Publisher Description
“The perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It's a delightful recommendation for romance readers looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads.”
--Midwest Book Review (For Now and Forever)
THE WITCHING PLACE: A FATAL FOLIO is the debut novel in a charming new cozy mystery series by bestselling author Sophie Love, author of The Inn at Sunset Harbor series, a #1 Bestseller with over 200 five-star reviews.
When Rachel Sage, 29, is fired from her book publishing job and breaks up with her boyfriend on the same day, she wonders if life is urging her to make a fresh start. She decides it’s time to pursue her lifelong dream of opening a bookstore of her own—even if that means leaving Boston and accepting a job in a curious bookstore in a small seaside town an hour away.
But the odd shop, Rachel soon learns, is from more than just a rare, occult bookstore. Something strange is going on in the shop’s secret back room, with its eccentric owner, and in the small town itself.
And when a dead body appears, Rachel, with her beloved newfound cat, may find herself right in the middle of it all.
A page-turning cozy, rife with the supernatural, mystery, secrets and love—and centered around a small town as odd and endearing as its shop—A CURIOUS BOOKSTORE will make you fall in love and keep you laughing out loud as you turn pages late into the night.
“The romance is there, but not overdosed. Kudos to the author for this amazing start of a series that promises to be very entertaining.”

Cute Enough Story
It’s hard to believe a 32 year old woman would make the decisions she did, and even harder to believe in lay people successfully investigating a murder…however, if you can suspend your disbelief and just enjoy a good story, you can love this book. I will be buying the second book just to see if she’s successful in locating her father. *I did find the protagonist’s mother to be a horrible person, she’s the one that seems to be the ultimate “Karen” and a selfish narcissist. Her handling of the situations left me feeling icky and gave me a lot more sympathy for our girl. Otherwise, I am hopeful for a happy new life in a happy little town for the lead character. I’d say take a listen.
Covid Friendly Listen...
I’ve started a weird thing during covid WFH. I get distracted by TV but audio books work. As a story this is young adult... but did anyone else notice what a problematic white girl this was? She had one thing she had to do, not read a book, and homegirl couldn’t help it. She put everything in jeopardy cuz nosy and takes ZERO responsibility. Complete Karen. It’s hilarious. But at $1.99 I’ll be buying others.
Terrible!
Narration is awful! Very annoying to listen to. And the story just drags on. This isn’t worth your time.
