Changeling Avery Hemlock was sentenced to 500 years of nightmares, but when London's fey notice an uptick in magical murders (they're literally fine on the outside but have plant matter instead of missing organs on the inside), she's pulled out of prison 300 years early to try to find the killer. She ends up pulling her downstairs neighbor, baker Saga, into the investigation with her, especially once Saga's close friends and family get involved in the mystery. Avery isn't allowed to tell Saga about her magical nature, though the longer they work together, the more clear it is that Saga has something magical about her too.
This cozy story mixes together fantasy, romance, mystery, and a few good recipes in a way that's an absolute delight to read. The location of Avery and Saga's apartments at 221 Baker Street keep readers wondering about their connection to Sherlock (was that actually Avery back before her sentencing?), and it's hopefully something that will be explored in future books about Avery and Saga. I know I'll happily read them!
