Jon's Downright Ridiculous Shooting Case
by A.J. Sherwood
Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.
“So. Where to for lunch?” “You wanna get pancakes?” He sounded so hopeful, like a five-year-old. “Sure,” I agreed easily, as I really didn’t care and he sounded perfectly adorable. “Let’s get pancakes.”
This book (and the entire series) is like a warm hug of sweetness and entertainment. I am such a sucker for a character with psychic abilities, and this series leans into that heavily. The MCs are (new) coworkers in an investigative agency with people who help the police solve cases, and I love it.
Both MCs are absolute sweethearts and they fit so well together. It’s not super heavy on the romance or spice, but I really enjoy what’s there. It’s got that ‘cozy mystery’ vibe.
I love this book, but I unfortunately can’t recommend the audiobook. It was rough. Definitely read the ebook if you can (and want to), though.

He was shot last year because of it.” “Shot at,” I corrected testily. “Shot at. He didn’t actually hit me.” “And what’s that scar on your abdomen, then?” Jim’s face looked more bulldog than usual. “’Tis only a flesh wound.”
“I was born in the wrong era, I think. Or maybe not. They would have burned me as a witch a hundred years ago.”
I tried not to dress in a stereotypical fashion—it usually just called trouble down on my head—but looking nice and being gay shouldn’t be synonymous, dammit. I wasn’t bumming around in jeans and a white shirt with a hole in the hem just to look ‘macho.’
