I dunno....that was kind of...bad? Maybe unoriginal is a better word. At 2.5x speed on audio, it was palatable; I'm pretty sure I would have skimmed parts if I was reading physically. I did love the idea of a slow burn romance, the introduction of puppy, of little old lady who knows her mysteries, of the potential of fixing up an old property and getting more involved with the community, 1/4

Robotswithpersonality 2/4 even a main character who's bad at life-preserving decisions and at lying. 🤦🏼‍♂️ There's actually the possibility that if I treat this whole book as a prologue, I could like the next in the series a lot more. There are a fair amount of easy shortcut stereotypes/two dimensional/brief descriptions in the characters introduced, 1mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/4 but if I think of it as a Harlequin romance with a mystery twist, it's not any worse than a lot of books I read in my late teens/early twenties. For those who, like me, find it kind of shady, heads up that this M/M romance is not own voices rep as it is written by a woman under a pen name. 🙄 1mo
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 Not to disparage some truly wonderful writing I have encountered in that space, but finding out the author previously wrote fanfic, is not surprising. If you're looking for a few hours of brain off diversion, you might enjoy it. 1mo
rwmg Yeah, I've always found her books to be rather bland but OK for when I want something where no brain power is needed. I wasn't particularly surprised when I found out that she is a woman but I did not like the fact that quite apart from the male pen-name, she had actively tried to deny she was a woman and pass herself off as a gay man. 1mo
Robotswithpersonality @rwmg Yikes! The back story emerges and it is icky! 1mo

A mysterious inheritance of a haunted house. A killer able to steal spells out of any magician. Merritt & Hilda find themselves trapped between these two stories.

Slow beginning, & a bit confusing at first w/ split timelines, but I love Holmberg‘s historical settings! They feel so real & grounded. & her magic systems are so creative! This is also a romance that I rooted for! The relationship grew naturally, & I loved watching it. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I‘m reading a nonfiction book in each state and this was for Rhode Island. It was an absolute gossipy delight! I did not know all the history of the rich & famous in Newport and every short chapter was full of trivia. I highly recommend this if you enjoy the show Gilded Age. It covers a wider time period, but starts with a focus on many of the show‘s main characters. Thanks to @BkClubCare for the wonderful book!
