Lost Coast Literary

I have been a long time fan of Ellie Alexander’s cozy mysteries, and even though this is considered ‘magical realism’ - it still gives you all the feels her cozies do. I was immediately drawn in by Emily and her love of all things bookish. Throw in family secrets, a charming coastal community, a Victorian mansion, & a special ‘gift’…I can’t put the book down! Ellie has weaved a story that makes you feel like you are there with the characters, and frankly, I would love to visit the fictional Cascata and have a coffee at Oceania or eat the chips at Crafts and Drafts while taking a workshop! Some reviewers have balked at the notion of Emily wanting every story to have a happy ending…honestly, I don’t blame her. I want them, too. There’s so much sadness and tragedy we are exposed to in our daily lives, books are my escape. Thank you, Ellie for another delightful escape!
