What Amazon Says:
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 Nowhwere House to teach 3 young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her 3 charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, 2 long-siffering caretakes, and...Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would od anything to protect the children, and as fas 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 peril comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to proect a found family she didn't know she was looking for.
I really liked this book. It is well written and cute and sweet. The story flowed well, and it is not heavy on the romance. It is mostly a story of Mika finding herself and finding a place she can belong. Good book. Glad I read it.
