I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
I like this series because I grew up spending all my time on Siesta Key, but it is not a cheerful cozy series. I find it melancholy and a bit hard to read sometimes, but I see hints of humour now in the later books and I'll stick with the series, if for nothing else than a 'visit' home.
