Light humorous supernatural read
Rating: 4🌈
E. Broom is a new author and I picked up this novel based on the reviews. It’s basically a light, humorous supernatural fantasy romp.
Nothing to take too seriously, but it has fun with its characters, using the typical trope of witch/werewolf instant mate elements, along with a hint of fairytale overlay!
Low on the angst, quick on the action and relationship, and it’s warm-hearted to boot.
There’s a bookstore that’s the center of a small village with all sorts of magical goings on. Naturally.
Ernest Turnball gets fired from one job then decides a change of career is needed. He answers a ad for help needed in a bookstore and finds himself in Cadenbury. A quaint village full of welcoming if a bit odd people and a terrific job at The Crazy Bookshop.
In the matter of one day, his perception of the world goes sideways and upside down. What a marvelous thing to happen.
Ernest is rather unflappable. He’s kind, and rather funny.
And it turns out he’s got a rather unique set of connections to Cadenbury. Not the least of which is the sparks going off between him and the hunky Mayor!
There’s a mystery, lots of magical fun, family, and a growing cast of characters to enjoy.
I found the story very entertaining and a quick read.
There’s a second novel out so I’ll head over to see what the author has in store for Titus.
If you like all the above elements mixed together for light fun fare, this might be the book for you.
