Howl's Moving Castle fans this is for you. Sentient Houses , Grumpy Demons. A girl struggling with a magic that has only caused her pain finds a house deep in the demon woods. She makes a deal with the Demon Warden....be his servant for a year and he will grant her wish of being normal. I went into this book thinking it was just going to be another Beauty and the Beast retellings but it was so much more. I hope everyone takes a chance to read this authors debut novel and I can't wait to read more of her work
