3. This book was so bad and so hard to get into, I ditched it I did not start with book one, so I came in on this one out of the blue I was so confused There were so many characters, so much going on, I could tell I was missing a great deal The author did not bother with back storying , so I was left in the dark Ive read many cozies leading up to Halloween and came in on them without reading their book ones, and had no problem The authors gave you enough to know what was happening between character [...]

7. I haven t read any of the other books in this series, but got this one because it had a Halloween picture on the front It barely even mentioned Halloween, except for the sparse parts about the main character working at a haunted house fall festival The murder didn t even have anything to do with Halloween, or take place at the haunted house The main character was so annoying She falls into the category I call Peppy Cheerleader Puke She acts and talks like a 13 year old She uses the phrase make o [...]

20. Behind Chocolate Bars by Katny Aarons was a disappointing mystery I bought it because of the Hallowe en theme and that was good The murder mystery though wasn t the sort where you can follow the clues because there were hardly any at all The murderer wasn t introduced until around page 70 There were only three scenes in the entire novel where the murderer had a few lines to say The murderer was a very peripheral character And, the resolution to the mystery happened way too quickly.
