I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I picked up this book. I just knew there were demons, a cat, and a librarian. But it ended up being endearing and fun. It felt like watching Knives Out but in book form. Sherry is a very likeable character and it was refreshing reading a book where the mc isn’t in her late teens/early twenties. The fantastical element of the book was also kind of cool. I don’t read a lot of mysteries, so this felt like a mix between fantasy and mystery, which I prefer. I did kind of figure out the murder mystery by the end, but the whole cocaine plot I did not see coming lol. The ending was very cute. I love Sherry and her unique friend group. It gives me some hope that even if you’re old and single, you can still create a small community of friends around you.
