Book description
Book boyfriends are overrated. Trust me-I've tried. They're usually all charm and no consequence, until they break your heart and your coffee mug. But Steffanie Holmes' A Dead and Stormy Night? It's the opposite of that. It's a cozy mystery where your book boyfriends are literally villains from classic lit, and they're way more trouble than they're worth. And that's the best part.
You're back in your sleepy village after a fashion job disaster, slumped into a job at Nevermore Bookshop-a place where curses make Heathcliff (6'4, grumpy, tattooed, and way too real) chase customers out the door. Moriarty? He's sipping Earl Grey with you while dodging police. And Quoth-the raven shifter who's "shy, cheeky, and feathered as hell"? He's helping you make art with a knife and a tea set. (Yes, really.)
Then your ex-best friend shows up dead with a knife in her back, and you're the main suspect. Cue the panic: "Oh, I'm gonna Agatha Christie this shiz," your protagonist sighs. It's the funniest, most chaotic "spicy cozy" you'll ever hear. Holmes' narrator (a delight!) spins this with perfect comedic timing-think Clue meets Pride and Prejudice with a side of raven sass. The villains? Morally grey, devastatingly charming, and so into sharing. (Spoiler: They're not just friends with the heroine. Sharing is a verb here.)
And yes, Holmes is blind-her own life experience infuses the story with warmth and wit, making the bookshop's magic feel deeply human. The audiobook? Chef's kiss. The narrator's voice crackles with the same playful energy as the plot: deadpan delivery for lines like "Heathcliff just glared at me like I'd stolen his moors," then a wink when Quoth says, "Caw, you're so cute when you're flustered." You'll laugh while dodging fictional assassins, and that's the mark of a perfect cozy. Don't just read it-listen to the chaos. You'll be booking tickets to Nevermore Bookshop before the credits roll.
