This was silly but the premise was so good. A paladin with a dead god. A perfumer? Adults with actual lives and boundaries, who are still hopelessly awkward? Swoon.

This was cozy and fun. I appreciate that the author allowed some characters to go un redeemed into the night, but still a little too perfectly wrapped.

I read this to my 9 year old daughter. She said, “I liked how it had real situations, like how she felt abandoned by her dad.”

This was a relaxing little book. The characters were a bit too perfect and emotionally intelligent but I loved the angle with Maggie’s career change and the *interesting* character discussions that led to! 

This was a really fun book. Our main character is neurodivergent and of
poisonous plants. Murder, science, a Brazilian retreat. It’s got everything. I flew through it.

Coziest book I’ve read in a while. Also thrilled for main characters over 30!

I’m not even sure I get to count this book as finished. I listened to about 60% of the audiobook before I just caved and started skipping around to gather the major plot points. The yearning, trembling, forbidden love can really only go on for so many pages (including book one, so like almost 1000 pages) before I completely lose interest. We both know it’s gonna happen guys, just do it and move onto more interesting tension points in the story. I lost interest. Big time.

Foley definitely has a type and a formula but I love it every time.
