Synopsis (Goodreads):
The Garden Gnome Bed and Breakfast might be a new kooky weekend getaway spot, but for Lily Goode it’s the inheritance is the promise of a stable future for her and her siblings. Unfortunately, the house isn’t the only thing she’s inherited. The Bed and Breakfast also comes equipped with witchy Aunt Polly, troublesome garden gnomes, a town that hates her, newfound magical powers that misfire, and a werewolf boyfriend she shouldn’t have asked to move in with her.

But when a guest is found dead during her grand opening, Lily knows she has to solve the mystery of what happened before the B&B is closed forever.

Lucky for her Aunt Polly is here to help save the day.

Welcome to Lucky Valley, Colorado, where nothing is quite what it seems.
Thoughts on Any Witch Way but Goode: Okay, I don't love Lily's family (they're kind of gently slacking freeloaders, for the most part), but I totally understand the underlying issues that make them act the way they act. On the plus side, they managed to grow up to be (mostly) contributing members of society and considering the things their mother put them through that's a total win. (To be fair in that regard, we haven't yet met the one sister, so maybe she's battier than a bucket of screws. I dunno. Only time will tell with that.)

Also to be fair, part of the problem lies with Lily. She avoids issues she doesn't want to deal with and isn't great about communicating and, honestly, she seems like she's just waiting for Nolan to decide she's not worth the trouble and leave her high and dry. Which is a not so great mental place to be in when you've invited the dude into your house and decided to go halfsies on a new business.

For a guy who turns into a ravening beast once a month, Nolan's pretty understanding of Lily's idiosyncrasies. And once he sees exactly why she does some of the things she does, he's even more understanding. What can I say? I like the guy.

A little murder, a little mayhem, a little magic. Good stuff.
