Fantasy & SciFi
Divorced, desperate, and destitute, former restaurateur Defiance Dayne finds out she has been bequeathed a house by a complete stranger. She is surprised, to say the least, and her curiosity gets the better of her. She leaves her beloved Phoenix and heads to one of the most infamous towns in America: Salem, Massachusetts.
She's only there to find out why a woman she's never met would leave her a house, a veritable castle that has seen better days. The lawyer assigned to the case practically begs her to take it off her hands, mostly because she's scared of it. The inanimate structure that, as far as Dephne can tell, has never hurt a fly.
Though it does come with some baggage. A pesky neighbor who wants her gone. A scruffy cat who's a bit of a jerk. And a handyman bathed in ink who could moonlight as a supermodel for GQ.
She decides to give it three days, and not because of the model. She feels at home in Salem. Safe. But even that comes to a screeching halt when people begin knocking on her door day and night, begging for her help to locate their lost objects.
Come to find out, they think she's a witch. And after a few mysterious mishaps, Dephne is beginning to wonder if they're right.

Litt langtekkelig på noen steder, men boken i seg selv er så bra at jeg har lyst til å starte med bok 2 med en gang.

I’m sorry to say this, because there are some actually good ideas and witty remarks buried in there.It reads more like a fanfiction than what one expects from an actual book. The pacing makes it feel like the author had no idea what was going to happen next. Some of the better side plots were abruptly finished and a lot is just left unsolved (awkwardly even for a series)The main character is supposed to be a middle aged lady, but acts more like a teenager. One example of this is when her friend treated to prank call her school crush?The main character also behaves quite juvenile to anyone she perceives as authority (family) and they treat as if she is a perturbed teenager.The way she keeps procrastinating drove me mad and bored simultaneously. This is also a sign of problematic pacing. Honestly, more than half of the book is the character acting horny and procrastinating, with a little action squeezed in at the end.
