Michael Dalton weaves an interesting steamy science/occult story and populates it with fun characters

From the blurb: “Jimmy Kaplan has a hard enough time staying on top of his graduate studies in Chemical Engineering and dealing with the death of his quirky, cantankerous grandmother, who raised him from childhood.”

Jimmy Kaplan is juggling graduate studies and grief—until his late, quirky grandmother’s secret life as a sorceress flips his world upside down. Blending chemical engineering with spellcraft, Jimmy steps into a lighthearted occult world filled with demons, desire, and academic chaos. It’s campus life with conjurations and curves.

The harem dynamic is believable and fun, with the women connecting not just to Jimmy but to each other. Dalton makes it sing with a wink and a flame.

👉 For a similarly diverse (and steamy) companion ensemble, Prospector Finch has you covered.

All in all a fun steamy science/occult read.
