Salem Massachutes is one of my favorite places to visit and reading a book set in Salem with a vanishing bookstore was just what I was looking for. I enjoyed the cast of characters, the sisters had such a strong bond throughout the years. This book definitely has cozy fantasy vibes, so if that is something you like then you will like this book. I thought the magic was just enough and I was kept interested throughout the book. I could visualize Dora traveling through Salem and seeing The Witch House because I had been there many times so that really added an immersive element to the story for me.

My only critique is there wasn’t much about the vanishing bookstore, I thought there would be more to that since it is the title of the book. Also, I thought some parts were a bit redundant (constantly talking about traveling back to London, staying in Boston etc..) and parts could have been edited out. I also thought the part where Lenore goes to the airport and sleeps with the bartender was very odd and didn’t seem to fit the story. I still enjoyed the book and would recommend it to cozy fantasy readers.

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for an advanced copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
