While it started out as interesting, this first of the series eventually became boring due to much repetition about the characters. I lost count of how many times the reader was reminded that Scott loved mysteries, constantly had his nose in a book, and wanted to write mysteries of his own. Then there were the "Harry Potter" attitudes of Rory's grandmother, Rose, and cousin, Rhi, who were constantly putting down Scott for being a mundane. Even though they knew how much Rory loved Scott, as a friend, they constantly belittled him in front of her.
So, Rory inherits her grandmother's home and occult shop, while cousin Rhi gets all her monetary wealth. Kind of strange, as how will Rory financially take care of the home and shop....all will be revealed at the end. Then there is Hunter Crowley, who returns, and his family, and Rory's, have always had a feuding relationship. Of course, due to vandalism at the shop, a new in town, sexy detective is thrown into the mix.
Dear author, edit the book, get all the repetition out, and you'll have something a lot more worth reading.
