Summary

Get cosy at The Faraway Inn, the YA fantasy from bestselling author of The Spellshop, Sarah Beth Durst.

When sixteen-year-old Calisa arrives at her great-aunt’s bed and breakfast for the summer, she’s shocked to find it run down rather than cosy. Grumpy and eccentric, Auntie Zee is determined to keep anyone from messing with her beloved inn . . . even though she clearly needs the help.

To convince her great-aunt to keep her around, Calisa sets to work fixing up the inn, enlisting extra help from the groundkeeper’s (handsome) son. But the longer she stays, the surer she is that there’s something strange about the B&B – and its residents. Something almost . . . otherworldly.

The inn is hiding a magical secret – but secrets are like doors. Once Calisa opens this one, she won’t be able to go back . . .

All stars
Most relevant
I really enjoyed reading this book as it gave exactly what you expect from a cosy fantasy; magic portals, loads of cakes, a simple but warm romance and not forgetting all the magical creatures.

I would highly recommend this book if you’re sitting by a fire, coffee or tea in hand and sitting in a comfy armchair on an autumn/winter night.

This was just so cosy and lovely! It didn't drag like I felt The Enchanted Greenhouse did and I found myself wishing I had more time to sit and read it instead of pacing myself with it.

Incredible

Loved this cosy story and would love to hear more but almost didn’t listen because of the narrator.

Great story, dull narration
