3.5 stars
I generally enjoy Molly Harper's fiction and this book is no exception. For the first half of the book, I got strong Jane Jameson vibes from Riley Everett. Jane kind of accidentally became a vampire and Riley is introduced abruptly to her witchy heritage. Jane and Riley have similar senses of humour. Thankfully Riley does not have Jane's lack of self confidence.
Riley and Edison Held have their meet cute on the ferry on the trip to Starfall Point. Edison is having a panic attack in the loo and Riley pukes on his shoes. Harper manages to transform him from jerk to love interest smoothly. It's obvious from the first that they will be a couple.
It's fun to watch Riley find her circle of friends, otherwise known as a coven. Alice and Caroline prove to be great backup and excellent people. It's a normal part of urban fantasy, something I truly love about the genre. Found families really appeal to me.
If I have a complaint, it's that I feel that the whole plot felt rushed. The women click together a bit too quickly and I personally would have preferred the romance to proceed at a slower pace. But the next book seems to centre on Caroline, so Riley's plotline needs to be wrapped up by the end of the first volume. Now to source a copy of volume 2….

"Seeing a dark figure lurking outside her window would have been her worst nightmare before she started seeing ghosts every day. Now, she was just angry. Fuck this guy and his stupid latex gloves.
"Oh, no, not today," Riley said, pulling her phone from her pocket. "I will not end up the title on a true crime podcast today.""

""Ah, yes, Caroline explained the Nana Grapevine. How many granddaughters are we talking here?" she asked. "And how many Nanas are seeking your hand in matrimony?"
"I don't think they're looking for a marriage; they just want to prove that the guy who hasn't dated since he arrived on the island would want to date their granddaughter. I would make a Moby Dick reference, but that seems wrong on a lot of levels""
