Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #597: The Blue Moon Cafe & 24-Hour Occult Emporium by Lexie Sharabianlou

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the publisher: magical witness protection program, a town in need of saving, and a sorceress-in-training . . . oh, and the human woman she’s not supposed to fall for. The Blue Moon Café has a little bit of everything (except, you know, decent coffee).

In the tiny town of Pine Hollow, barista and fledging sorceress Talula Smith runs The Blue Moon Café & 24-Hour Occult Emporium, aka the worst coffee shop in town. The café’s horrible reputation hides its true purpose: providing new identities and safe passage to at-risk magical beings while keeping humans far, far away. That is, except for town local Dahlia. Dahlia’s devastating dimples, addiction to Talula's cocoa recipe, and keen observation skills keeps the smitten barista scrambling to ensure that her magical abilities (or, lack thereof) stay a secret.

But when big game hunters start preying on magical beings, her powerful sorceress mother is called away to track them down, leaving Talula and her barely-there magic in charge of The Blue Moon. With the impending Samhain festival to organize, magical refugees to help, half of the town turning against her, and her ever-growing feelings for Dahlia, Talula’s magical destiny feels further away than ever. But as the hunters set their sights closer to home, it’ll be up to Talula to master her craft, trust her heart, and bring her magical and human communities together . . . before she loses everything she loves.

The Blue Moon Cafe & 24-Hour Occult Emporium by Lexie Sharabianlou is expected out August 18, 2026 from Dell Books.

Why am I waiting on this book? I like the title. It piques my interest. I suspect that by the time this one comes out, I will be ready for a lighter read. This is a romantasy and a mystery.  And it definitely strikes me as a light read. Probably has some humor to it as well.

What book are you waiting on? Leave a note in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our ever growing TBR lists. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Reading!

What I'm reading May 21, 2024

 


I am currently reading three books.
Thirst by Marina Yuszczuk is on my Kindle. I'm about half way through it. 
A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rosie Sutherland is on my tablet. I'm about 25% through it.
Oye by Melissa Mogollon is on the Kindle app on my phone. I'm about 10% through it.

All three books are good. 

Thirst  is starting to pick up a little now, so I may spend more time reading it than the others. I'm happy I want to know what is going to happen with this vampire.

A Sweet Sting of Salt is a selkie tale. I'm wondering when the main character, who is a midwife, will figure it out and what the consequences will be.

I'm not yet far enough into Oye to say yet. But it's an interesting format, sort of like overhearing a telephone conversation.

What are you reading this week? I hope you are enjoying it. Let us know in the comments. Happy Reading!
