Bookwyrm Deceptions by Constance Lopez:

4 stars

Cammie continues to take control of her own life and bond with her new (borrowed) hoard…but it isn’t filling her life with joy. In fact…this wonderful collection of important, expensive, antique books fills her with meh. On top of that, her family is meddling with her love life in the worst ways, putting a happy ending in deadly peril. What’s an inconsistently powerful dragon-shifter to do?

The gang’s back together, and Cammie’s evil uncle is up to new tricks. Of all the high-handed things to do; I’m still mad! However, this is a wonderful follow-up to Bookwyrm Acquisitions, bringing back everything I loved from the first book and heaping up the heartwarming sacrifices. I may have gotten a little misty there at the end.

Since there are book boyfriends, I’m making this series my book BFF. It’s a thing now and, seriously, this series is just so clean, fun, cozy, and quirky. It has a little bit of everything I like, but I need the next book to come out. I need to know that Sophie’s doing all right. It could be very good for her—I hope so—but I need to know.

Bookwyrm Deceptions sits at the corner of contemporary fantasy and cozy, but readers new to the series should begin with Bookwyrm Acquisitions. The reading order is important.
