Reread of one my favorite series! This reality tv drama set in the omegaverse is exactly the kind of book you need to get out of a slump. There’s love, drama and a little bit of magic

Sarah's books are filled with humor and mystery. Nothing creepy... but gets you thinking. And of course, the setting of these dilemmas are based in a wonderful bakery in Eastport, Maine.

The author is a fan of John Irving and it shows - a oftentimes delightful book filled with rich characters. The story does a lot to illuminate how the gay community suffered throughout the decades of 1940s and onward in Ireland. Many of the plot points and twists and turns were a bit predictable and rote, but otherwise a good solid emotionally-fulfilling read.

An exciting and magical adventure in a beautiful setting! Makes one want to go to Italy!

This book got kind of frustrating by the end. Two people continuously dance around the same issues, then the FMC main character makes the same (bad) decision that the MMC made at the beginning of the novel. Of course there’s a happy ending though, that’s what I came for.

What a delightful, absolutely beautifully written book! This was a random find on the library shelf for me and when I started I was hesitant because of the otherworldly/ghostly aspect but I pressed on and it was worth it! Out of my normal genres and so good!

Mixed review for this one…I enjoyed the aspect of getting to know the characters but overall a little disappointed in the end.

This book was a lot more emotionally fraught than I expected it to be. Jimenez handled discussions of grief and parental abuse well, and while I disagreed with the FMC’s actions, I was still able to empathize. The author consulted many nurses and therapists while writing the book and it shows in the depth of understanding and empathy given to the characters.

"In the Shadow of St. Anthony offers a gripping, horror-infused mystery deeply rooted in the unique character of its neighborhood and the mood of 1980s SoHo. If you're drawn to eerie, atmospheric thrillers rich in cultural texture and can also appreciate a narrator with imperfections and a slightly uneven pace then this debut will likely leave a lasting impression."

Overall a very good read. A little long and dragging at times (it’s a long and detailed book) but excellent comprehensive history of the Hudson River. I especially enjoyed the early revolutionary history! But all of it was interesting and I learned a lot!
