I don’t typically read short stories so I may not be the best person to review this book. I got this book through a Goodreads giveaway so I wanted to share my thoughts.

This was an easy read that I did binge in its entirety. I was hoping for a stronger plot development/continuity between the short stories instead of just the main character’s special ability. But that would make it a novel, wouldn’t it?

Anyway, the characters were easily likable, and it was interesting to follow along with the main character to try to guess how she would help solve the case/what the case would be. Each short story only took a few minutes to read, so it was easy to keep going. The stories left me wanting for more, it would be easy to stretch them out but, again, that would make it a novel and not short stories. In my head, I was picturing how each story could be stretched and made into an episode of a Lifetime series.

Overall, I would recommend this book for someone who is looking for an easy read who isn’t trying to get too invested in a character. I could see this being a perfect, easy, travel read for the car or in an airport. Since each story only takes a few minutes to read, it would be a good use of those few extra minutes that you want to spend reading, but don’t want to start a long chapter of the other book you’re reading that you know you won’t have time to finish.

Quaint and quirky this collection of short stories has a small town feel with a coffee barista as an paranormal sleuth of sorts. Liked the feel of it most. Stories and police bits were a bit uninteresting but the characters and other parts made up for it in a cute way. Overall would recommend especially if you go into it just as a light paranormal detective sort of read like something on the CW early ots.

I’m about halfway through this book of short stories. The characters are engaging and the plot of each story keeps me looking forward to the next.

Stories in a coffee shop made more interesting with a clairvoyant waitress. Wonderful slice of life vignettes with mystery and mayhem, but always a happy ending.
