More like 2.5 stars, but in this case I'm rounding DOWN to remind myself to never read one of these again. I really liked the first book in the series last year, so when there was a sale I bought the next two ... read book 2 In January and finally got around to the third in May. I was reminded WHY I was reluctant - and what I enjoyed about the series.
What I liked:
- Fun characters and interactions with some cute banter. The basic setup of the main characters provides some built-in fun. I love murder mysteries and bookshop-based stories.
Problems:
- The new addition was there for obvious reasons but added nothing of value.
- For the first time Mina's vision felt like an afterthought that had a couple of scenes but was otherwise bolted on inconsistently.
- I have no issue with the spice or RH (wouldn't be reading the series if I did), but again they get bolted on almost like the outline had forgotten the sex scenes so they just had to be bolted on.
- There were TWO mysteries, one was totally UNsatisfying and the other was blindingly obvious.
Overall the book was fine but disappointing - we know the author can do better, but the end result here is not just disappointing but off-putting for the remainder of the series.
