Better Haunts and Garden Gnomes by Michelle M. Pillow
5.0
I absolutely LOVED this! It was fun, it was light, it was a fast read and it was so engaging!
I think (Un)Lucky Valley would be a great place to live! A town full of supernatural people sounds like just my cup of tea! Even though they all have a big hate on for Lily and her family, and do NOT welcome them when they arrive to take over the family house on the outskirts of town, this is still my kind of town.
I really enjoyed the world-building the author does here. The creatures, their stories, and how past and present intersect was clever, quirky and really fun. The humour that runs through the book tickled me and made me laugh out loud more than once. Sarcasm is my think, and most of the main characters delivered a share of it as the story played out.
I also liked the sweet and gentle romance between Lily and Nolan [that's not a spoiler unless you've never read this genre AND didn't read the book description] they had their obstacles to get over, but it was enjoyable to go on their journey as they worked through things.
The supporting cast of characters in this world are just a hoot! Especially Aunt Polly - who is a complete nut case, but still lovable - but all the residents of Lucky Valley are just plain fun!
I really enjoyed everything about this, and will absolutely watch for future books set in Lucky Valley. I would love to go back there in future!!
