DESCRIPTION
First loves. Second-hand books. Epic adventures.
Viv’s career with the renowned mercenary company Rackam’s Ravens isn’t going as planned. Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she’s packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk – so far from the action that she worries she’ll never be able to return to it. What’s a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?
Spending her hours at a struggling bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted. Even though it may be exactly what she needs. Still, adventure isn’t far away. A suspicious traveller in grey, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.
Sometimes, right things happen at the wrong time. Sometimes, what we need isn’t what we seek. And sometimes, we find ourselves in the stories we experience together...
MY REVIEW
Just as I hoped, the cosy vibes are still here and they are strong! I absolutely loved Legends & Lattes like thousands of other people. Cosy perfection and loved hearing about all of the warm food offerings, so I was really excited to get stuck into this one!
You don't have to read the first book, but the characters do intertwine just in a different time setting. As the name suggests, the second book is based around a Bookshop and you get to meet another host of loveable characters. Filled with ups and downs, but most importantly friendship.
I devoured this book and couldn't put it down. It was exactly what I needed on my cosy autumnal weekend. These books have such a wide range for the target audience, I could recommend it to anybody.
