Love Bites by Cynthia St. Aubin
A snarky, supernatural cozy mystery romance you won’t want to put down
If you crave a paranormal rom-com with a heroine who’s equal parts walking disaster and utter delight, Love Bites by Cynthia St. Aubin will hook you instantly. This series hits every one of my buttons. It delivers sharp humor, chaotic-girl energy, slow-burn tension, and enough supernatural nonsense to keep you flipping pages like your TBR depends on it.
Hanna Harvey is, quite frankly, a menace—and I adore her.
She’s recently divorced, broke, exhausted, while juggling grad school, questionable life choices, and three cats with diva-level attitudes. Yes, she’s a disaster. But she’s a disaster with art-history skills, killer timing, and the kind of resilience only powered by cheese and sheer stubbornness.
Her tiny “okay-maybe-I-lied-a-little” moment launches her into a job at Mark Abernathy’s art gallery. From there, everything explodes into murder, mayhem, mystery, and some very distracting flirtation. Mark? Total smoke show. He radiates broody-boss energy and definitely hides a secret or twelve. Their relationship doesn’t go smoothly. It’s messy. Bumpy. But absolutely worth rooting for.
If you love art history—or have ever emotionally bonded with a museum gift shop—you’ll devour the art-world details woven through the story. They add depth, tension, and several “oh NO” moments as Hanna pieces together clues with the determination of a grad student running on caffeine fumes.
The mystery stays cozy enough to let you sleep but twisty enough to keep you guessing. The quirky artists, odd happenings, and supernatural edges create a world you won’t want to leave. Trust me—you’ll want book two ready the second you finish.
Love Bites is witty, warm, chaotic (in the best way), and the perfect kickoff to a wildly addictive series. If you want a supernatural cozy romance with humor, heart, and a heroine who will always put her cats first, this is your next read.
