Publisher's summary

“This is one of my coziest reads of the last year, and I find myself thinking about its enchanted setting all the time.”—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author

A warm and uplifting novel 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 knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she’s used to being alone and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos "pretending" to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.

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…Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he’s concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat.

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't the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn’t know she was looking for.....

Featured Article: The top 100 fantasy listens of all time


When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.

Quaint, heartwarming story

This book exceeded my expectations. it's not often an author can weave a story so that by the end, you feel like you lived the story right along with the characters. This one does. I will be rereading this book, over and over as it is now my go- to, feel good read! Highly recommend also listening to this book. the narrator was perfection.

Best book of the year!

This lovely story is cozy, sweet, romantic, and has a touch of mystery! I can already tell it’s a new favorite of mine. The witch magic system was very well done. The cast of characters were diverse, with BIPOC and LGBTQ representation. You will fall in love with the characters in this story.

Charming Cozy Fantasy with Excellent Narration

This was a gentle cozy fantasy that will leave your day brighter. The narration was excellent and the several accents deftly handled. Her soothing voice fits the storyline and adds nuance to the Mika's inner narration. Highly recommend the audio experience - it made the book all the better.
