This story was very cute. This was truly a cozy romance and was just a very sweet book to read. However there were a few things I wish had been done slightly differently. Such as the characters being developed a bit more. At times they felt a little two dimensional and flimsy in certain sections of the book. The pacing also felt odd in some places and I feel like there were some unresolved issues within the book. Such as the issue of a witches parents dying shortly after her birth. I felt like that was brought up quite a bit and thought they would find a solution or fix for that or at the very least find out more about how the spell when wrong but the author just never really did anything with it. Overall I’d say this was a solid read, cute and sweet. I enjoyed the magic system it’s not one I’ve seen before and was unique and interesting. I also loved the found family aspect, and Mika finding her place within Nowhere House.
