Death by Coffee by Alex Erickson
3.0
"Right then, even Misfit's catnip-laced hair ball couldn't bring me down."
In the beginning I had mixed feelings about this read. I normally really dislike books that are super unrealistic but this IS a cozy mystery and most of them usually are. They have to fit a lot into fewer pages so more liberties are taken, I think. The main character Krissy is VERY nosy, very inappropriate, and thinks there is absolutely nothing wrong with just running up to strangers and accusing them of things or asking them highly personal questions. Perhaps a little privileged as well. She rubbed me the wrong way in the beginning... well, most of the book actually, lol, but I overlooked it and just enjoyed the book for what it was. I laughed a lot while reading it, fell in love with her demon cat, Misfit, and found myself really rooting for the budding romance between her and Paul.
I read this as a quick, fun read and it delivered on that so I'll definitely pick up the next book in the series and see how it progresses. There are 9 books in this series and I'm assuming that character development will work it's way into each book a little at a time. That's fine with me. It fits the bill as a cozy read for me.
