The Raven is Back !! . . .

The Raven, an omen of death, marked his victims with his shadow, gave Penny Nicols a few musical clues to start the “game”, and then killed his latest choices within 24 hours of the first Raven mark. The evil creature has followed her since she was a child and gone after anyone she made friends with. Moving to Riley’s Canyon and meeting the Morris sisters had allowed her to defeat the Raven multiple times and she has reunited with her heartthrob, Titus Church. They were not dating but their friendship was beginning to change. She was almost certain the Raven would be back very soon. Hummingbirds were the Raven’s opposition and she will be getting a tattoo of one very soon.

A group of friends head toward Musing Pines to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival. The Raven targets some attendees and one of Penny’s friends. Now the time is ticking and Penny must follow the musical clues to thwart the Raven before she loses her friend. Will she stop him in time? Or has her luck failed her?

So, Penny and co. are off to a fair where Jade is selling cinnamon buns from Delish Mode. Penny sees a whole group of people marked by ravens, and is a bit wary about the whole thing. Then Scrub is also marked and she's really worried. Anyway, it turns out that the problem is that the coffee has nuts in it, and all the people allergic to nuts have reactions and have to be saved with Epi-Pens and trips to the hospital. What really bothered me was that her sister's full name turns out to be Agatha Christie Nicols. Like really? I mean, I thought Tuppence was a weird name, but Agatha Christie is weirder 🤨

Allow about two hours for this family-friendly paranormal mystery that has Penny Nichols and Spades united with Titus Church and his friend Scrubbs in Riley's Canyon at the Twisted Sisters Tattoo Parlor late in October whence they venture with older sister Jade Morris to nearby Musing Pines for the Harvest Moon Festival.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a well written and intense cozey paranormal mystery with possibilities of murder a race against the paranormal evil that chases and haunts the heroine Penny a young woman on a mission a quest to find and become reunited with her twin sister that has been lost to her since their parents death years ago. Acquire " Spooked " today you won't want to miss out on enjoying it yourself as much as I have. Kat

I LOVED this book. Penny and Titus are finally in the same place, and she's hoping that she won't see the raven. Sadly, she sees a raven and must race against time to stop it. Penny is one of my favourite characters, and I think she is fun and super strong. I look forward to each new book.

A must read!

This novella is so vital to this series! I was also surprised by the twist. I totally didn’t see it coming.

I liked this short. Hualde does an excellent job with these novellas in her series. Some good character development.
