Review: This book had a little fantasy and magic, a little romance, a little mystery and it was a fun easy read!
I have read A Simple Tale of Water and Weeping (a novel by Kami King Larsen-Aster Rye is a pen name) and I absolutely loved that book. I love this author's writing style!
The main story with Doria and Miles and the mysterious bookstore kept me guessing as to what was going on. I really like a mystery I can't solve immediately. I thought this one was well done. I also really liked the multiple books that were included as part of what Doria was reading over the course of the book. Stories within a story! As a fun addition, Doria reads one short story that references another of this author's works that I'd previously read.
This is relatively tame on the spice scale for most of the book, but does have a sexy scene near the end. This will be continued in a second book, so don't expect a full resolution.
Read if you like romance, with some magic/fantasy, a mysterious MMC, and cynical FMC.
