Note to self- read the blurb more carefully when picking books up in the library so you don't grab the second in a trilogy without having read the first!
Enjoyable and understandable even without having read the first one though.

It took me a little while to develop an interest in the characters themselves and not see Maud as just a stand-in for Robin in the greater scheme of the story. About a third of the way into the book I liked it better.
Maud being a medium and getting to have more fiesta old lady content was a definite plus.
Loved getting to read more about the original discovery of The Last Contract and how the Forsythia Club came into being. Would love a prequel book about those ladies!
Glad that the author didn't use cutesy terms for anatomy in the sex scenes.

I really enjoyed this book. There were several twists that I didn't see coming but also didn't feel out of place or unreasonable. The sexy parts were good and well distributed, with an appropriate amount of build up and sexual tension at the start.

I liked this even more than book one. It does a great job of continuing the overall story while introducing a totally new plot and mostly new cast. I am a sucker for any kind of locked-room/contained mystery, so the ship setting was a blast. Maud is a lovely, endearing protagonist, and Violet is a complete riot with a complex back story and emotional background. I was skeptical about Hawthorn’s increased role in the plot, but I ended up liking him a lot. Ready to start book 3!

It was an interesting twist on the magical world and finding love. I found it intriguing but was not really super invested in what was happening to the characters so I just kind of picked it up here and there!

Loved seeing Maude on her own little adventure! She and Violet make a fun little duo. I was a little disappointed that there was overall little character development for the two of them and I really wanted to learn more about Violet's backstory than just the sprinkle in the novel.
