Ink and Shadows is the fourth book in Ellery Adams’ Secret, Book, and Scone Society series, and the first one I have read. The protagonist is not the innocent, law-abiding citizen that usually stands in as the protagonist in a cozy mystery series. She has weathered a number of mistakes in the past, and she and her close group of friends in the society are of the opinion that everyone deserves a second chance.
They welcome newcomer Celeste and her daughter Bren to the small town of Mystic Springs. But avoid getting too attached to them.
As the story unfolds, we’re treated to a world of books, backstories, and best friends. There’s something truly special about the bond between Nora and her friends, and it’s a joy to watch them work together to solve the mystery at the heart of the story.
And I am impressed with the way that the author handled alpha-gal allergy. It’s a topic that is rarely explored in fiction, but Ellery Adams does an excellent job of weaving it into the story.
Overall, Ink and Shadows is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries. With its engaging characters, intricate plot, and expertly crafted world, it’s a book that will leave you wanting more. There is enough information to read Ink and Shadows as a standalone and to intrigue me enough to want to go back to the beginning and explore this series further.
“I know. Wasn’t it awesome?” Her smile didn’t reach her eyes. “I mean, who wants to be an angel? They don’t have any fun.”

Summary
Known for her window displays, Nora Pennington decides to showcase fictional heroines like Roald Dahl’s Matilda and Madeline Miller’s Circe for Halloween. But a family-values group disapproves of the magical themes and wastes no time launching a modern-day witch hunt. Suddenly, former friends and customers are targeting not only Nora and Miracle Books, but a new shopkeeper, Celeste, who’s been selling CBD oil products.
Nora and her friends in the Secret, Book, and Scone Society are doing their best to put an end to the strife—but then someone puts an end to a life. Declared an accident, the ruling can’t explain the old book page covered with strange symbols and disturbing drawings left under Nora’s doormat. It’s up to Nora and the Secret, Book, and Scone Society to sort out the clues before more bodies turn up and the secrets from Celeste’s past come back to haunt them all . . .
