Hyde and Teresa compliment each other SO WELL.
Early on I was so interested, although slightly overwhelmed with the world building, this is likely why I don’t read a lot of fantastical set books.
Hyde and Teresa were lovely MCs for a cozy, no stakes, no spicy mystery. I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone I thought would even slightly enjoy it. Super, anxiety and autism rep, both are dealt with in a compassionate way with MCs that are learning to know their limits and a community that supports them.
Filled with a super diverse cast in a magical Scottish village, this book felt like a perfect rainy day read. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.
It really goes to show how much an author can grow and develop over years. Last year I read one of this authors books published in 2016. I hated it. I’m still not sure I would give the early works of this author another try. But this recent stuff, top notch.
