Halloween Mourning: A Cozy Mystery with a Ghostly Twist
Everly Dupree had dealt with ghosts before. Witches were another matter—especially dead ones.
When a local witch turns up dead just days before the annual Halloween event, Everly Dupree can’t ignore the uneasy feeling that the murder is tangled up in more than costumes and candy. There’s a coven in Mooselick River—and it’s been hiding in plain sight. What first appears to be a seasonal tragedy quickly reveals itself to be something far more complicated, rooted in belief, resentment, and secrets no one intended to share.
With ghosts growing restless and the clock ticking toward Halloween night, Everly must separate performance from belief to uncover the truth.
Because in Mooselick River, not every secret stays buried… and not every monster wears a costume.

Great addition to there series!
Another great story added to this wonderful series. I can't say enough good things about this series. I always feel like I'm visiting old friends when a new book is added. It's a storyline that you look forward to reading and get excited when you get the notification that it was released. With seventeen books so far, there is never a dull moment or a lull in the excitement! Looking forward to there next one with anticipation!

Fun addition to the Haunted Everly After series by ReGina Welling & Erin Lynn.
Lots of twists and turns.
When a Wicca coven wants to hold a ceremony at the Halloween festival in Mooselick River, things get complicated like they always do when Everly is around.
Was the murdered witch the intended victim or a mistake?

A coven ceremony during Halloween festivities ends up in murder. Wrong person accused. Everly and friends look for the real killer. A deep loss of pain leads to the least likely suspect. Wonderful story but sad. Another ghost not related to this story shows up at the end. That story sounds like it's going to be good. Looking forward to it.

The relationships keep strengthening
I have enjoyed reading this series. The characters have become my friends, the humor keeps me laughing and the relationships keep getting stronger between them. I love how, no matter how much time has gone by since the last of this series was read, I can jump right back into the lives of Everly and her cronies.

Touching mystery
The usual suspects gather again for a Halloween that is supposed to be fun for the whole family, but ends in a murder shocking and confusing. As things unfold nothing is what it seemed. I did figure it out early on, but the loveable characters still make for a nice cozy read.

This book is too delightful to miss!
It is pure fun from start to finish, with a twisty mystery, simmering suspense, lots of humour, and the most wonderful characters. I would recommend it to anyone!

Cute, established series. Enjoyable with minimal angst. I enjoy the team approach to the issues as well as the future planning. So sweet to have the group together at the lake. This one was pretty emotional. Poor Scooter.

This wasn’t quite as good as the last installment, but I still enjoyed this return to Everly’s world.

Everly is used to dealing with ghosts but dead witches is another story. How will she handle this, will she solve the case. Intriguing and full of secrets. As always, amazing
