Opening this kobo read while enjoying a final cozy evening on the back deck, we winterize it💨🥶 I‘m already sad🥺with the sense of loss, even though it‘s only for a few months.

Another satisfying instalment in the Lady Sherlock Series🤓📚

👻: 1

Sheriff Titus has his hands full with an anticipated march in support of a statue honoring a Confederate hero and likely counter protesters organized by a black preacher, when a bloodthirsty serial killer‘s evil deeds are discovered following a school shooting of everyone‘s favorite teacher. No simple solution to find the killer, and things get pretty twisted and bloody very quickly. And yet there are the most endearing moments between Titus & ⬇️

Merritt inherits a magical house that makes his life miserable. Thanks to a magical housekeeper, Hulda, the house is tamed. Merritt, Hulda, the house, and staff all start getting along charmingly until an evil magician desires to upend everything. Set in the mid-1800s, it often feels anachronistic but then magic isn‘t real either. With a touch of romance, this is a charming story and I‘ll plan to continue with the series.

This is supposed to be set in a British uni and yet nothing about it feels British. There are a few obvious things like eggplant rather than aubergine, cheerleaders being a common thing, but in general it doesn't feel British.

Also, I've never heard students talk the way they do. It's jarring.

There wasn't much to this book. The romance was fairly anaemic and the world wasn't really explored

The book starts with a lot of info dumping. It takes about 200 pages before anything happens. I kept going because I've heard how amazing it was.

For me, it did not improve. There was too much narration, hardly any dialogue, and I was bored.

My #BookSpin for this month is absolutely beautiful and I will be keeping it as part of my permanent collection. I will also definitely be rereading it at some point, especially the stories “The Splendid Cannibals“ and “The Woman Who Befriended Ghosts.“ #TrappedInASpookyHouse #RIPXIX #Spookoween #FrightFall #SomethingWickedFall #HauntedShelf #BlackCatCrew
