Publisher's summary

Welcome to Everlasting, Maine, where there’s no such thing as normal.

Meteorologist Zoe Parker put Everlasting in her rearview mirror as soon as she had her college degree in hand. But when Sapphire, her eccentric great-aunt, takes a tumble down the stairs in her lighthouse home, Zoe returns to the tiny fishing hamlet to look after her. Zoe has barely crossed the county line when strange things start happening with the weather, and she discovers Sapphire’s fall was no accident. Someone is searching the lighthouse but Sapphire has no idea what they’re looking for. Determined to ensure her aunt’s ongoing safety, Zoe promises to expose the intruders, even though it means staying in Everlasting and confronting the past she thought she’d put behind her.

Dane Stanton never expected to see Zoe standing in the middle of her aunt’s living room, and was even more unprepared for the flood of emotion he experiences when coming face to face with his old flame. Zoe is just as independent and determined as he remembered, and Dane knows she won’t rest until Sapphire can return to the lighthouse in peace, so he offers to help her sort things out.

Armed with old legends, Sapphire’s ten cats, and a talking ghost, Zoe has to reconcile her feelings for Dane and embrace her destiny before it’s too late.

Cozy

Jana Deleon never disappoints. I enjoy every book I listen to. This is a short book but has humor and mystery. Glad I read it.

It's a Classic Cozy That Checks All the Boxes

I picked up this book because of the author and it was the perfect listen after the last book.

This cozy checks all the cozy boxes.
> Cute town
> Sweet love blooming
> Adorable Characters
> Cute animals
> Not disturbing
> Satisfying resolution
> Leaves room for another book(s) in the series

I needed a sweet, clean "palate cleanser" after my last novel.

Please don't go into this book thinking that it's realistic, hardboiled, or a heart-pounding page-turner.

Instead it's well written with a solid narrator and a complete (and good) story. Sure, it may be a bit formulaic but sometimes that's exactly what you want.

I see that the other books in the series are not written by the same author. Nevertheless, I can only assume that the various authors have agreed to keep things in line with the first book in the series. So...I will, at some later date, revisit the series when I need a sweet, cute, escape. For now, I'm ready to take on a thriller or a cozy with more edge and realism.

always a good time

love the story, characters, narrator. not as catchy as fortune mysteries so far, but I feel there's potential. I enjoy humor with my mysteries so this author is very appealing for me. great characters. funny circumstances. Will listen to the second book

Loved the story

I thought the story was fun, but I thought the narrator was all wrong for this type of book.
