This one was quite slow! Halfway through the book there was still no murder… Cozies are a hit or miss for me. Some I really enjoy and others are just too slow. #hauntedshelf #hexesandcrows @Catsandbooks

I‘m still unsure how I feel about this one. It starts out like a normal YA mystery, but it gets crazier and crazier as it goes on. There are supernatural elements and magic and I was left feeling not quite satisfied with how things turned out… #hauntedshelf #hexesandcrowd @Catsandbooks

I loved this one! It is hilarious!! You need to know it‘s satire going in and I know some people didn‘t like it, but if you like thrillers, especially Freida McFadden, I think you‘ll enjoy this.😆 #hauntedshelf #hexesandcrows @Catsandbooks

Honestly, this was so boring. It‘s not my typical genre and I feel like it was really hyped up, so maybe my expectations were too high, but this one just wasn‘t for me. I do really like the cover though. #hauntedshelf #hexesandcrows @Catsandbooks

Roary47 I went into it really excited, but also was pretty bored while reading it. 🥱 3w

This is very slow, so much so that the pacing seemed off. The discovery of a body didn‘t happen until three quarters of the book was over. By that time, I‘d kind of lost interest and was skimming through to finish the book. #hauntedshelf #hexesandcrows @Catsandbooks

Murder, She Wrote: Fit for Murder | Terrie Farley Moran, Jessica Fletcher

Love this series! Perfect series to read if you loved the show. Terrie Farley Moran is the newest writer on the series and she‘s my favorite. Donald Bain was also excellent, but the few by Jon Land don‘t quite capture Jessica Fletcher‘s voice. #hauntedshelf #hexesandcrows @Catsandbooks

This is so good! An accurate picture of what happens when people are too close-minded to consider they might be wrong about something. All of the Oz elements were weaved in so well and I couldn‘t put it down until I finished.
