Review:
Myth: 4/5
Another fun installment at Three Tomes bookshop! Jacqueline has good friends, a magical bookshop and a possible date in her future with the handsome detective. What more could a woman ask for? With her magical bookshop where characters literally come off the page as the need arises, she can’t be in for anything good when the vampire hunters start showing up.
This book was extra fun because Colleen Gleason referenced and played with characters from her other book series. Also expect to see some Dracula shenanigans, because, if you’re going to do vampires, you might as well include Dracula!
Magic: 4/5
The concept of this magical bookshop, where characters come to life will forever be my favorite. Situated in a small town in western Michigan, it combines cozy mystery and paranormal with spectacular grace.
Overall: 4/5
A very cozy read, Jacqueline and her growing found family are a delight. It’s also a pleasure to read a paranormal with a forty-something heroine. If you’re a book lover and you enjoy a little paranormal in your reading, you should absolutely check this series out.
