⭐⭐⭐
This one was okay. Not my favorite cozy, but not the worst I have read. I really loved the magic books angle, and the mystery was well plotted and kept me guessing. It also had a good cast of likable characters. I'll definitely pick up the next book in the series. That said, the main issue I had with it was the whole “SAM” chaos. That whole situation (and Sam himself) was way too messy for a cozy mystery. Which wouldn't have been an issue if the author didn't have Josie drooling over him constantly. I also wasn't a huge fan of how it ended either. And just to be extra nitpicky (this didn't affect my rating), but what about the baby situation? There must be some type of legality involved in such a situation?
