Midsummer Night's Mischief by Jennifer David HesseMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
First in a series.
This one took me a bit to get into and I found the prologue super repetitive. The whole "the intruder" this, "the intruder" that annoyed me. We get that the person being described is an intruder, you don't have to tell us every other sentence.
The main character, Keli, kind of starts off wimpy. She's unhappy as the Solstice approaches this year, (and her 30th birthday), longing for a man and unable to let anyone find out she's a Wiccan, including her family. Frankly, she annoyed me for the first several chapters.
But after the first few chapters things smoothed out a bit and I began to settle in to the story. It had a few twists and turns, but the prologue was a bit of a spoiler, since it made the intruder and thief out to be someone who knew the house, knew the deceased had the First Folio. That limited the real suspect pool.
All in all, I liked the book well enough to look for the second installment.
*I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
