This was... fine. I don’t know. I guess I like a little more edge to my mysteries. But I did laugh a few times (three, to be precise) and it wasn’t ... terrible to read. The mystery part was fine.

I had a pretty significant problem with the romantic subplot, just in that the romantic interest keeps trying to let the MC know of his interest in her and keeps getting interrupted. Like to a ridiculous degree. And not once does the MC catch on that the romantic interest was trying to say something before he was interrupted. Not once does she say, “So what were you going to say?” The romantic lead takes it much better than I am because I am extremely frustrated.

And now I have this weird feeling that I’ve read a set of mysteries that were also comical in nature but I can’t for the life of me remember anything else about them.

This was great. Fast paced, fun, exciting and well told. I really love Alyssa and H.M. There’s a few things that I have questions about but I kind of know the answer. It’s just that I’m not sure the answer makes the most sense in the world. But it’s kind of a minor point and I’m willing to suspend my disbelief. Can’t wait for Thronebreakers.

Really cute. Even if I don’t understand hockey.

This is beautiful and well written and altogether wonderfully told. I was expecting a fun romp, but what I got was a lot more accurate and real and honest. This is really, really great.

What a series. What an ending.
