The 3 sisters all have secrets and troubles they‘re dealing with, but the present is plagued by an incident that happened 13 years ago, for the sisters and their parents. The story is told from the POV of each sister. A solid family drama!

Came across this Thanksgiving novella on Chirp. It sounded cute so I thought why not? Skye, a flight attendant, has been warned by several attendants to stay away from River, a handsome cocky pilot, because he‘s nothing more than a player. When a snowstorm strands them at a hotel over Thanksgiving, Skye starts to doubt the rumors about River.

Lily, a wizard, is drawn into her witch friend Sebastian‘s plan to undo an ancient curse on an old estate, one that causes anyone who lives there misfortune and eventual death. That storyline ended with an epilogue, then a whole new story started, one in which a small town was caught in a time loop, and Lily and Sebastian have to save the town. It was just a disconnect to me and took away enjoyment from the main story.

When I bought this book I didn‘t know it was a series (this is book 2) but I wasn‘t confused or felt like I was missing something. It‘s sweet with a bit of spice, and I enjoyed it, but I‘m not chomping at the bit to read any of the others (there are 8 books total).

Lucy lives in the quintessential NE town and works at her mom‘s cozy coffee shop, but has attitude about pumpkin spice lattes, which her shop doesn‘t serve. She‘s caught the attention of Jack, the new boy in town. But when Lucy finds out that Jack‘s parents own a national chain of coffee shops, the one responsible for the PSL craze, and their newest location is across the street from her coffee place, it‘s game on!

Not my favorite Lapena book, but it is a page turner! I wish the resolution was less ambiguous. Stephanie and Patrick are happily married with newborn twin girls. The babies are colicky and none of them are sleeping well. Enter Erica, someone from Patrick‘s past, who accuses him of killing his first wife ten years ago. Stephanie starts to doubt her husband, and doesn‘t know who to believe.

Blob: A Love Story | Maggie Su

Panpan

Vi, a twenty-something who‘s been dumped and lost direction in her life, finds a sentient blob in an alley and takes it home. She then decides to mold it into the perfect man. This was weird and quirky and really boring! Vi is pretty unlikable and very uninteresting. This could have been so much more, so much hilarity could‘ve ensued, but it fell flat for me.

Mila, a single witch feeling lonely over the holidays, brews up a love potion on Christmas Eve, that will make her fall in love with the first man she sees. Next thing she knows, she‘s being arrested for murder by Riley, a wizard police officer. They form a connection, but Mila wonders if it‘s real or if it‘s because of the love potion. A paranormal romance with a dash of cozy mystery and was so cute!

Normally, I don‘t like character driven novels but I was pretty engrossed in this one! It is a good book, but Queen Meryl‘s narration put it over the top. During the pandemic, Lara‘s 3 daughters return to the family‘s cherry orchard to help with the harvest, and they beg her to tell the story of the summer she dated a famous movie star and worked as an actress.

So cute! Zelda, a witch with secrets, has been living a quiet life for the last decade. Peter, a vampire with amnesia, shows up at Zelda‘s door with a letter from her old friend Reggie, asking her to help Peter. Peter‘s journal full of cryptic notes is the only thing they have to possibly help regain his memory, so they hit the road and follow the clues.
