Read it, decide for yourself if the emotional toll is worth the ending. I found myself thinking it was too soon after Covid because we really haven't collectively grieved it...we just went to our sides and dug in or put our head in the sand. I didn't care for the ending and felt like it cheapened the story. I still recommend you read it.

I don't believe in God but I would believe in any saint of Our Lady of Grackles. A five star rating. Dark themes, but a heck of a lot of humor and found family. I listened to the book and that bummed me out because listening was too slow. Reading would have been faster and I just wanted to know what was happening next.

I particularly liked The Goblin Market, with its wares, payment in days of your life and the value of a nun's tooth. Not to mention that BoneDog can have a playdate at the dog park with my dog!

Pick this book up and make room for this family because you will be wanting to adventure with them again.

Nice start to the series.

Interesting setting and very complex way the TOX attacked and mutated its victims. I did like the relationships but felt the actual conspiracy to keep/test the girls could have been explored more.

half books are silly

Great setting and I adore Mal.

Don't go looking at things on the ground...bushes... etc. Cozy trait. Nice coffee detail.

Solid story in the series, with standard cozy plot. I do like the bee theme.

The series has grown on me. I am tired of the novellas though.

Very enjoyable go around this time. I didn't see the bad guy coming. I am tiring a bit on the house subplot so hopefully that wraps soon.

Series has grown on me

It's not all 3 wishes...

Read it with some coffee and enjoy.

It is how imagined Portland to be. Cozy fun.

Great addition to the series, but not sure about Simon being the pick.

Enjoyable - nice to have some closure oh the backstory of her arrest.

Like the series....

Enjoyable start

Book club pick. I think I would have liked it better if not audio.

Cozy does as cozy does

Outstanding read. Great characters and world-building.

Loved it! What took me so long to pick it up to read?!?

Liked Addie, didn't like Henry.

meh

I was inspired to write this review in memory of Jenny (Reading Envy) Colvin.

This is tale told of a thousand years lived and also yet a lunch you may share with your friend tomorrow. The theme of family and what represents family balanced against the capitalistic greed of a future that awaits mankind.

The world building is solid and it is worth a read if you want you sci-fi served up with less violence and more thought and dare I say feels.
