Mandrake Manor — Cozy Queer Fantasy (Henbane Hollow Book 1) | JP Rindfleisch IX
Inherited magic.
A secret neighborhood.
And... a formidable Homeowner's Association?
Recent graduate Mathias Mandrake never expected a Victorian manor—or the secret, supernaturally-charged neighborhood it comes with—to fall into his lap. Nor did he expect the undeniable attraction to the charming lawyer who handed over the keys. There's just one condition: Mat can't live there alone.
Good thing his best friend Frankie is ready to leave behind his lackluster trail of midnight trysts for a more suburban life. Eager to hone his dilf-hunting skills, his bags are packed and ready to go before Mat can finish signing the paperwork.
Completing their trio is August, who asked for exactly one thing: somewhere quiet enough to finally finish their novel. What they get instead is a sentient house, a secret grimoire, and the distinct impression that quiet is not a concept Henbane Hollow understands.
Think Charmed—but queerer, sassier, and with an HOA chairman who is absolutely not going to let magic ruin the property values.
Mandrake Manor is a found-family story packed with witchcraft, werewolves, budding romance, and unapologetic queer joy. Perfect for fans of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and Legends & Lattes. Book 1 of the Henbane Hollow Universe.
