Everything about this was exceptional! I haven't read autistic rep like this before and I loved the flow of the characters and their dynamics, even though Olivia is nonverbal. I really appreciate that kind of main character rep. This was some of the most unique world building as well. Sometimes dystopia/sci-fi all feel like the same concept but this felt flipped and new. Also, I just want to say I absolutely fell in love with the demons!

This is a solid 3.5 stars and I would definitely re-read again, however, this had such a unique premise and it somehow...wasn't unique. I love the idea of seasonal witches and trying to save the atmosphere/weather but there just wasn't...much going on. I wished there would've been a couple more weird weather moments, maybe more world-building thrown in. The ending was fantastic and I loved it, I just wish there had been more. So close to 4 stars for me.

Found a new favorite cozy mystery author! I loved the storyline and all the characters and clues. When a cozy mystery has a dead body in a garden, you know the mystery is about to be twisty. I loved the way the murder was unraveled and figuring out the culprit.

I love discovering new cozy authors! Murder in a hardware shop was definitely intriguing and I loved our main characters sleuthing, she did it a lot like I would have. I found this to be entertaining and fast paced and devoured this almost immediately.

Holiday romcoms just hit different. This was such a cozy setting, a cozy spark fest, and the enemies to lovers was perfection. This was funny and heartwarming and I fell in love immediately.

I wasn't expecting an MTV novel to be this book but wow. This was disgusting and disturbing in the best possible way. The roaches/possession scenes made me GAG they were so horrifying. The bugs were an extra level of ick and Mr. Mueller gave off weird vibes from the start, I don't know how Manny didn't catch on faster. Solid 4 stars.

This book was fantastic but people weren't lying when they said these characters were toxic. I couldn't stand any of these people. They all had sad, miserable complaints and really spent their lives in such a way, is wild to me. I know Nelly certainly has a bias against some of these people, but literally none (except maybe younger Cathy) had any positivity going on for them. Crusty. I would describe these people as crusty. But I was obsessed with their drama.

This sounded so unique and whimsical...but I was left disappointed. The idea was wonderful, with a bunch of long dead amazing authors coming alive in a garden party and this woman having to find a way to save her bookshop. However, it felt poorly executed. The pacing was slow, the characters left a lot to be desired, and honestly, the tone was just super boring. 3 stars for creativity, I guess.

I was super excited for this. It sounded so twisty and mysterious. But really? It was obvious from the start who it was and that made it incredibly dull. The characters felt shallow and bland, the plot itself wasn't bad it just didn't have enough going for it. I don't mind predictability when it doesn't feel this straightforward.

The way I absolutely ate this up!!
