Publisher Description
“The perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It's a delightful recommendation for romance readers looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads.”
--Midwest Book Review (For Now and Forever)
THE WITCHING PLACE: A PERILOUS PAGE is book #3 in a charming new cozy mystery series by bestselling author Sophie Love, author of The Inn at Sunset Harbor series, a #1 Bestseller with over 200 five-star reviews.
When Alexis Blair, 29, is fired from her book publishing job and breaks up with her boyfriend on the same day, she wonders if life is urging her to make a fresh start. She decides it’s time to pursue her lifelong dream of opening a bookstore of her own—even if that means leaving Boston and accepting a job in a curious bookstore in a small seaside town an hour away.
A cryptic visitor comes into town, looking for a rare book, and willing to pay anything.
But when he ends up dead, Alexis wonders: was the price too high?
And did Alexis’s mysterious store owner have anything to do with it?
A page-turning cozy, rife with the supernatural, mystery, secrets and love—and centered around a small town as odd and endearing as its shop—A PERILOUS PAGE will make you fall in love and keep you laughing out loud as you turn pages late into the night.
Books #4-#5 are also available!
“The romance is there, but not overdosed. Kudos to the author for this amazing start of a series that promises to be very entertaining.”

Customer Reviews
Promising but disappointing with an okay ending
I liked the first book for the most part. It was enough for me to buy this one for light reading. As I get further into the story, it bothers me that Lex doesn’t act her age. She goes about her investigation like a teenager. Her relationship with her mother is also like a stubborn teen. Even dating Noah, her actions and words are somewhat childish. I’m trying to finish the story but, I have to keep walking away. I’m hoping that in the future she matures. I will check back.
***update***
I came back and finished the book. I’m upgrading my rating and review. Lex was still acting like a teenager but, there was a lot going on and our parents presence does tend to bring back the child in us sometimes.
The book ended well. Lex got a little more mature and is figuring things out.
Ponderous connections
Lexi was an excellent editor, with possible prize winning work behind her, yet she managed to end up fired and dumped
An old church looks like s possible site for her dream bookstore. But the store she currently works st might not yet be done with her
Tense relations with her mom, mysterious and perhaps mystical events linked to certain special books, and a clever cat who seems to have adopted Lexi added to a potential beau make an exciting world for Lexi to face her challenges
More secrets revealed ahead in a series of an intriguing mix of the mundane, the murderous, and the possibly magical
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Excitingly relatable….
I find myself enjoying the series more and more as I start to relate to the hidden secrecy within the characters. The character development is perfect for a cozy mystery and leaves a warm but mystical feeling as the books carry on to the next…. Worth every minute of entertainment.
