From the New York Times bestselling author Ann Aguirre comes the enchanting town of St. Claire, where anything is possible.

Iris Collins, the messy one in her family, is known as the chaos bunny. Her sisters are all incredibly successful, while Iris struggles to balance her budget for a single month. It's no wonder she's in debt to her roommates. When Iris unexpectedly inherits a house from her great aunt, her plan to turn it into a B&B fails, as most of her plans do. She ends up renting rooms like a Victorian spinster, collecting other lost souls, and not all of them are human.

Eli Reese, on the other hand, grew up as the nerdy outcast in school but has since made a name for himself in the tech industry as a successful app designer. He's achieved wealth and success by any standard, but he's never found a true sense of community or connection with others. Over the years, he's never forgotten his first crush, and when he spots her at a café, he takes it as a sign. However, Eli gets sucked into the Iris-verse and somehow ends up renting one of her B&B rooms.

As the days pass, Eli grows enchanted by the misfit boarders staying in the house, and he becomes even more captivated by Iris. Could Eli have finally found a person and a place to call home?

The town of St. Claire is a magical place where anything is possible. Iris and Eli's stories intertwine as they navigate their way through the town's quirks and secrets. They discover that their differences may be their greatest strengths and that true love can be found in the most unexpected places.

In conclusion, Ann Aguirre's "The House of Lost Souls" is a captivating and enchanting tale that will leave readers longing for more. The town of St. Claire is a magical place where anything is possible, and Iris and Eli's stories are a testament to the power of love and connection.
