bit less that the first one, I feared it would be heavily focused on Viv her previous life but it has a good cozy mix. Personally I am getting a bit tired of books who focus on readers being people who love books, thus writers make a book about a book lover. But that is me personal, if you don't mind this read is great.

Lovely read, the part were it went wrong could have been left out. Also, just having to pay off some sort of mobster should also give some protection? right? Oh well. I love how it builds up and adds characters.

 Can someone make this into a cozy game? Pretty please? Because it is just perfect. The story feels very unfinished but I think I could read 2000 pages of this and still not be satisfied.

I started liking it, almost making me jealous with the idea, but it didn't grasp me. I only finished it because I was over half.
