 After reading 7 horror/thriller books in a row, my brain needed a break.  I jumped into I can best describe as "cozy fantasy" with this book.  The cover is just fantastic.  But the story - that was so fun.  An orc who wants to give up her life of fighting and killing and open a coffee shop... except no one even knows what coffee is in this town! She finds a great partner in a magenta skinned succubus and with the help of a rat who bakes and an elf who builds, they start on a fantastic journey! There is of course a little fantasy battle in it with someone coming for the orc to get something she has that he wants. Such a fun, cozy read... that seriously made my coffee cravings worse than ever and really, really increased my desire for fresh baked pastries!
