A heartwarming and humorous blend of fantasy, romance, and mystery featuring a witch with domestic powers and the royal household he serves . . . dinner. When Finlay Ashowan joins the staff of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he's an enigma. No one knows where he comes from or how he came to be where he is, which suits Fin just fine. He's satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly uncanny meals. But Fin's secret identity doesn't stay hidden for long. After all, it's not every day a house witch and his kitten familiar, Kraken, take to meddling in imperial affairs. As his powers are gradually discovered by the court, Fin finds himself involved in a slew of intrigues: going head-to-head with knights with less-than-chivalrous intentions, helping to protect the pregnant queen, fending off the ire of the royal mage, and uncovering a spy in the castle. And that's only the beginning-because Fin's past is catching up with him just as his love life is getting complicated . . . Filled with fascinating characters, courtly intrigue, political machinations, delicious cuisines, cuddly companions, magical hijinks, and will-they-won't-they romance, The House Witch is the first in a captivating new series, guaranteed to satisfy the tastes of any reader. The first volume of the hit romantic-fantasy series-with more than a million views on Royal Road-now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

I really wanted to like this book. At the beginning, I was really feeling the “cozy fantasy” vibes, but it got really boring really quickly. I just couldn't care for any of the characters, and I felt like the plot was all over the place. I bought the audio + ebook combo, and if it wasn't for the audiobook, I couldn't have finished it! I thought this was going to be like “Legends and Lattes”, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but sadly, it's of a much lower quality overall. I won't be continuing with the series :(
