Mercury by Hope Larson
4.0

Cute and somewhat interesting. I liked the back-and-forth between present day and olde timey (fictional) French Hill. It was fun to see Nova Scotianisms in print ("dinner = lunch" indeed! And I didn't even know that King of Donair was a chain and existed outside Halifax).
The semi-romantic thread with Tara and... umm... Pak? Doppeltara was fairly well done, I thought.
SpoilerI thought the extreme magical bit at the end felt a little tacked-on, but didn't really ruin the story for me. At least it was brief.
