Turns out, when a realtor says 'location, location, location!', they aren't going to mention the property is directly above a portal to Hell...

I'm Eliza Grey, and my charming fixer-upper came with an unexpected feature: a gateway to the infernal realms in the basement.

So much for open-concept living.

Now, instead of choosing tile patterns, I'm deciphering ancient runes. My real estate agent? Secretly a magical mentor. The grumpy handyman? A half-demon hunter with a penchant for brooding. And my new house? Let's just say it has opinions on my renovation choices.

I've got to master my newfound magical abilities, navigate the bureaucratic nightmare that is Hell's Seven Boroughs, and find a mystical artifact before a demon lord uses my property as his personal welcome mat to world domination.

Home improvement shows never prepared me for this. If I can survive magical training, outsmart Hell's henchmen, and keep my sanity (and my house) intact, I might just save the world.

Although there's no telling what this will do for the resale value.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go sage my cutlery. In this house, you can never be too careful.

Secrets of Saltcliff is the first book in Trim's Forty, Fired & Fighting Demons series. This book features Eliza Grey, a 40-year old woman who, after being let go from her job, decides to start anew in Saltcliff. She pools her available funds, purchases a fixer upper (which she had only seen online), and moves in. It is only then that she learns that the house is not only magical but it also sits on a nexus which acts as a portal for demons. Not exactly what she had in mind.

For years Eliza has ignored her witchy roots, but she cannot ignore them any longer. With the help of her realtor, Astra Lennox, the sexy, broody electrician, Zane, and of course CC, Chateau Chaos (her magical house), Eliza needs to close the portals and banish the demons.

I had fun listening to this book. I enjoyed the quirky group of characters who needed to band together to save the world. While Eliza's snark got somewhat tiresome, it definitely helps her character come across. Her shared banter with Zane was quite entertaining. I think he was my favourite character although Astra was pretty fabulous as well.

I look forward to more of Eliza's witchy adventures, and possibly a romantic relationship between Eliza and Zane. If you're looking for a quick and easy fantasy which will surely have you smiling, then I recommend checking out this book.

A fun witchy read
