An excellent start for a new cozy series, this is one the best debut for a cozy series I've read this year.
It's an excellent mix of paranormal, cozy mystery with something more.
Josie, the MC, is a librarian with an unusual background (a whistleblower that denounced a tentative of corruption), the small town is lovely but it's got a tragic history and some wounds that need to be healed.
The mystery is solid full of twists and turns, and the solution came as a surprise.
I can't wait to read the next instalment because I want to know what will be the next step in Josie's life.
It's strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Inoffensive. A weird plot overlaying another plot that ended up getting over complicated, but it was a fine enough read, if you see it on a shelf. Pulp paperback mystery. I will say, the librarian breaks at least two ALA guidelines, making me like her a touch less. Confidentiality is everything! And calling your patrons "customers"? Come on. If someone is paying to take books out, something has gone wrong.

I liked it, but I have to say. Being single at 25 is a much different animal than being single at 35 than being single at 38. Im glad that our grump found romance, but I wanted the advice to bite her in the tush because the arrogance of youth (annoyed me).
So much fun! I love cozy mysteries, and this one being set in a library absolutely hooked me in! The murder was super suspicious, and just when I thought it was figured out there was a crazy twist that I was not expecting at all! Definitely recommend!
