Midnight at the Blackbird Café by Heather Webber

3.0

Pleasant, but just okay. I wish it had been from Seely's perspective. She was the most intriguing character but I didn't believe her transformation because it was so sudden. The two main characters were so boring. Natalie could have been interesting but there wasn't enough about her loss, and I couldn't feel any sympathy for Anna Kate - what a hard life when you have to choose between medical school and owning a successful cafe where you make magical pies. Also, there wasn't enough magic to make it worth it. I think this wanted to be like the movie Practical Magic and fell short. For a book with a lot of angst, it didn't feel like there was any real conflict at all.
