I have mixed feelings about this book.  I like the idea, and if you like a hint of true crime it's great.  I think I want more character development though.  Still TBD on if I'll continue the series.

That's not quite how I expected that to end, if I'm being honest.  Not a BAD book, just a very abrupt ending! 

The main character gets carjacked and has to spend captivity in a cabin in the snow.  Enter general chaos, a few plot twists, but overall - you probably will figure out how it ends a few chapters in.

Book two of a trilogy - I'm conflicted.  I really enjoy the storyline, minus the annoyance of the broken hearted teen.... So someone doesn't love you back but would still die for you/be your friend.  Move on?

I have read this multiple times and I will continue coming back to it.  It's the perfect coming-of-age story to me.

I'm indifferent on this one, if I'm being honest.  It follows the story of a widow (guessing 50-60 range) and how she hides the identity of her groom until Christmas, which is when the wedding is. 

It's a super quick read, not a whole lot of "plot" other than the wedding situation itself.  The reviews on Goodreads are fairly negative, primarily calling the bride self-centered (I don't see it) and being annoyed that she mails videos instead of using YouTube.  I missed that part of the plot, but either way - it just makes her quirky! 

If you just want a super easy read, that requires little to no brain power to figure out and follow, this is perfect.

This book is the right fit for someone out there, I'm just not sure it's me.   The idea of this book was fabulous, and it could have gone so far but it fell flat to me.  I am going to hold out for the rest of this series, and hope it improves.

I really enjoyed this book! I would put it in a cozy murder mystery category personally.  You've for a witch, a little romance, a murder, and a fuzzy sidekick.  What could possibly be bad about this story?
