4/5 ⭐️ The 5th one isn't in the database. I enjoyed the story but I have one grievance. The author changed the last name of one of the side characters, then in the next book that I've already started, they changed it back! 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

3.5/5 ⭐️ Not as good as the first three books but I'm invested in these characters

4.75/5 ⭐️ 2nd in a witchy cozy mystery series and so very funny! I laughed out loud at Selene, the talking cat! Enjoying this quick and light series!

2/5 ⭐️ Disappointed with this one. Immature characters and cult vibes 🤮

4/5 ⭐️ A first book in a fun paranormal cozy mystery series! Selene, the sarcastic talking cat, was my favorite part!

5/5 ⭐️ I loved this gothic haunted house story! The characters are gritty and determined. Very atmospheric

4.5/5 ⭐️ Enemies to lovers ghost story! Cara is a ghost speaker and ends up helping her school rival when he turns up dead in the woods. I hope this is the first in a series because it set up things for more adventures!

2.5/5 ⭐️ This was just OK. It's a murder mystery in a fantasy setting. I just never felt invested in the story and don't feel compelled to continue with the sequel.

#trappedinaspookyhouse

2/5 ⭐️ Really disappointed with this one for #FoodandLit Malaysia. A young woman and her family move back to Malaysia and the woman becomes a medium for her dead grandma. The grandma has unfinished business and chaos ensues involving gods and criminals. It's a great concept but it could have been executed better. Also the MC read like a teenager instead of a woman in her twenties.

#HexesandCrows Here is the point system break down for #HauntedShelf

I'll be posting more games and resources leading up to October, but if you have any questions just let me know! 🐦‍⬛👻🎃
