Viv's career with the notorious mercenary company Rackam's Ravens isn't going as planned.
Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she's packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk—so far from the action that she worries she'll never be able to return to it.
What's a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?
Spending her hours at a beleaguered bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted, but it may be both exactly what she needs and the seed of changes she couldn't possibly imagine.
Still, adventure isn't all that far away. A suspicious traveler in gray, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling, and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.
Review:
If you've ever wondered what would happen if a cozy mystery and a dusty old bookstore decided to have a baby, the answer is "Bookshops & Bonedust" by Travis Baldree. Let me tell you, this book is so cozy it practically comes with a pair of fluffy slippers and a cup of piping hot cocoa. If you enjoyed the first one, you'll enjoy this one!
The cozy factor in this book is off the charts. Picture a warm, crackling fire in the background, a purring cat in your lap, and a mug of tea that mysteriously refills itself. Every chapter feels like a cozy blanket wrapped around your imagination, and you'll find yourself sighing with contentment as you read.
Travis Baldree has a knack for witty one-liners and absurd situations that will have you chuckling at every turn. Who knew that a bookshop could be the backdrop for so many hilarious mishaps.
In the end, "Bookshops & Bonedust" is a delightful romp through the world of Viv and her quirky companions. It's a cozy read that you won't want to put down, as you'll be too busy savoring every delicious moment and laughing out loud at the absurdity of it all. So, grab your favorite reading nook, a warm beverage of your choice, and prepare to be enveloped in a world where the coziest of mysteries unfold in the most charming of bookshops.

Final Thoughts: I thoroughly enjoyed getting to see where Viv started out and how she came to be in Rackam's group. I would recommend this to anyone who just needs a cozy read with a little bit of spice and a whole lot of love.
