- Plot- or character-driven? A mix

3.5
This was interesting and weird. I felt like it was almost two different books mashed together. The first murder felt like it should have been a novella. I enjoyed this part, though finding the killer felt too quickly and easy.
The main character, Sherry, was pretty likeable, I enjoy that she’s a librarian. I enjoyed the friend crew who helps out, it’s quite a motley group of people. Most of the book had cozy vibes but it was hard to feel invested in the story. I was expecting a cozy, urban fantasy mystery. What I got was a decent mystery, but with a disjointed sense of fantasy. The demon problem felt added on, without a clear reason to be there.
