A Love of Law and Lexicons
Meredith is in trouble, and this time, it really isn’t her fault.
It’s the sentient book’s fault. All of it.
And now the broken book is threatening to eat all the other books in her library unless she finds its missing half and repairs it.
Too bad the other half is a necessary piece of evidence in Detective Grimble’s murder investigation, and the only thing that is keeping him alive.
However he didn’t count on it taking matters into its own covers and manipulating his brain into falling in love with the irritating librarian trying to take his half of the book.
Oh, and a mass murderer is after the book too. Great. Unless they learn to work together, they may both end up dead.
A Love of Law and Lexicons is a humorous spice-free romantasy with slow burn romance and thriller elements, perfect for fans of A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, Defy the Night, and Lovely Runner.
Readers be This book has been torn in half by unscrupulous happenings at Hubberds University. The complete story requires you to reunite the two halves. Cliff hangers may have occurred. When reunited, book sentience may occur.

Who needs AI when you have a sentient book. But do protect your other books as training Brimhilde's Lexicon is a destructive process.
Just processing books to repair and properly shelve them seems innocent enough, but not when Meredith discovers the Lexicon. Her life is changed forever, as will many who come in contact with her. Meredith is the extreme wallflower, but the Lexicon wants none of that. Pushy book it is, making this quite the story. Some mystery, maybe attraction, police action and a world revealed.
Just like the Lexicon, this book is torn in half. You too will have to search for "A History of Hope and Homicide" to get the full story.

Loved it!
I absolutely loved this book, and I am going to have to read the second book as soon as it is available! I need more!

This book is a delight from start to finish (although the finish is a cliffhanger, which is not at all delightful - can I have book 2 now please?). It is packed with cosy charm, mystery, magic, books, and a gentle romance. It instantly draws you into the world of a library filled with magical books and never lets you go until the end. Absolutely my new favourite among Alice Ivinya's books.
