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 protect a found family she didn’t know she was looking for....

Rezension von JoanneA very cozy autumnal read!
Rezension von Sofia Cozy witch book with little drama (in a good way). Great characters. It took me a bit longer to read.
Rezension von Alexandra dONett aber nicht mehr. Erinnerte mich sehr an dr parnassus aber eben doch nicht ganz auf einer Länge. Mal im Urlaub als leichte Lektüre kann man das sicherlich machen
Rezension von HannaEs ist schon lange her, dass ich ein Buch so schnell durchgelesen habe. Es war einfach Entspannung pur! Spannend genug, dass ich weiterlesen wollte, aber nicht so spannend, dass ich Herzrasen bekommen hätte. Super sympathische, mitunter ulkige Charaktere ohne große moralischen Dilemma, die aber am Ende doch recht oberflächlich bleiben; cosy vibes und found family. Einiges an der Geschichte war vielleicht vorhersehbar, doch da ich das Buch schnell gelesen habe, hatte ich gar nicht so viel Zeit, mir Gedanken darüber zu machen … Worum es geht? Darüber muss ich jetzt nach über zwei Wochen schon etwas länger nachdenken: Hexen leben alleine, denn wenn mehrere von ihnen zusammenkommen lassen sich die magischen Kräfte nur schwer kontrollieren und sie würden zu viel Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen. Trotzdem nimmt Mika Moon den Auftrag an, drei jungen Hexen, die versteckt im abgelegenen Nowhere House aufwachsen, dabei zu helfen, den Umgang mit ihren Kräften zu erlernen. Sie wird von (fast) allen mit offenen Armen empfangen und erfährt zum ersten Mal, was Gemeinschaft und Zusammenhalt wirklich bedeuten. Doch Erinnerungen an ihre eigene, einsame Kindheit kommen hoch und die Frage, was passieren würde, sollte jemand vom Zusammenleben der Hexen erfahren, hängt wie ein Damoklesschwert über der Hausgemeinschaft … Ein Buch für alle, die einfach mal ein bisschen abschalten wollen – ohne großes Drama und mit Feelgood-Vibes.
