Synopsis:
The author of A Vampire’s Guide to Gardening and Obsidian Queen brings you a lighthearted fantasy full of humor and romance, set in a cozy contemporary fae town.

Welcome to Merriweather Tea Shop, where the tea is piping hot, gossip flows like Earl Grey, and a family of gnomes has inconveniently moved into the back garden.

My name is Kit, and I’m the new proprietress. I know next to nothing about tea, but that’s all right, because I’ve hired my owl to help. Except Rowan isn’t an owl anymore, and our friendship isn’t as simple as it used to be.

But that’s the least of my concerns right now. My focus is on my business ledger, which apparently isn’t supposed to be negative. I’ve quickly discovered that running a business is expensive, especially when I can’t touch my aunt’s fortune for another three years.

Review:
“Apparently, I’m a bit of a grudge-holder. I need to work on that. You know, eventually. Today isn’t that day.” (Page 84)

I absolutely love the connection between Rowan and Kit. I also love how Kit is starting to get negative feelings from Ash. What I don’t like is how every time Kit seems to finally be sorting things out and learning how to be the tea shop proprietress that will make her family proud, something seems to happen that financially could spell ruin. I absolutely loved how the gossip of town seems to run, and how people remember how they have been treated and respond accordingly. While she is an adult and trying to make it on her own, I do love that when she has a problem, Kit can rely on her parents. Some issues did seem a little too obvious in origin for this novel, but regardless, a great continuation of the trilogy, and on to the next…
