The Willful Inheritor

Vacancy, Book 3

De: A. K. Caggiano

Narrado por: Ellen Quay

Hiding out in the charmed world has its perks: fae do your laundry, doors can lead to other dimensions, and the dragons are only pigeon-sized. But the downsides to magic are rearing their monstrous heads at Lorelei Fischer. With the deed found and the mysteries around the bewitching bed and breakfast nearly unraveled, Moonlit Shores Manor is finally under new management. But that management has magically-induced amnesia with an expiration date, and when the clouds around his past have cleared, the new boss will be nether-bent on devastation.

Tasked with brewing a potion to destroy the new owner, Lorelei and her coworkers must collect rare components from across the charmed world while maintaining normalcy—whatever that means—for the manor’s guests. But with a lovesick lycan, an uncharacteristically shifty elf, and an enemy turned questionable ally on staff, Lorelei finds juggling her coworkers just as complicated as dealing with the boss who, up until very recently, had been delighted with the thought of killing her.

And Lorelei’s fear of being outed as human has only grown when it comes to Conrad. Her almost romance with the snarky warlock is suspended between her desire to be totally honest and her much deeper desire to just tackle him and get it over with. Every step taken together to save the manor brings them that much closer, but whether it’s to a devastating truth or a fairytale ending, only magic seems to know.

I stay for the quirky cozy characters..

This is such a fun delightful fantastical series. These characters are so cozy and quirky. I really just love all of them, including the sentient manor. I did think as the final book it dragged a bit, and the secret human aspect was a bit drawn out. I did wish for a little more romance focus based around Conrad and Lore. I just loved their dynamic. But otherwise I enjoyed per usual. I just really love Caggiano’s writing. And Quay is lovely to listen too. I definitely recommend this series for entertainment, especially the audio version.

You'll want a warm cup of tea with this!

I love A. K. Caggiano - she writes in such an immersive, clever, funny, and cozy way. I found this series to be the perfect autumn series to listen to. I loved the elements of mystery, and the charming and unique cast of characters at the hotel. It was such a clever, fun world to be pulled into. My only qualm is sometimes the pacing felt a little slow, but that also added to the cozy factor. All in all, a wonderful series!
