Defiance Dayne is destitute and jobless due to her divorce.  She is surprised by an inheritance of a house in Salem Massachusetts.  She just wants to find out why she was left the house and get back to Phoenix to fix her life.  Instead she finds a house everyone is terrified of.  A lawyer begging her to stay and a handyman covered in tattoos.  She feels like this might just be the home she needs.  She feels safe and secure for the first time in a while.  Her peaceful nights ends when neighbors start asking her to locate missing objects which leads to her discovering she is a witch. 

 

I loved this book.  It’s pacing was spot on and I couldn’t put it down.  It was so funny too.  I wanted to know how the book ended so much that I ended up reading it in one sitting.  It was also interesting to see her come into her power.  Can’t wait to read the next book.
