Thank you NetGalley and publishers for Earc of this book. It was difficult to follow with the made up vocabulary. Okay but probably would not recommend.

You think you’re walking into a cozy hometown bookstore read. And then BAM, you’re hit with some of the cringiest smut that you were not prepared for. Add in creepy voyeurism and all faith was destroyed. The books about books got me on this one.

I really really wanted to like this book. When I first read the premise I liked the idea...but the execution left more to be desired. I could see what the authors were trying to go for - kind of a romantic comedy meets thriller (with the break in) but there were so many elements that just didn't mesh together.

For one, some of the one liners and puns were too cheesy for the moment and others hit all wrong. There were a lot of things that left me feeling more uncomfortable than anything. And if it did elicit a chuckle it was more of a coping mechanism than anything else.

This might be someone's cup of tea, but it definitely wasn't mine.

I did not enjoy this book, and couldn’t finish it, because of it.

I hated the main character, the way she was described as “not like other girls”, it was really unflattering to read, and didn’t do anything good to the story.

I expected something entirely different from the cover, because the cover is cute, but what I got was awful and cute at all.
Fox was terrible and I hated how he objectified her.

Not for me.

DNF 11% in. Wasn’t for me. Particularly referring to a male needing his “man card” to be taken away.

This book was so fun!!! I had a great time reading this one. It was quirky and fun. I enjoyed the characters and how they grew throughout the story! It was so fun to see them grow. I wanted more of the Thursday phone calls!!!
This one hadn’t been on my radar and I was in the mood to read a random book. I came across this one and was like, “okay, let’s give it a try!” I definitely recommend doing this! Because you might find something you really love.

This book was so funny! I highly recommend the audiobook, the narrators Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter were absolutely fantastic, and really brought the characters to life!

I definitely will be continuing to read the rest of the books in this series!

And for all the reviewers making comments about it 'being racist' - lots of people have black curly hair, not only black people. It's not racist, get over yourselves.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

Funny and interesting! This was a read that felt unusual and not in a bad way. I enjoyed it! It felt unique.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

So....I don't want to be mean....but what in the fresh hell was this book? The Colin line regarding her pubes??????? Are we just going to pretend like that ISN'T mega insensitive a racist?

3.5 stars. Thank you to Netgalley and Xpresso Book Tours for the E-ARC. I know it took a minute but I am totally onboard with the Townsend Harbor train. This was a fun story that had me LOLing half the time and the other half I was drooling because come on...I cant wait to read about all the other characters from Townsend.

I couldn't tell if this was trying to be some kind of paranormal romance without anything paranormal or just plain creepy. The plot made no sense, it would have been better to have not plot. A man, in a cave, near a bookstore, calls the owner once a week to order books. In this time he forms a bond with her. She is attacked while on the phone to him, so he comes saves her, then watches her place from a well hidden spot across the street with binoculars. It reads more like a thriller than a romance.

Honestly not my favourite and found it hard to get through. I liked the characters but found the rest to be a little frustrating. Thank you for sending me a copy of the book to read even though it wasn’t fully my cup of tea!

The cave and the boner at the fire done it for me - moved to ‘avoid a weiner roast’ SORRY WHAT

The description drew me in. But the book, while reading, I got like light stalker vibes, which creeped me cause I thought it was supposed to be a cute light hearted romance book. Also I wanted to read more about the mystery of Cady’s bookstore.

The premise of the book hooked me with its description immediately.. Thank you NetGalley for the copy of the book.. While it may not of fit my reading preferences, I can see it fitting others.

I wanted to read Nevermore Bookstore as soon as Kerrigan Byrne and Cynthia St. Aubin revealed it! I've read them before, I enjoyed their books, and I love their personalities and their friendship to each other, so I was so excited to see what they came up with in this collab together. Also the synopsis itself sounded so good and exactly like my kind of book — there were simply just no misses. I will admit that I picked up Nevermore Bookstore very soon after it came out, but with my being in such a bad reading mood this year, I didn't actually make it very far before my restlessness got in the way and I decided that I would come back to it another day. I didn't expect that time to be now, but Amazon had recommended the latest book in this series to me and I loved what it was about and I just thought I'd try again with Nevermore Bookstore. As you can see, I finished it and I absolutely loved this book so much!

Nevermore Bookstore was just so wonderful and I had such a fun time reading it. It was funny and silly and made me laugh and giggle. It does have its serious and heart wrenching moments too, but this book feels so bright overall that it didn't get me that down or feeling unoptimistic for too long. It made me so happy while reading it with its fun and wildness, I couldn't get enough. It was an amazing first book in a series and I can't wait to read more of it!

This was a good book.
I did have some odd spicy scenes, for me anyway.
The guy character had so many monster/werewolf feral-type vibes going on it was interesting
This story was sooo much more than just the 2 main characters and their relationship which I enjoyed it had a mystery-type vibe also and a few twists and turns.
It was a good story and a fun adventure to read this book.
I think this is def a book that needs to go on your tbr list.

I was so glad to have had the opportunity to read this book thanks to the publisher and NetGalley. THe above is my review/opinion, it's honest and voluntary.

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a simple romance. There was a little mystery involving Cady's bookstore but for the most part, the plot was thin. I did still enjoy the story though. The small-town aspect was cute and I loved her bookstore.
