Fresh off a bad breakup, Isobel discovers more and more about herself and her ex the longer that she’s away from him. The first thing is that her grandma passed away and willed her a house, but her ex has been destroying all contact her estate tries to make with her. Only… there’s a catch: the house has personality, and she has a month to fix it up or she loses the place. It’s a great discovery given she’s homeless and leaving everything she owned behind. The second thing is that she’s an extremely powerful witch, which may come in handy with the house and the sexy werewolf she’s rooming with while she works on her house.
I absolutely loved this book. We follow Isobel and her grumpy werewolf roomie, Rafe. They’re two totally different types of characters, so it’s fun to watch them interact. Isobel is like a ray of sunshine while Rafe is lonely and grumpy. I loved following the two of them while Isobel rediscovers herself and learns that she’s capable of so much more than her ex made her believe. Meanwhile, Rafe has been a loner for a long time. Between the curse that made him forget everyone important to him and the grumpiness that followed, he’s been alone with a massive hole in his life for a long time.
While each of the books in the series can be read in whatever order you want, you do see the main characters from the previous books. It was nice to see them again even though some of it felt really awkward. It was interesting how they each played into this story in their own ways while giving very little away about their respective books.
Overall, I really loved the entire book. We have the small mystery about the house with its own personality, the mystery behind Rafe and the curse that stole a huge part of his life, and Isobel rediscovering herself and finding a ton of self-confidence. There’s some fun new supporting characters that I really liked, especially Isobel’s sassy familiar. There aren’t any hints about a fourth book coming, but it would be fun to see a character who isn’t a powerful witch lead a future book.
