About this listen
Iris Collins is the messy one in her family—the chaos bunny. Her sisters are all wildly successful while she can't balance her budget for a single month. It's no wonder she's in debt to her roommates. When she unexpectedly inherits a house from her great aunt, her plan to turn it into a B&B fails—as most of her plans do. She winds up renting rooms like a Victorian spinster, collecting other lost souls...and not all of them are human.
Eli Reese grew up as the nerdy outcast in school, but he got rich designing apps. Now he's successful by any standards. But he's never had the same luck in finding a real community or people who understand him. Over the years, he's never forgotten his first crush, so when he spots her at a café, he takes it as a sign. Except then he gets sucked into the Iris-verse and somehow ends up renting one of her B&B rooms. As the days pass, Eli grows enchanted by the misfit boarders staying in the house…and even more so by Iris. Could Eli have finally found a person and a place to call home?

Story
Danica Waterhouse is a fully modern witch - daughter, granddaughter, cousin, and co-owner of the Fix-It Witches, a magical tech repair shop. After a messy breakup that included way too much family feedback, Danica made a pact with her cousin: They'll keep their hearts protected and have fun, without involving any of the overly opinionated Waterhouse matriarchs. Danica is more than a little exhausted navigating a long-standing family feud where Gram thinks the only good mundane is a dead one and Danica's mother weaves floral crowns for anyone who crosses her path.

Story
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.

For 400 years, the Warren witches have used their magic to quietly help the citizens of the sleepy New England town of Evenfall thrive. There's never been a problem they couldn't handle. But then Constance Graves - a local known for being argumentative and demanding - dies while staying at the bed and breakfast Brynn Warren maintains with her aunts. At first, it seems like an accident...but it soon becomes clear that there's something more sinister at work, and Aunt Nora is shaping up to be the prime suspect.

Sure, Vivi knows she shouldn’t use her magic this way, but with only an “orchard hayride” scented candle on hand, she isn’t worried it will cause him anything more than a bad hair day or two.

He’s satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly uncanny meals. But Fin’s secret identity doesn’t stay hidden for long. After all, it’s not every day a house witch and his kitten familiar, Kraken, take to meddling in imperial affairs.

Katarina Ashowan was not made for courtly life. Sure, her father is the famous house witch of Daxaria so she was raised among majestic castles, proper manners, and royal expectations. But Kat is also a mutated witch whose power aligns predominantly with fire. She’s more comfortable riding horses or learning to fight than she is making polite conversation and wearing fancy dresses. Which is why her upcoming assignment—serving her best friend, Alina, the soon-to-be crowned Troivackian queen—is anything but ideal.

Cadence "Cady" Bloomquist knows two things for sure: First, shelving books at her shop, Nevermore Bookstore, totally counts as cardio. Second, staying late every Thursday night to take a certain mysterious customer's order is not the same as waiting by the phone for some man. Until the calls with the man who identifies himself only as "Fox" last for hours, and become the highlight of her week. Which leaves her to wonder, if his velvet voice can kindle her fire over the phone, what sort of alchemy might it inspire if they met in person?

After a messy breakup that included way too much family feedback, Danica made a pact with her cousin: They'll keep their hearts protected and have fun, without involving any of the overly opinionated Waterhouse matriarchs. Danica is more than a little exhausted navigating a long-standing family feud where Gram thinks the only good mundane is a dead one and Danica's mother weaves floral crowns for anyone who crosses her path.

Could it possibly get any worse than having absolutely no magical abilities when you’re a member of the most powerful family of witches ever? It used to be that I’d say no, but then I keep getting set up on dates with Gil Connolly whose hotness is only matched by his ego. Seriously. I can’t stand him. Even if I also can’t stop thinking about him (specifically kissing him) but we’re going to pretend I never told you that part.

Mostly superficial
While I thought the character development was well done, the overall story was a little flat for me. The biggest problem presented (in my mind) was a Gladys (from Bewitched) type neighbor. And roughly 40% of the characters were a part of the LGTBQIA community... which is fine but it felt forced. Narrator was good.

Please continue this story with further books
I loved every bit of this story. The characters were fleshed out well. I loved the fact that there was such diversity, too. It’s a secret but, I’m a Witch, too. I love stories like this. I so hope that this story and all their adventures continue in several books. There are many more adventures to be told, please. Thank you for this grand story of tolerance.

Theme: Traditional Values Equal Misery
I liked the story of the budding romance between the two main characters. But every other character in the book teaches the lesson that traditional values lead to a limited and unfulfilled life. Only by throwing off the chains of traditional gender and sex do these characters find joy and fulfillment. The bi-curious grandma who left her husband to date another woman says, “I spent too many years in monogamy and need to make up for lost time by kissing lots of people.” The characters all rally together to rescue a young man outed as gay from his evangelical family, fearing that their disapproval of his gender dysphoria will cause irreparable damage to his mental health. Meanwhile, every character who isn’t celebrating a modern, woke world view is portrayed as living a forlorn existence without direction.

Very predictable
Great narration. Lots of time was spent building the characters. The story line was extremely predictable. I think that the author had planted a lot of ideas that she could have explored further that would have made the book much more exciting. Very monotonous in sections.

Hot mess with some charm
I gave this three stars (rounded up from 2.5) because I found some of the characters and the happy ending charming. BUT - it really didn’t earn it. In fact, I was close to DNF at about 25% in - and while I wouldn’t have missed out on anything good by stopping, it ended up OK.
Iris is down on her luck when she suddenly inherits a house from her great aunt, which is her opportunity to start again. To make things affordable she needs room mates, and ends up with a group of fellow misfits.
Eli is a successful app developer helping her grandmother, who also knows Iris from elementary school. He ends up becoming one of her room mates, which makes for an interesting dynamic.
There are a few things that really bothered me - the stalking, the absolute incoherence of the monetary system, and the loose ends everywhere. I can’t expand without spoilers, but there are characters and backgrounds mentioned with no payoff. And fairly major problems occasionally just disappear. Also for a book steeped in inclusion (which I LOVED), there were certain things where it was ditched in a way that was highly judgmental.
I grabbed this because it was on sale and books grouped with it as ‘people who like this also bought’ were ones I liked - so I expected ‘cozy fantasy’, and while it was to an extent it also kept forgetting what it actually was. So I give it half a point for inclusion, another for great found family themes, and another point for the quirky and engaging characters.

Not what I expected but definitely not disappointed
I was not expecting “fantasy” and almost gave up on it before chapter three but so glad I stuck with it. Iris is a very confused and weak person as we first start to get to know her and, unfortunately, she gets more confused and weak before things start to look up. The other characters she collects through the book are interesting and fun. Just read it!
