Description from the publisher:
Ava Harper’s life has taken more twists and turns over the last few months than a mountain highway. It started when she arrived back home in Shipton Harbor, Maine. She wears many hats: Part-time bookstore clerk, part-time author, necromancer in training, full-time caretaker of a ghoul, soon to be girlfriend to the town sheriff. She’s still in denial of the latter. Now she has to add neighbor to Lucifer himself to that list.
 
Fine. Whatever. She can make her peace with living next door to the devil. But then, when she’s finally out on a first date with the hotter-than-sin local sheriff, who shows up to crash the date?
Luci himself. And he has a date of his own.
 
To add to all the crazy in her life, she answers her door to find an animated skeleton standing on her doorstep, hoping she can help him find his murderer.
 
What else can go sideways this Valentine’s Day in Shipton Harbor?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’M WITH CUPID is the third book in the Witching After Forty series.  It is a valentine novella and the second novella series to come between books one and two.
 
A great set up for the cozy mystery of who killed the skeleton who showed up on Ava’s doorstep.  I’m assuming that will be book “2” in the series.  (Seriously, I hate when authors play with the numbers.  This is the third book.  The next one will be the fourth book, not book 2.  Ugh!)
 
While I managed to read this without having read the first (or second) book, I think I would have loved it even more if I had read those ones.  Not to say that anything was missing, I’m just greedy that way.  This was a fun and funny story.  There is a lot of reference to past happenings, but I never felt lost.  I was brought up to speed without it feeling like anyone reading would be talked “down to” and it intrigued me enough that I want to continue with the series.
 
Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
