pickSurprised, but in a good way.
Loved the humour, the serial killer vibes and discussions, the two social weirdos finding each other; the secondary characters were fleshed out, and there were a couple of twists I actually did not see coming.

It's been some time since I read a book that pulled me into the story so much that I forgot I was reading about fictional characters. Yes, sure, it's unlikely I'll meet a speaking fox in my life and there might not be real magic out there, but all the characters felt very real. Believable backstories, believable problems and struggles.
I want to visit Batty Hole Inn and hug all of them.

I was lucky to get an #audiobook ARC for the 12th Lady Hardcastle Mystery, Pub Day 6th May.
Do I read the books for the cosy mystery? No. I'm here for all the characters and the banter, especially between Maid Florence Armstrong and Lady Hardcastle. I was absolutely not disappointed. Loved every minute of the story and the audiobook!

pickLiked the locked-room mystery, the gothic atmosphere and the MM romance.
The magic system could have benefited from more explanation.

It might be Christmas in April. Four books I wanted to read and thought I'd never be approved for. 😁😁😁

panI did not dig Digging Dr Jones. Not at all.
I'm not going to write a TLDR post. Here are a few points why it didn't work for me:
- flat characters
- insta-lust
- mediocre adventure plot
- American FMC with daddy issues
- British MMC who just inserts random British words here and there but isn't consistently British at all

pickA historical fiction novel with gothic mystery elements set at the time of the French Revolution.
There are three points of view, the sisters Sofi and Lara and the aristocratic young woman Hortense. While Sofi and Lara's POV is that of working class women who had to upend their lives after the death of their father, Hortense is the poster child spoilt young woman of the aristocracy, who believes the dirty peasants ⬇️
