Beschreibung des Verlags
Welcome to the coziest house on the block—where misfits become family, magic lingers in the walls, and healing comes in the most unexpected forms.
Iris Collins doesn’t believe in plans. As a self-declared chaos bunny with a track record of unfinished dreams, she’s never been the reliable one in the family. But when she inherits a quaint purple Victorian in the quirky town of St. Claire, she seizes the chance to start over—on her terms.
Her grand idea? Turn the rambling house into a haven for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite belong. And maybe even a mysterious man from Iris’s past who seems too good to be true.
What begins as a leap of faith quickly becomes something extraordinary: a chosen family built on kindness, second chances, and a little bit of everyday magic.
Perfect for fans of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and Payback’s a Witch, this is a heartwarming standalone from Ann Aguirre’s beloved Fix-It Witches universe.
If you’ve ever longed for a place to call home, this purple house is waiting for you.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Aguirre spins off her Fix-It Witches series in this sparkling standalone paranormal rom-com. At 27, Iris Collins feels like a disaster. She's at odds with her psychic vampire family—all of whom have exceptional powers that Iris doesn't share—and months behind on rent. When she inherits a shabby old Victorian house from her great-aunt, she sees it as both an opportunity to turn her life around and a terrifying chance to screw things up on an even larger scale. As she moves in and rents out rooms to the other town misfits, she realizes that having people dependent on her makes the stakes of her mistakes higher than ever. Enter wealthy shape-shifter Eli Reese, in town to help his grandmother sell her house. It was supposed to be a short trip, but when his childhood crush, Iris, mistakes him for a potential lodger, he decides to stick around, aiming to help her maintain the house and thus secretly pay back a debt she doesn't even realize he owes. Along the way, Iris and Eli find both love and family. The quirky and colorful cast is easy to invest in, and though the climactic moments feel melodramatic, the love story rings true. Aguirre's fans will be enchanted.
