I really love reading this series. The characters are great company, and the animals add to the charm. I use the word “charm,” but this series is quite dark while still managing to be downright lovely in parts. That balance is my happy place.

I didn't like Amanda very much in the first two books, but she's growing on me! I really hope there's a fourth one— I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet.

This series is brilliant. The perfect combination of humour and drama. I read all three books over the course of a week, and could not put them down.

Amanda and Ted are unlikely hero’s, both with troubled pasts and deeply flawed individuals, who are pretty much hated by everyone.

This was probably the weaker of the three. With both Ted and Amanda’s cases solved in the earlier books, this didn’t seem to have the edge the other two did. Also the ending felt very similar to the first book, a little de ja vue-esk.

That said, I still loved it and would read a fourth if one was ever to be written.
