Ann Aguirre's The Only Purple House in Town
This was VERY cute, definitely for fans for Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. It centers on a young woman from a family of psychic vampires, except she’s never figured out her own powers, and her family judges her for not living up to her overachieving older sisters. And her love interest is a dude who’s a were-hawk who had a crush on her when they were little kids! Things kick off when she inherits her great-aunt's house and decides to rent out the rooms, and he takes one, along with a fun cast of other characters. (The main couple is straight but all the other characters are queer in some capacity, including several elderly people.) So there is a romance, and it’s sweet (until the inevitable last stage annoying disagreement), but this is just as much about the found family vibes, which I loved. GREAT characters, very fun. A-.
