Sangu Mandanna

Mika Moon knows that witches need to be solitary or risk a rise in magical activity that would give them away and be a danger in a bigoted society. However, when a few adults who have been raising three young charges ask her to help them by teaching the girls magic, Mika finds herself drawn to the strange family at Nowhere House, despite the risks and a rather brisk Jamie, who doesn't trust her. Mika herself knows not to get close to others, too. After all, she'll just have to leave eventually - won't she?

A delightful cozy fantasy romance that hit the sweet spot for me to read during vacation. No, there's nothing particularly unexpected, but it was a fun romp and I loved Mika, Ian, Ken, Lucie, Jamie, and the girls Altamira, Terracotta and Rosetta. I'll definitely be looking for more by Mandanna.… (mais)
