I love urban fantasy so I really enjoyed this book with witches and vampires. I liked the mystery surrounding Connie’s disappearance. I’m excited to continue this series and learn more about the characters and hidden supernatural world that was introduced because there’s definitely more going on that we don’t know about just yet. 

Happy Medium by Sarah Adler
Did not finish book. Stopped at 53%.

I couldn’t connect with the characters and at almost half way through I just didn’t care. The FMC was a little unlikable and at the time of DNFing I still didn’t know much about the mmc other than he was a goat farmer

I did a lot of skimming after 60%. Things just got a little repetitive and drawn out. I still overall love and recommend this duet. I know the author has said it was originally supposed to be one book so she tried to get book 2 out quickly and it shows. Still some of the best spice I’ve read

I loved this! It’s very character driven but I loved getting to know all of them. I loved the different relationships and friendships within the group. This was also some of the best spice I’ve read. This author really knows how to write group scenes. I also loved the commentary on being true to yourself and not trying to fit into society’s boxes and choosing your own family.

Fun, fast paced mystery. Not as good as book 1 but I did like it more than book 2. I loved the povs that were chosen this time and I loved both sets of characters being involved. I thought it was a great conclusion to the series
