The Only Purple House in Town

By Ann Aguirre

Book Overview

Welcome to the coziest house on the block--where misfits become family, magic lingers in the walls, and healing comes in the most unexpected forms.

Iris Collins doesn't believe in plans. As a self-declared chaos bunny with a track record of unfinished dreams, she's never been the reliable one in the family. But when she inherits a quaint purple Victorian in the quirky town of St. Claire, she seizes the chance to start over--on her terms.

Her grand idea? Turn the rambling house into a haven for anyone who's ever felt like they didn't quite belong. A cranky vampire with a secret past. A werewolf with anxiety. A ghost with unresolved issues. And maybe even a mysterious man from Iris's past who seems too good to be true.

What begins as a leap of faith quickly becomes something extraordinary: a chosen family built on kindness, second chances, and a little bit of everyday magic.

Perfect for fans of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and Payback's a Witch, this is a heartwarming standalone from Ann Aguirre's beloved Fix-It Witches universe.

If you've ever longed for a place to call home, this purple house is waiting for you.

Customer Reviews

Forced myself to finish the book

It was engaging for the first couple of chapters. The plot felt cozy, long, and drawn out for pages and pages and then it felt like a rush for the ending. It felt as though she didn't know where it was going or how she wanted it to end, and just sort of grasped at straws and crammed an ending in just to be done writing. The ending just didn't match the theme of the whole story so it was just unsatisfying, and the resolution was cheap. The "love story" was a slow burn that builds and then just fizzles, doesn't even get good. The characters were great, but I am disappointed. Some of the writing also felt forced and awkward and I found myself getting so annoyed.
