Once Upon a Grind by Cleo Coyle

4.0

Even though this books are completely unrealistic, they're still very well written with character development that really draws you in and makes you care about the story, the people, and the mystery until the very end. There are a lot about these books that are pretty scoff-worthy, to be honest, but you don't care about it until AFTER you've finished it, as the plot just keeps moving along and makes you want to find out what happened. The mystery was intricate, just enough new characters were introduced to keep it exciting but not confusing, and the lives of those associated with The Village Blend were moved ahead in ways that made sense and left plenty of room for growth in future stories. So, ok, there's literally no chance that Clare would be able to do half of the things she does in this book if it were real life--it's NOT real life, and that's half the point.
