4.3 stars.
Finally their emotional relationships are progressing more to catch up with their sexual ones.
I had a bit of a hard time keeping my eyes to this book. I had to take a break a little over 2/3s of the way in and go read a few other books before I could come back to finish this. And mostly that’s because the relationship aspect and the overarching mystery of the book shop takes second place in each of these books to the mystery of the moment. Whichever dead body they stumble across in town, they always seem to use as a distraction from the biggest mystery around them since Mina’s ex bestie died in the first one and made her a suspect.

I don’t know.
I’ll probably keep reading the series sporadically when I run out of other books to occupy my time, I just wish we would get more of the romance in each book, and that the FMC would stop being so hesitant about everything.
It would probably help my opinion of the books if we got POVs from the men, truthfully. I think that’s a pretty significant reason for why I’m having trouble focusing here.

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite classical works and Lydia in Pride and Premeditation was exactly how I envisioned her to be. Such a twisted and unexpected surprise that Mina and her men find solving the murders at the Jane Austen Experience, which sounded like a blast. . . Minus the murders. I don’t know how but somehow each book has gotten more

I really like these

Bookish characters who own a magical. Bookstore and solve mysterious murders as well as being a RH. They are light fun reads!

love is in the air

Love evolves and it is in this book. Another case to solve but you see growth in the characters. On to the next book to read in the series.
