If you‘re a book-junkie AND true-crime junkie like me, then this book is for you!!😱

I didn‘t realize when these 2 started calling each other Sloth and Squirrel that there was a book series made just for them..lol…my hubby gave our granddaughter her nickname Squirrel because she is all over the place in high gear and we call him Sloth because he never gets in a hurry.🤣
The 2nd in the series will be delivered today for her collection🦥🐿️

This is one McFadden book that I‘ve seen get a lot of mixed reviews but, I really enjoyed it and glad I finally picked it up!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
A slow-burning, supernatural, creepy story that takes you back to the 80‘s. I did love the small town horror feel but the only reason it didn‘t get a five star rating was I felt it was a bit drawn out but all in all a great read!!👌🏼

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for the series!!!
I absolutely loved everything about these books! I felt like I was behind the scenes of an HGTV show getting all the juicy gossip!! And the endings brought a happy ever after tear to my eye!🥹❤️🎄

Going from naughty spice to a not so nice Christmas!
