Well written, but the main characters are quite hateable. Maybe they really do deserve each other.

A fun gender-bent version of Dexter with an aire or supernatural influence.
Cordelia Black is successful, likable, and funny. The relationship with her bestie Diane (and god-daughter) is believable and relatable. You'll be rooting for this serial killer and lol-ing along the way as everything that can go wrong... goes wrong.

Cozy Magical Realism

The Full Moon Coffee Shop is definitely cozy, well written, and easy to read through. Maybe a more positive spin on the Midnight Library? The cats just threw me off due to my assumptions of how they might be guiding people versus how they actually did. That just wasn't for me.

I was not prepared for how much I'd enjoy this book. There are plenty of laugh out loud and relatable moments combined with the crazy and outlandish. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

informative fast-paced

An interesting memoir and quick glimpse into the world and behaviors of oddity collectors. 
I've been following the Oddities Flea Market on IG for years and 6 realize that RMC and RMR are the curators when I requested this arc. A fun surprise, as I hope to make it to one of the Markets.
The Witch's door was an easy and quick read with an intro into a niche business/career, how they aquire items and certain people in the business. Im hoping there will be a follow-up book that delves more into the actual oddities and why they're sought after. 
I haven't seen the finished copy but I imagine it will be beautiful, filled with pictures of various curiosities.
