary

She found magic in the most unlikely of places.

A cosy, heartwarming and uplifting magical romance about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family—and a new love—changes the course of her life.

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 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 threat.

As Mika finds her feet, the thought 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....

Heart warming and enchanting

This book is a real feel good, heart warming and uplifting novel. Set in Britain, where witches must follow strict set of rules and can not meet often, they are also always orphans and must hide their magic. Mika is out positive, powerful ray of sunshine witch who became a kind of governess for 3 young witches in order to help them control their magic. She finds herself in this beautiful house with some really kind and warm people, plus a grumpy gorgeous man and the 3 interesting girls. They all offer her a chance to be part of a family and we follow the magic lessons and the relationships between them develop and flourish.
The romance isn't the focus here but we do get a very slow burn one with a sprinkle of spice right at the end. The love and affection between all who live in the house is the main focus here, and the magic, of course. There some funny moments too. But I absolutely loved the magic. However, be aware that it can be a bit slow at times as there are many pages with the day-day routine and details about magic spells, etc. Still a loved those too.
Free on KU, but I also bought the audio book because I love British narrators.
The narration is excellent, she made it easy to identify all the different characters and her voice is just lovely.

Love it

I love the narrator, the story and how events unfold. I’d love a series involving the characters - I became very invested in them.

Great story, pity about the bad language

I enjoyed this book very much. Not usually one for romantic stuff, thought I would give it a go and wasn’t disappointed. A nice storyline with some good humour in it. My only gripe is the use of foul language. Not necessary and removes the class

More like this please

The narrator was excellent, able to convey all sorts of emotions with panache. She always sounded engaged with the story.

Compelling characters, lots of conflict, romance, magic, wrapped up in a fluent and polished writing style.

I look forward to reading more from this author. Highly recommended.

This was such a lovely listen. The story is so heartwarming. I am so sad I have finished it because I loved it so much I didn’t want it to end!

Sweet and captivating

Loved it, such a beautiful story, the characters were quite nicely developed, and the performer did a great job! I felt the atmosphere of the book had a slight hint of Harry Potter (1st book) mixed with Marry Popins, with the added adult romance on top (and ocasional profanity). An enjoyable and light read overall

Loved it

I loved this book and would love to hear more. It was a light hearted and heart warming listen.
The story is all about how everyone has their own difficult experiences that can make us feel alienated from others but actually in the end its people who can heal us, make us feel whole and help us to belong.
The narration was lovely and suited the story.
My only negative comment is that there were one too many ‘F’ words where they weren’t needed and it distracted from the writing in my opinion but that’s such a little thing.
I would love to hear more about the adventures and misadventures of this family.
