Publisher's Summary

What do you get when you cross a cursed bookshop, three hot fictional men, and a punk rock heroine nursing a broken heart?

After being fired from her fashion internship in New York City, Mina Wilde decides it's time to reevaluate her life. She returns to the quaint English village where she grew up to take a job at the local bookshop, hoping that being surrounded by great literature will help her heal from a devastating blow.

But Mina soon discovers her life is stranger than fiction - a mysterious curse on the bookshop brings fictional characters to life in lust-worthy bodies. Mina finds herself babysitting Poe's raven, making hot dogs for Heathcliff, and getting IT help from James Moriarty, all while trying not to fall for the three broken men who should only exist within her imagination.

When Mina's ex-best friend shows up dead with a knife in her back, she's the chief suspect. She'll have to solve the murder if she wants to clear her name. Will her fictional boyfriends be able to keep her out of prison?

Contains mature themes.

Everything about this book!

It's dark and sexy and funny and witty. I can't say I was overly surprised by the final reveal but it was worth it for everything leading up to it.
You could almost describe this as an erotic cosy paranormal mystery. And I have decided it's my favourite genre ever!

Rollicking read

Loved this book. I haven’t read this genre of book before but thoroughly enjoyed it. It was lightweight but so much fun. Looking forward to reading more of Steffanie Holmes.

Reminds me of a racy cozy mystery

Great start to the series. I loved all the characters from the moody Heathcliff, the flirty Moriarty, quiet Qarth to the determined Mina. So many mysteries to unravel, not just the murder of Minas ex best friend.

Favourite line - 'the resident Bernard Black', this line had me laughing so loud. I love the tv show Black Books & immediately Heathcliff reminded me of Bernard Black. Can't wait to see how the chemistry between Mina & all the guys develops.

So much fun

This series is so much fun. Is it prose? No. It is, however, hugely enjoyable for book nerds who enjoy a bit of spice. It’s also effortlessly feminist. This series is well written, light hearted and I’ll no doubt reread it. I’ve already recommended it to a number of people.

Most importantly for me, it’s hugely relatable for someone living with disability.

I’m reliant on the audiobooks and not all are available to me (only the first 6 books) but I’m hopeful they will be soon.

After learning more about the author I’m going to have to track down as many of their audiobooks from other series as possible. It’s exactly what I felt like, cozy and delightful.
