Synopsis
Riley Denton-Everett has drifted through jobs and relationships without ever landing anywhere. A message telling her she is a Denton, and that she belongs on Starfall Point, brings her to a small island town and a historic house left to her by an aunt she barely knew — a house whose antiques come with their previous owners still attached.
The ghosts are only part of it. Riley learns that the Denton women have been witches for generations, and that their magic is what stands between the living residents of Starfall Point and everything else. Meanwhile Edison Held, the local librarian, is campaigning to have the mansion opened to the public, entirely unaware of who is already living in it.
Molly Harper's series opener is paranormal romantic comedy in her usual register: ghost-heavy, joke-heavy, and warm about small towns and the found family you inherit with the property.
