Book Boyfriends mögen besser sein, aber sie sind mehr Ärger als sie wert sind. Nachdem ich mich von meinem Traumjob in der Modebranche verabschiedet habe, kehre ich unter der Last des Scheiterns in mein Heimatdorf zurück und nehme einen Job im beschaulichen Nevermore Bookshop an. Ich hoffe auf ein paar ruhige Monate, um mein Leben in den Griff zu bekommen. Aber dies ist keine gewöhnliche Buchhandlung. Ein mysteriöser Fluch auf Nevermore erweckt berüchtigte Schurken aus der klassischen Literatur in der realen Welt zum Leben. In meinem "einfachen" Job muss ich Kunden vor einem 1,90 m großen, mürrischen, tätowierten Heathcliff retten, mit dem raffinierten Bösewicht Moriarty Tee trinken und der Polizei entkommen und mit Edgar Allen Poes schüchternem, vorlauten Rabenwandler Quoth Kunst schaffen. Als ob das nicht schon verrückt genug wäre, taucht meine ehemalige beste Freundin mit einem Messer im Rücken auf, und ich bin die Hauptverdächtige. Wenn ich meinen Namen reinwaschen will, muss ich mich an Agatha Christie halten. Oh, und diese drei fiktiven Bösewichte? Sie teilen gerne ... Die Geheimnisse des Nevermore Bookshops sind das, was du bekommst, wenn all deine Book Boyfriends zum Leben erwachen. Begleite einen grüblerischen Antihelden, einen Meisterverbrecher, einen frechen Raben und eine Heldin mit einem großen Herzen (und einer noch größeren Büchersammlung) in dieser pikanten Cozy-Fantasy-Serie von USA Today-Bestsellerautorin Steffanie Holmes.
