I’m very excited to be welcoming Jaimie Admans back to Novel Kicks and the blog tour for the latest book in the Ever After Street series, Finding Love at the Magical Curiosity Shop.

In a shop full of stories, some magic is real.

Mickey Teasdale loves her quaint curiosity shop, where every item feels magical to her. She loves imagining the past owners of her knick-knacks and telling her made-up tales to customers, but lately, the magic has dimmed; the shop feels cluttered, and even her stories seem as worn as the items she sells.

Everything changes when the grumpiest customer Mickey’s ever met—single dad Ren Montague—walks in with his surly teen daughter, Ava. Ren hates mess and clutter and prefers order and calm, but he’ll do anything to see Ava smile. Yet, something shifts in him when he meets Mickey, who seems like she stepped out of her very own fairy tale.

When Ava discovers a secret diary, hidden from years long ago, she and Mickey believe it must have once belonged to a real-life mermaid! Ever sceptical, Ren tries to protect Ava from disappointment, but as they unravel the mystery together, something special happens…

Ren learns that happy ever afters still exist if you’re brave enough to look for them, and Mickey discovers that real-life can sometimes be way more magical than anything she could have ever imagined.

*****

Mickey adores her shop on Ever After Street. Carrying on her father’s legacy is important to her and she loves making up stories for all the items within. 

However, when she meets Ren and his daughter, Ava, she begins to wonder if her life is on the right track after all. 

Yay, a new book in the Ever After series. Not only that, this one is influenced by The Little Mermaid – not only the first Disney film I owned but the first VHS tape I had. Yep, I’m that old. Haha.
