It's a good start for a new cozy series even if it's not one of those book that makes you fall in love with the characters or the plot since the first pages.
It took a bit to warm up to Jem and be hooked by the plot as I found her a bit too wimpy for my tastes and the plot a bit slow.
But Jem is a character that slowly grows on you and I couldn't put it down as soon as secrets started to revealed.
That said I think the author delivered an entertaining and enjoyable story with a cast of interesting and fleshed out characters and a solid mystery.
I appreciated how the author developed a cast of characters with a story and who had to face a lot of issues as this makes them more realistic and relatable.
The descriptions of the places are great and I loved when it describes the library and the wonderful places.
The love triangle is one of main pet peeves in cozy mysteries so I hope it will be solved soon.
I think there's a lot of potential and this could become a favorite cozy series as I love story that involves librarian.
This book is recommended and I hope to read a new installment soon.
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
