The premise of this book is very, very different and interesting. It’s unlike anything I’ve read before (though if you’re a sci-fi fan, some aspects might be more familiar to you). I’d be tearing through this, but I’ve got deadlines for some ARCs, so I’ve been forced to take a break from finding out what happens next. It’s torture because I’m right at a critical tipping point for our main character.

This book has been very, very good so far. Grabbed me on the first page and hasn’t stopped! Thus far, there are two time lines occurring for the same character and I find the MMC intriguing, funny, and soulful in all the best ways. And the writing is incredible! And I don’t say that lightly. The prose are very well written and the author makes delightful use of turns of phrases and mood setting.

I am really enjoying this novel so far. It drew me in from the start and just kept getting more interesting. The prose are quite beautiful and I found myself highlighting several turns of phrase that I appreciated.

Definitely building up to something. Of course I have guesses, all of which I’m sure are wrong!😑

It’s pretty good so far. The characters have been introduced and the author is fleshing them out. Not that you wouldn’t assume this from the title, but the setting is my own personal he||. Makes me want to drink cocoa and wait for the next murder. 😁

I didn't get drawn into this book like I thought I would. No spoilers, but I found the direction the main character takes us in a little unbelievable. So I'm taking a break from this one. So many things to read, so little time.

I am taking a break from this novel. To be honest, I barely made it through the prologue. It read like a creative writing project where there was a minimum word limit and the author chose to cram EVERY SINGLE ADJECTIVE they could think of to meet the word limit. Then it seemed to get better for a chapter or two. Then I realized that instead of setting up the plot, TJ Adams just alludes to there being a plot.

I'm really enjoying learning about one of my favorite chefs!
