A nice cozy/ slice of life book. Caitlin Rozakis did such a great job with the pace and showing the relationships (romance, friendship, etc) without having to tell the reader.
I read it for my library‘s #bookchallenge and for #r/fantasy bingo. It is fulfilling the “cozy” prompt for both.
I hope there are more set in this universe! 5/5 stars

pickFor the most part this felt more like a mysterious RomCom than a Thriller, never the less I enjoyed each minute of it. I honestly think it's the full cast - especially Dolly Parton and Kelsea Ballerini - that made it so likeable.
It's a quaint story and if you won't mind the that the thrilling part only comes way at the end, I would definitely recommend listening to the Audiobook.
pickThe book lost a quarter of a star because the writing is clunky in places, but I loved it and will be continuing the series. I especially liked the historical and pop culture references.

pickSome of the magic from the previous books eluded me in this one.
It was still incredibly tense, distressing, and harrowing.
However, most of the twists I foresaw this time around. I wasn't as taken aback by the events as I was with the previous two books.
Still, I'm anxiously trying to make time to read the next book.

so-soI am a big Magnus fan and I've been waiting for this Malec story for what feels like forever. But I was disappointed with the plot, it just didn't feel believable and it was so predictable.
I did enjoy the characters showing a different side than usual, Magnus being vulnerable and Alec growing into his confidence with their relationship
When your library hold comes in JUST as you arrive home from knee surgery and will be on the couch for several days. Libby for the win! 🥇 🙌🏼
pickJenna Murphy believes Noah has been incorrectly charged with murder. He#r side investigations earn her a suspension and later a demotion. But, she‘s still convinced this case ties in with a string of others, especially after her uncle is killed. Too many town secrets have allowed a killer to hide in plain sight. Gruesome.
so-soAlmost done, I swear!
This one I didn't care for as much as the others. The story is one you've heard a million times: a group finds a stash of hidden cash, everyone turns on each other other, group get paranoid about the robber that hid the money, chaos ensues. This one has a very Stine-esque twist though that I really didn't need and a scene I could have lived without
