A witch and her young ward discover a magical, walking house and learn the true meaning of home in this cozy, enchanting novel from New York Times bestselling author Jaleigh Johnson.
Evelyn Sharpe is accustomed to dealing with natural disasters as a land witch, but she longs for a life with a little less danger for her and her adopted daughter, Ruby. So when the opportunity to take over as Caretaker of Thornwood House—a sentient home that acts as the magical heart of the village of Iskendra—arises, it seems almost fated.
When they arrive in sunny Iskendra, Evie and Ruby find the house is nothing like what they First of all, it has walked away from the address. Thornwood House is also grumpy, guarded, and extremely hesitant to allow the two witches through its doors.
Armed with gentle hearts and wild magic, Evie and Ruby begin to form tentative bonds with the house and the citizens of the small town. But there’s something deeply damaged about the building seeping into the forests surrounding Iskendra, and Evie will have to use all her power to protect the roots she’s started to grow.

Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
This lovely, cozy fantasy is the perfect read by the pool or snuggled up by a fire. Evelyn is a land witch, working for a big organization while she fosters a young witch named Ruby. But when the organization tried to deny her request to adopt, Evie takes another job as a caretaker for a sentient house is a small town, removing the reason for the rejection. But when she gets there, she finds a bigger problem that she was led to believe. For one, the house has up and left and Evie and Ruby will have to find it, help it, and convince it to bond with Evie so they can stay together.
This one drug a lot in the middle for me, but overall, it was a sweet story that I enjoyed. I loved the house and how it protected Ruby and Evie.

Thanks for the DRC, PRH — absolutely immaculate vibes. It’s giving The House in the Cerulean Sea meets Sangu Mandanna. Delightful. 10/10 no notes.
Evie Sharpe and her 11-year-old ward Ruby travel to Iskendra so Evie can assume a position as caretaker to a sentient house. Thornwood House is grieving the death of its previous longtime caretaker, and there’s something sinister afoot, although it takes Evie a hot minute to realize it.
Brimming with lush, cozy, cottagecore vibes, peopled with vibrant characters and fully fleshed out backstories, this book was like a warm cup of tea on a cold winter’s night. Decadent and lovely and unexpectedly emotional. We love a found family! We love heists! We love incredible world building!

Received a complimentary copy of The Reimagining of Thornwood House, by Jaleigh Johnson, from Berkley Publishing Group | Ace/NetGalley, for which I am appreciative, in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Either this book was a sleeping pill in written form, or My Beloved Husband roofied the baked sweet potato I had for lunch today. Because I passed out drooling, repeatedly, trying to read it stone cold sober in the light of day.
It was sweet, and definitely cozy…..to the point of Kozy. Felt more like a book for middle-schoolers than old ladies—even ones like me, who are big fans of sentient houses and trees.

4 stars
This was a really lovely cozy book. The premise sounded interesting and fun but I was scarcely prepared for just how easy it was to get sucked in. I read nearly half of it in the first sitting and read great chunks of it every chance I had to sit down with it afterward.
I really loved the worldbuilding in this one. It felt as if a very great deal of thought had gone into the world and the magic. All of this was explained in ways that made it incredibly interesting to read and somehow added to the cozy feel. This book is a sitting by the fire on the rainy day kind of cozy, and reading it a nice little hug for the spirit. But while I sometimes find cozy books just a little bit -too- cozy this one managed to have some tension and mystery and stakes without losing that warm feel.
The main character and her daughter were very interesting characters it was easy to love and care about them from the beginning but the house itself was every bit as much of the story. It was very much a character in its own right and for something that cannot really speak that was impressively conveyed. I loved Thornwood House as much as the characters loved it. There is a romance here too, but it is gentle and rather background to the rest. I still enjoyed it too.
Overall this was a delight of a book. There's a mystery or two to unravel and a few surprises both pleasant and unpleasant. It's warm and gentle and easy to read and enjoy. And I would definitely read another book set in this world or simply by this author. I definitely suggest this one as a cozy escape and I'll be thinking about a few parts of it for a while to come. An excellent four star comforting read.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving the opportunity to enjoy this story of found family and fantasy. I'll be honest, that I tend to only request books I think I'm going to like. The premise of the book was interesting, and I love when structures are given sentience. In fact, the house was the best character.
However, the protagonist, Evelyn Sharpe - Evie-, was just fine. I like that she was getting a few things wrong at the start, but if there was danger to her, I never really felt it. The issues with the ERCA were not bad, just not compelling. The mystery surrounding the house and the wood was engaging, but the structure of the magic system felt underdeveloped. We’re told about memories and history through fragments and half-recollections, yet the deeper roots of the magic are missing—or at least unclear—unless I overlooked them.
I also wasn’t entirely sure who the intended audience was. At times it seemed geared toward readers in their early twenties, like the protagonist, but other moments gave it a middle grade feel.
Overall, it’s a perfectly fine book. It has charm, and I genuinely love the concept. I just didn’t feel a strong pull to keep reading, and it was easy for me to set it aside. I suspect it will resonate much more with the right reader.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
I'm definitely on something of a cozy, cottagecore kick at the moment, and this gem of a book checked all the boxes for me. Everything about this book felt like a nostalgic warm hug, one I loved enough that it repeatedly forced its way to the tippy-top of my TBR pile.
The book reminds me of Naomi Novik's Uprooted, to an extent I would be shocked to discover the author had never read Novik's Uprooted and that the references were entirely coincidental. Anyone who has read Uprooted, seriously picture that book but instead of also-awesomely-written heartrending bitter sweet pain, a warm salve and a cup of much-needed tea instead. Which is just what I needed at the moment.
Like many people in today's crazy, crazy world, I needed that. I needed this book in my life right now.
I'm also reading (and will go back to reading now that I finished this which I liked *slightly* more) The Keeper of Magical Things, the sequel to The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong. If you're a fan of that series, I would also highly recommend this book as well. It has the same small magics can do great things feel to it, along with found family and just all of the cozy feels.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
What brought me in was a living house on chicken legs, like that of Baba Yaga. What kept me was the world building, of a place with living houses, though rare, and how one has to bond with them, to keep them healthy.
This is being called a cozy fantasy, which usually means there is no great danger or adventure, and perhaps there wasn’t, but there was danger none the less. The house is dying, and Evie has to figure out how to nurse it back to health, so that she and her adopted daughter, Ruby, can live there. She wants to use her land magic to be used for good, rather than how it was used in the city.
This is such a delightful story that drew me in from the start, and made me care about Evie and Ruby and even the living house itself.
Well worth your time, either reversing it from the library, or putting a pre-order in for it. All the stars, throughout the book.
Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group for making this book available for an honest review. This book will be released on the 9th of June 2026.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Oh my gosh! I adore this story. I want more! This is such a delightful story about two people, Evie and her young ward Ruby, brought together by circumstance and wanting to make themselves a family. Along the way they are hampered in their attempt by Evie's employer; ECRA. You see, Evie and Ruby are witches and the ECRA, doesn't want to lose Evie or the oversight of her ward.
Evie is tired of the danger she is in when working for ECRA, so when she sees and advert for a caretaker of a sentient house, she jumps at the chance to make a home with Ruby far away from the city and ECRA. This is their journey of discovery and finding a place "that sings" to their hearts.
This is a beautifully written story that kept me turning the pages. The characters are wonderful. The world the author created is so, well ... magical!

Review of advance copy received from Goodreads Giveaways
This was a 2.5 at best for me. Why round up? Because my preteen picked it up, started reading, and went, "oh look, someone wrote a cozy for my age!" and was thrilled.
This is a middle grade novel at best and adult me was bored but finished it. My kiddo, on the other hand, saw it sitting on the pile on my desk waiting for me to get around to posting a review, got excited by the "leg house" and snatched it. So I waited to write this review until she finished. She was thrilled that it was written on her level with themes she could appreciate.
So. If you're getting this for a youngling, you're probably spot on, but this is absolutely not an adult cozy, which is unfortunate, because that was what I was expecting going into it. It's shallow, it's surface level, but it does appeal to kids. That said, I 100000% would not have entered this giveaway if I had known it was a kid book.

This was the sweetest book ever! It’s a super cozy fantasy with a gorgeous woodsy setting, a sentient house, and a lovable witchy mother and adopted daughter duo. I absolutely loved the sentient house storyline - Evie takes a position as caretaker of a house in a remote village after the previous witch dies, and it turns out to be a much bigger job than she anticipated. Like, the house literally gets up and runs away.
This story is full of love of all kinds - romantic, familial, friendship, love for the earth, and the love of a community. I loved the magical elements, the nature descriptions, the mystery, and the whole cast of characters. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a magical heartwarming story about finding your people and your purpose.

Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
I quite enjoyed this book. Evie is quite the likable main character, and her relationship with Ruby is quite sweet. The lore around sentient houses is also quite interesting. It bothered me a bit that Ruby felt much younger than a supposed eleven year old. The romance in this book was sweet, but I could have used a bit more of it. I'm not a huge romance fan, but this one seemed too understated, though it was still quite believable. Some of the the side could have used more screentime, but I did enjoy the glimpses I got of them. Other than a few minor problems, the book was a delightful and cozy read.

This book was exactly what I am looking for in a cozy. I love that the author essentially reimagined “but what if
Babayaga’s house was like really sweet and helpful, but still had those chicken legs?” And did it beautifully. My favorite character was by far the house, with the young witch and her daughter providing a strong supporting cast. While there was a love interest, it was not the focus of the love in this book - with more emphasis on the bond between people and place, community, and a mother and daughter.
Highly recommend for friends who enjoyed A Secret Society of Irregular Witches or the Spell Shop series!

I rarely give 5 star ratings but this sweet, non-spicy fantasy novel really deserves it!
The writing is crisp, the characters and setting are beautifully detailed and the plot has plenty of twists and turns while still remaining hopeful and optimistic. There is a touch of romance and a HEA. Fans of the works of KM Shea will enjoy this book. While this book seems to be a standalone, I’m now looking forward to reading other books by this author!

An absolute delight -- has that combination of characters growing into their power and finding a place to thrive that is just catnip to me right now. I love the sentient house, the new mother-daughter bond that is forming, the different types of magic. I particularly enjoyed the magical plants and the community members. Has enough conflicts and resolutions to keep a reader engaged, and enough imagination to dream with.

Cute and creative, "The Reimagining of Thornwood House" is well-written and clever, though it does drag a wee bit in parts. A quick read and fun story with likable characters, my favorite was actually the house. A light, cozy fantasy, I would recommend it to fans of the genre. My copy of this book came from a Goodreads giveaway, and I appreciate the opportunity to read and review this lovely book. I also love the cover.

LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! What a gorgeous gorgeous read. I love the setting-small town-the house is a character-it literally runs away into the woods-a cute meet cute romance. I just cannot. Thanks to Netgalley for the E-ARC of this book. I really needed this in my life right now. I can't wait to see if there is going to be more!!!
Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
This was a lovely, cozy read, and I did enjoy it and recommend it to anyone in the mood for a cozy fantasy, I just didn't love it quite as much as other cozy fantasies. I loved the house as a character, and I kind of wish we'd gotten a little bit more of the house's story.

The Reimaging of Thornwood House
by Jaleigh Johnson
This was such a wonderful book to read! It has a land witch and her foster witch going to bond and care for a sentient house. The house's witch just passed, and it needs a new one to keep its magic and upkeep. When they get there, the house is gone! It literally sprouted legs and walked off.
That was just the start of the two witches' adventures. They have to ease the house's broken heart, earn its trust, figure out what is draining it's magic, and restore it. Then bond with it or they lose the job and each other!
The whole book is magic! I loved everything about it. I loved the characters, plot, world-building, and dialogue.
I want to thank the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read this wonderful book.
