I expected a light read about a small town & their amateur detective who is a librarian with some supernatural elements. Which is what I got but with a twist thrown in. An enjoyable read, really loved the cat.

Low pick. This is my second Nghi Vo book and I love the way she writes. Lots of other reviews have pointed to this being very vibe based - and that‘s both a strength and a weakness - loved watching a city rise, fall and rise again over a large span of years but the weakness is that there isn‘t really a character that you grow to care deeply about.
This was so cute! Funny@and self deprecating with a tiny dash of danger and a fun mystery.
Not my favourite Nghi Vo, but it might have been more the audiobook narrator‘s voice that had me drifting off more often than not. Dreamy beautiful writing, but I didn't feel attached to the characters. If you like classical mythology and immortal, larger than life characters, you'll probably enjoy this more than I did.
Cozy mystery, demons, set in a library and the possibility of more books = love all around especially for @AmyG for gifting this book to me
Friday night: a new book from @AmyG to read together, fresh tulips that my husband brought home, a gin&tonic made by husband, salt & vinegar chips ( best kind) and I think the snow has finally gone for good
