Status Updates From Chaos at the Lazy Bones Boo...

This book is not as cozy or interesting as others I’ve read.

There isn’t really a magical system.

I was hoping to like it bc it takes place just outside of Portland, OR but it seems more like she’s throwing in location names just to prove she’s been there?

I hope Bailey gets to have a relationship with her father now...
Although how awkward would that be...I feel like there was some chemistry between them initially. LOL

I feel so bad for Bailey.
Why does her Mom ignore her and treat her like she doesn't exist?!

good audiobook for drive cozy

This is such a comfort read for those of us who carry Halloween in our hearts all year round...

"The feeling dread in my stomach blossomed in my stomach like a corpse flower."

So far this mostly seems like fanfiction/wish fulfillment writing. I don't think the characters or the town have distinct personalities, there's no gripping hook or plot, and no real sense of atmosphere.
There's nothing wrong with it either, it's just like... it exists? So currently heading toward a 2 star unless the second half really saves it out of nowhere.

Obsessed with this now. Hahaha -- it's really pulled me in.
The dead body appeared at 22% and since then, I've been hooked!
