This is a cozy heist story about five octogenarian witches trying to save their beloved manor.

It features a lovable cast of characters, including a teen TikToker who aids the witches in unexpected ways. This is a found family story unlike any other; it’s funny and tender while addressing topics like sexism, power, and secrets.

It holds a special place in my heart, and I know I’ll be coming back to it for a hug in book form time and time again.
