Subtitle: A Seashell Cove Paranormal Mystery
Recommended to me by: T. Thorne Coyle
This is described as a cozy mystery, so there is some tension and action, but the focus is on comforting relationships, shared meals, and respites from danger. The Oregon Coast setting is described with lots of evocative sensory details. The main character is in her late twenties, owns a bookshop, is a witch, and in some ways is still figuring out who she wants to be when she grows up.
Women in this book have a lot of strength and agency. The men are generally in supporting roles, although some of them are powerful as well. The cast of characters is diverse in skin color, sexual orientation, gender (one explicitly non-binary being), age, and species (magical beings too). People are generally inclusive, with some gentle calling in when they are oblivious to differences.
It’s a light, quick read. Recommended if that’s what you’re looking for.
