The best book in this series so far.

The Devil Comes Courting (The Worth Saga, #4) by Courtney Milan

by Leave a Comment

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 19/30 The wait was incredibly worth it on this one. We waited years, and this is by far the best full novel in this series (the novella The Pursuit Of . . . is wonderful, too). First of all, according to the author’s notes of this book, Courtney Milan is literally the reason there is a dinosaur emoji. Second of all, she actually created the Chinese telegraphic code in the book (the theory of it, anyway). Like, whAt? (Those […]

If you are in the mood for a low stakes, low conflict book, the equivalent of a warm hug followed by maybe a tickle or an affectionate pinch on the bum, then this is the book for you. Also, if you are hungry! Don’t read this. Or, do. And then cook the recipes Ms. Milan has so thoughtfully provided on her website. You know what, I take back the thing about the pinch, because that doesn’t seem enjoyable. Maybe a pat instead? Anyway I was […]
