Only 60 pages in, but it feels like I found a hidden gem here. I stumbled across this series last night and can't put book 1 down. I'm enthralled with the gritty portrayal of an alternate world where cryptids live among us, but after an event called The Reaping, are now feared and have been reduced to abused carnival attractions.
pickI‘m working on playing catch up with my subscription books. Just finished this series a little while ago and absolutely loved it. My only complaint was that I wished there was even more bone magic than what we got. I loved the relationship and how Lennox held Rogan accountable for his actions.

Smoke Hunter is the novel that Benson turned into The Raiders of the Arcana series. I'm nosy and want to know what the story looked like.
The heat rippling over the surface of Charity Marlow‘s blacktop driveway was one hundred twelve degrees.

Started this because I love the tagline ("be gay, solve crime, take naps") and it all sounded fun (and of course it's on my #BookSpinBingo card), but I'm not entirely sure if it's for me. Not sure what's bothering me, just... vibes. I'm cognisant that it's longer than 400 pages, so I might just be getting daunted due to most of my reading being significantly shorter than that. Silly, but it's a thing that does happen to me these days.
pickI 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.

pickDina hosts a (not so peaceful) peace summit at the inn.
Honestly this series is so odd. I like Dina. Andrews always do a good job with their FMCs (not pushovers, but not bristly for no reason, never the sole powerful female, never a Mary Sue, like actual people but with powers) I‘m not 1000% sold on it exactly but I‘m left pretty curious. The chef made this one for me.

pickI enjoyed reading this book. It reminded me of an adult version of Twilight. It was a lot better. I rated the book a 3 out of 5 stars.
