This was an excellent read till the love triangle started and this is a cozy mystery trope that makes me run for the mountains.
The book has all the issues of the first in a cozy series: the characters are a bit green, the mystery is interesting but directly involves the MC, the entire cast of characters is under development.
There's a lot of potential in this instalment and I hope it will be developed in the next instalment: the bookstore, the small town atmosphere, the quirky seniors.
I hope that in the next instalment the love triangle situation will be solved, Arlo and Chloe (stille in love after years after he left you pregnant? Seriously ?) will solve some of her self-esteem issues.
I also hope that the author will study some cat behaviour because I think that the poor cat suffering from separation anxiety would be totally unmanageable after all the changes.
I am curious about what will come next, at the moment I think that even if I liked the mystery it was not exactly my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

A good start for a new series, engrossing and entertaining.
It's well plotted, the mystery is solid and the cast of characters is fleshed out and well written.
I look forward to reading the next instalment in this series.

A delightful book for cat lovers. It was great to read about the various cat, Homer included, their antics and their stories.
I loved the style of writing and how each story made the cats come alive.
Highly recommended!

I think this a good attempt at writing a hard sci-fi novel but I found it a bit confusing and I wasn't impressed by the world building which seemed to be more oriented to be inclusive that creating a specific sci-fi environment.
There's potential but I think there should be some more effort in the world building part and less confusion with the pronouns.
The romance was interesting but it wasn't easy to root for the characters.
Not my cup of tea.

Even if I appreciated the historical background and I couldn't care about the characters and the story fell flat.
Not my cup of tea.

An excellent paranormal romance, gripping and entertaining.
Even if I didn't read the first instalment there was enough backstory to understand the plot and the characters.
I liked the well crafted plot, the amazing world building and the well thought cast of characters.

Even if there're some interesting parts sometimes it sounds so snob that I cringed.
It I want to read about elites and posh environment I will read Tatler or Architectural Digest.
I found it tiresome even if some ideas were interesting.

I'm a huge fan of the story of Abelard and Heloise so I had great expectations for this book.
Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed as I found the story fragmented and it failed to keep my attention.
Not my cup of tea.
