Lights, Camera, Murder! Welcome back to Dead End, Texas! Where the dead talk and the living are buried neck deep in secrets.
Hereditary witch Star Bell thought her biggest challenge during the holiday season would be enduring her internet-famous, ghost-hunting sister, Daisy being back home. But when the crew of Supernatural Truthbusters comes to town bent on exposing Daisy as a fraud and someone from the show drops dead, things go from festive to fatal.
Now Star must once again embrace her gift of talking to the dead to help unmask a killer while navigating Hollywood egos and her own complicated relationships. With cameras rolling and suspects piling up, Star must figure out who's lying before someone she loves gets their final curtain call.
I read the first book in this series in November of 2025 and gave it 3 stars and saved it on my Kindle to remind myself to keep going with it if I ever got another Kindle Unlimited trial.
Well, I’ve got the trial, and I was in the mood for “comfort food” late yesterday afternoon, so I got this, the second book.
Which, unfortunately, suffered from what I consider a classic sophomore slump. It felt like something the author had written solely in order to provide scaffolding to get herself to the next book.
Sadly, that’s not out yet.
Back to this one: It wasn’t bad, per se, and it was something easy to read while battling various physical and mental health issues (nothing serious, they just seemed to pile up on me during Tuesday’s dreary weather). And, yes, I’m interested enough to see what happens next that I will be keeping an eye out for the next one.
Even if it, too, probably will be as convoluted-y as the first two.
My youngest niece has gotten me hooked on several things. Don’t worry, they are all legal. The first is Stargate SG-1; the second is the “In Death” series by JD Robb. And the third is this death series about a family of witches. The second installment is so good. I especially loved the ending. It was perfect!
