3.5/5
Rounded up to 3.5. This was not what I expected. It's also not normally the genre I read. I decided to try something different and out of my comfort zone, so to speak. It was not altogether bad, I did enjoy the story just not a full four stars.
Let's start with the good. I liked the characters and some actually showed some growth. The setting was fine as well, though I'm sure not many Georgians drink that much hot tea, probably more coffee drinkers. Loved the talking cat. Sir Purrcival. The mystery. Loved the mystery. How they got the information from ghost Piper. How they fixed the curse. Liked that. Even meeting Da after and the Jones' stood up to him. I did have a chuckle or two.
What was not so good. The language. Good grief the bad language. I know there was to be some but wow, not that much. Big dislike there. It wasn't needed. Then the whole scenes of Vivi and Rhys between the sheets. Again this of course was not my genre, but I thought it was a bit much and too often. The town is being magic cursed, all the want is to stay in bed.
Found out her pen name and was blown away. Loved the wife upstairs. How could she have written both of these ??
In her dedication she thanked writers that I actually like and was hopeful this was be just as good as, but it wasn't.
All in all it was a nice fun read. Just not a fantastic one.
