If anyone is going to deliver a perfectly kooky cast of characters, it'll be Lucy Score. This reminded me of the Finlay Donovan series, which is always a great time. I thought it was funny and light, and I liked the mystery combined with the romance. However, I did feel like it was a bit long in the middle, so it took a bit to get to the point and the resolution. Nick and Riley's banter was so fun, and I liked how they interacted with the other characters. Gabe was delightful, and I hope he appears in the rest of the series. Riley's psychic abilities also made a cute addition. I'm looking forward to the rest because I love anything Lucy writes!
