Cosy fantasy with low grade angst, a side order of slow-burn romance subplot and a hiding in plain sight FMC. And can I just say sentient, talking spider plant as a bestie????  Best match up ever!

Kiela loves being a librarian, she can hide out in the library with her books and rarely has to see anyone except the odd student or academic.  But when a change in power leads to a revolt, she and her assistant/friend/plant Caz save as many books as they can and make for the only place she thinks they will be safe - her small, out of the way home village.

The house she inherited is more run down than she thought and she has to make a living somehow so she decides to use some of her mothers recipes and open a Jam Shop.  But the locals need a helping hand, they are being left to deal with rogue magic which is causing more harm than good. 
 So she may or may not be doing some magic spells on the sly!

Then there's the slightly grumpy but very handy neighbour.  He's fixing up her shop and generally being irritatingly helpful! They also have a connection from Kiela's past and she is feeling oddly ...not irritated by his presence!

This cosy fantasy is everything I wanted.  Friendly, witty and engaging characters, diverse and welcoming islanders, talking spider plants and many other magical creatures.  It's fantasy that reminds me an awful lot of Terry Pratchett's DiscWorld - fantasy with a huge dollop of humour and irreverence for itself!  I cannot wait for more!
