Review: Town in a Pumpkin Bash

Town in a Pumpkin Bash by B.B. Haywood
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading about Candy and Maggie’s latest escapades. I just found it a bit confusing to keep track of all the supporting characters. All in all it’s enjoyable to read about the town in Maine there’s an underlying thread that is present in all the books so it’s important to read in order.

Review: Candy Cane Crime

Candy Cane Crime by Amanda Flower
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this novella and the narration by Charlotte. The Christmas backdrop to the story is delightful. This book delved into Charlotte’s feelings of being caught between the Amish and English worlds. It touches upon her indecision about baptism into the Amish District and how torn she is. I always enjoy reading about Harvest in this series and the Matchmaker series as well

Review: The Bletchley Riddle

The Bletchley Riddle by Ruta Sepetys
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a fascinating take on the code breaking work done during WWII. The youthful approach and some of the naïveté that comes with age made for a unique take on the topic. The mystery within the story and the determination of Lizzie to get to the truth was engaging. Even if some of the antics Lizzie pulled were a bit far fetched they still could be believable in a pinch. An enjoyable YA read

Review: You're Invited

You're Invited by Amanda Jayatissa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

wow twists and suspense abound

This book was an intense roller coaster ride. Set in Sri Lanka and involving the upper crust of society. The book centers on a high society wedding and the events leading up to it. The book alternates between wedding events and flashbacks building suspense and unraveling the truth as you read. A page turner that will keep you up at night trying to figure out if anyone is telling the truth or if they are all manipulating each other

Review: Hounding a Killer

Hounding a Killer by Kallie E. Benjamin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

creative cozy with twists

Lots of victims are piling up in IN in this 2nd book with Bailey and Pris The story unfolds much like a country estate mystery of old. The victims keep appearing and also remove suspects in the process. My only complaint with the book is there were so many characters it was hard to keep track of them all in the first part of the book. As it progressed it became easier to track people
