My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It’s a great book if you’re looking for a cozy mystery, with ghostly escapades that’ll make you crave gelato.

I loved the great-great-aunt/niece relationship. They made me laugh. Adriana likes to stir up trouble and play match maker. The witnesses in the book were surprising.

I recommend it for anyone who wants to solve murder and take a ride through Italy with a ghostly companion by their side.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The illustrations were cute and the story flowed nicey. The story reminds us that it’s important not to trust everyone. It teaches us that trust should go hand in hand with a bit of caution, and we should be aware that not everyone we come across has our best interests at heart. My 4 year old was pretty upset about the cuckoo birds actions and as a result didnt enjoy the book much after that. It may be suited best to older kids.

It was a great book for my four-year-old. It kept his interest, he sat still for the whole thing, which is usually a struggle. It showed him not to give up. The illustrations were beautiful. He loved seeing what the cat and dog were getting up to on each page, especially when the cat was sitting on top of the dog. He also loves experimenting and baking and is excited to try out the recipe after we pick up the ingredients.

There’s an eerie setting in this book which made it good to read around Halloween. It was a quick read. You are kept guessing what the outcome will be until the end of the book. It has interesting characters. Although I felt that there could have been more chemistry between the two main characters, I was still able to enjoy the story. If you enjoy books with M/M and supernatural characters then you may enjoy this one.

The cover art is beautiful and drew me in the second I saw it. The book was even better than the cover!

I was hooked immediately! I did nothing for an entire day while I devoured this. I fell in love with the characters! The friendships are relatable and made me think of my bestfriend. I laughed, blushed and had my jaw drop. This book deserves so much hype!
