stemtherapy 's review for:
Secret at Skull House
by Josh Lanyon
Audiobook review July 2023
It is interesting to revisit this in a different time in my life ... where I am reading less, more busy/stressed, and starving for a good escape. This provided that. A cozy series with just the right amount of charm and chemistry to make for a delightful read. And, yes that much needed escape I was looking for. I am going to bump up my rating because I believe this book deserves it. A slow burn masterfully done in a lovely atmospheric seaside setting. I am looking forward to returning to charming AF Pirate's Cove in the next book of the series. My summers are usually a time to slow down, soak up the sun and read books ... but this year isn't like that ... so I am REALLY looking forward to stealing away for a few hours somewhere quiet and pretty to savor this series and the delightful cast of characters ... Thank you JL.

I would rate this 3.5 stars. An addictive series but with something missing. The meddling book seller is a character that we have seem before. I don't mind because I love that character. But I am missing the chemistry that you usually find in this author's books ... it feels we are in some kind of suspended animation ... and as we move into book 3 (next year!) that might become tiresome if drawn out to long ...
