Paige and her adventurous Aunt Glo inherit a country inn from eccentric GeeGee. They pack up and hit the road, arriving at the charming place they both loved since childhood. Finally! They can get into the secret room in the basement that GeeGee kept locked! They discover it’s a wonderful library filled to the brim with mystery books. But more than the room was a secret – it’s a magical place that houses enchanted books. Paige and Glo find themselves smack-dab in the middle of a murder mystery, along with a motley group of book club friends. The club will need to work together to solve the case in order to get out of the book and back to their home.

REVIEW:
I loved the first 3/4 of this book, but then it was rushed and over before I knew it.
The disappoint then set in.
The extended beginning was so well written, and gave us such a wonderful glimpse into each character. I had no idea who to even start to wonder about a whodunit but I was invested. The plot was thickening.
Then it was, here ya go and goodbye. I feel like a big chunk of the last half of the story is missing in comparison to that wonderful start.
But I still liked the outcome. It was all I wanted.
I loved the one weird but cool element that the author added to the story besides the obvious being in a book thing. It was a nice surprise for us as a reader and the character too it seemed.
So yeah, I would read the next book, but I am hoping for more.
3/5
