Review: Shifting and Shenanigans
Magical Cozy Mystery Book Club Book 1 by Elizabeth Pantley
Some book lovers dream of finding a hidden library. Paige Erickson inherits one.
Shifting and Shenanigans opens on pure wish fulfillment: the newly divorced Paige steps into a beautiful old house with a secret library in the basement. She also inherits a book club, for a ready-made circle of fellow readers and friends.
Once the club picks a mystery, a globe spins, sparks fly, and mist curls through the air. When it clears, Paige and the others have crossed into the story itself.
The inn changes, too, shifting and remaking itself to fit seamlessly in the story world. Walls shift. Rooms adapt. The house remakes itself to fit the story.
There’s a playful literary device at work here: a story inside a story. Instead of talking about a story, the book club lives it firsthand. They experience a mystery in real time, and they can’t get home until they solve the mystery and reach the final page.
The first trip into an enchanted mystery lays the groundwork for a world where fairy tales, paranormal creatures, and classic whodunit energy can all share the same shelf.
For readers who love cozies with a strong magical premise, it’s escapist fiction at its finest.
