I love Ellie's books because her characters and setting are FAB and this book LIVED UP TO THE HYPE! This new series has its own voice and was so very good. I'm so impressed that she was able to start another thrilling and cozy series that is already addicting.  I already miss this town and these characters!  I loved both the quiet small town bookstore and the book festival; both of which gave the best cozy vibes and had my itching to go to a book festival that involves an entire town and meeting other mystery lovers.  I love the glimpses of Annie's past and the cliffhanger was so exciting. I was shocked by the ending and enjoyed how everything played out. I am already excited for the next one!

Note: I listened to the audiobook and it was a perfect characterization of what I would visualize in my head for these characters.
