Description

THE END IS BREWING …

Love, lattes, and world-ending drama – life just got a lot less cosy for Lydie, teenage daughter of Death. The YA romcom/fantasy obsession you didn’t know you needed.

Come for the cinnamon rolls, stay for the apocalypse.

Lydie, the daughter of Death, a retired Rider of the Apocalypse, is obsessed with ‘cosy’; cosy books, cosy job in the family café, cosy low-drama life.

But then secretive, attractive, and above all annoying, Kai, bursts into the café in a flurry of autumn leaves, with secrets that threaten to change everything.

Big, un-cosy things are coming for Lydie whether she likes it or not, and working with Kai might be the only way to protect her town. Provided she doesn’t fall for him first …

TROPES FOR THE CAFÉ AT THE END OF THE WORLD
¤ Grumpy/sunshine
¤ Forced Proximity
¤ Enemies to … well, that would be telling
¤ Brooding ML who just needs a hug
¤ ‘I totally have to kiss you right now or else we’ll blow our cover’

PRAISE FOR THE CAFÉ AT THE END OF THE WORLD

‘With timeless yearning, apocalyptic stakes and a cosy setting, this is a delicious treat of a book’ – Niyla Farook, award-winning author of Murder for Two

‘A comforting, cozy hug set against world-ending stakes and heart-pounding adventure. After reading, you’ll never want to leave the Snug’ – Ann Sei Lin, author of Rebel Skies

‘The perfect balance of cosy, coffee-shop vibes with thrilling, world-saving stakes’ – Zeena Gosrani, author of This Dark Heart
