What a fun if slightly terrifying five-star read. This won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, as I am sure not everyone will apricate the comedy feedings, this just made me chuckle so much. This story sucked me in and had me smiling and chuckling so much, there were just so many amazing moments, and then there were a couple of moments of sadness, but they were pulled into the story so well, and you really care about all of the characters, all of the regulars will worm their way into your heart, they each have a uniqueness and just form a great band of amazing characters that pull you along on their journey. What I would give to have a coffee in the Riffraff, listening to an old record and smelling those amazing beans, I may have to just have a juice, but still, it would be amazing to soak up the atmosphere.

There is a quote in the book that covers my review so well, to paraphrase, the coffee shop that Adele and Ben run is sometimes running as if it was on Xanax! That is pretty much it! The book is a little bit barmy. There are sceances, there are cats that aren’t spooky enough and boyfriends that aren’t quite right. This plot runs about all over the place with a dead hoarding aunt and a year to keep the coffee shop afloat - yes the coffee shop that is a bit over the top and where odd things just keep happening. The book is never boring and there is a hectic and eclectic feel to the writing, with tangents and late nights and greenhouses just scattered all over the place. The piece de resistance of the mad world is a human eating coffee perculator - well, why wouldn’t there be? Read this book for a rest and a laugh.

Spooky but cosy. This took me a little bit to get into but the plot is interesting and I loved the idea. I’d definitely recommend for an autumn read

Who doesn't love a questionably cute coffee shop with where people mysteriously go missing?
I enjoyed this story and the authors writing style, my only complaint was that it felt like it took a while to get going.
The story was romance lite, there isn't a huge amount of relationship growth between the main characters as the bigger focus of the plot is the strange happenings at the coffee shop.
Enjoyable and weirdly cozy.
