Cozy fantasy with a dash of dark in there? I 👏🏼 Am 👏🏼 Here 👏🏼 For 👏🏼 It 👏🏼 Emily is everything I want to read about in a scholar. Her entries feel like we are reading her faerie encyclopedia and the fact that the author could pull that off is outstanding. I was captivated from the first line where we are introduced to her lovely companion, Shadow, before anything else 🥰 

Wendell Brambleby, is the other brooding scholarly companion that was a wonderful member of this cozy crew. He is also Irish and missing his homeland. I really hope maybe we get to see him return in the next installment. 

 This is definitely a friends-to-lovers romance and I thought it was perfect. Mind you, the romance is a very minor subplot that’s sprinkled in here and there in entries. Just the way I like it. Something you can pick up on along the way and are delighted to see where it goes. I am pre-ordering the B&N special edition paperback for the next book right now!!!
