I picked up this book to just try out the author. Brought the book on a cruise ship. SPED through it. I couldn't put it down. Then I got to the last sentence and realized it was part of a series! Please cue me trying to search on my phone for information (no service because we were in the middle of the ocean)! As soon as we docked, I was on my phone, ordering the next book, Hell Bent. If that's not a recommendation, I don't know what is.
The characters are fantastic - flawed and dangerous in their own way but compelling. The narrative unfolds breathlessly - a mystery, magical reveals, mysticism...too much to list. It's a dense book that somehow manages to speed along at a breakneck pace.
*The adult debut from the author of SHADOW AND BONE - now a Netflix Original series!*
The instant SUNDAY TIMES and NEW YORK TIMES bestseller that Stephen King calls 'Impossible to put down'.

I haven't stopped talking about this book since I read it (and I've already read book 2). A unique world, memorable characters, and a swift-moving plot that never takes over. The romance is absolutely *heart eyes* - I cried, I laughed out loud, and then I recommended it to every person I know. One of the best romances I've ever read.
"A uniquely charming mixture of whimsy and the macabre that completely won me over. If you ever wished for an adult romance that felt like Howl's Moving Castle, THIS IS THAT BOOK." —Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient

Baker Annalee Martelli is not a Holiday Person™. A family feud and a contentious divorce make the holiday insistence on family togetherness depressing, and she much prefers hiding away from humanity in the kitchen of the tiny NYC bakery where she works.
If that wasn’t enough to make her grind her teeth in November, her boss suddenly goes MIA after a “quick weekend trip” to her quaint hometown upstate turns into weeks of unanswered calls and emails. With the crazy holiday rush approaching, Annalee girds her loins and heads to Pine Lake to find her boss and save her job. While avoiding getting nature on her boots.
Cam Berijssoen has lived his entire life in Pine Lake, the perfectly picturesque jewel of the Hudson Valley where frost sparkles on the pines, there’s always a parade or festival in the town square, and an unusual number of their visitors decide to stay. Permanently. He helps run his parents’ hotel and dreams of a life that doesn’t involve so many trees (he has allergies) and achieving the happiness everyone else seems to find in Pine Lake.
Annalee and Cam both have good reason to want out of Pine Lake. When a series of events drops a world of possibilities in their laps, it seems to be time to take a leap of faith. Can a grumpy city girl and a charming master of hospitality make their dreams come true together? (But not like...together together. Right?)
