It is tourist season in Bandit Hills, with Halloween only a few days away. This means that things get spookier than normal. And for Bandit Hills, that means something! What came out this year had me shaking in my bare feet, just thinking of the possibilities! Can't wait for the next book in this series as I have it on good authority that this is a prequel to Halloween!

Yes! Super paranormal and seriously creepy. The mystery was amazing and honestly a bit disturbing if you think about what happened. This is probably my favorite book in the series so far.

I really did enjoy reading book 6 in the Bandit Hill series. I mean there really wasn't that much of the paranormal like I was hoping for but enough that I could tell that is what is was. This time it was focused around Halloween and a crew came to town to set up the Scream Asylum at the old sanitarium. Well of course Cassie discovers a body but now she has to figure out what happened because someone every close to her was accused of murder.
I did miss a few of the regular characters in this book but when you get towards the last chapter, someone you have come to really enjoy is starting to act weird, so I wonder what is going on there but I can't wait to see what happens. All in all this was a good book and more on the paranormal size instead of culinary. Great job Blair!!!

That's Bandit Hills for ya
Love paranormal cozies that are less kooky witches with cat sidekicks and more creepy ghosts, murderous witches, and grimoires? Then this is the series for you. Yes, the title and cover implies a culinary cozy, but the main characters are the owner of a second hand shop, which specializes in the unusual, with more than a few genuinely paranormal items, and her boyfriend, the town's only private investigator.
In a town where the unusual is the norm, ghosts are everywhere, and Halloween is the busiest time of year, it only seems right that the abandoned asylum is the setting for a Halloween party featuring a fright tour. Only, the fright becomes all too real when the body of one of the hosts is discovered on the tour. Things get really serious when our beloved PI, Dash, is arrested for the murder, leaving Cassie, the shop owner, to solve the crime and prove her boyfriend is innocent.
This book has just the right mix of creepy, cozy, and fun. It's neither overly creepy or sugary. There's an actual mystery that many cozies lack. Definitely a must read for fans of paranormal cozies. I highly recommend it.

I was given a copy from the publisher in return for an honest review. The Bandit Hill Series has easily become one of my favorites and this book in the series does not disappoint. Although this book seems very light on ghostly encounters, it is still very exciting and I coulnd't put it down until I finished it. Bandit Hills is getting ready to celebrate their biggest holiday, Halloween of course! Cassie always finds excitement and trouble so when Dash starts acting strange, you know things are going to be good. Even though this is not a culinary mystery series, one of the best things about it is the food that Bonnie cooks. I have been drooling since she got a hold of that cookbook in Miss Miscelanea. The settings in the book are great, what better place to have a haunted house tour than in a haunted asylum. The characters are just that, characters, so this new cast is also a lot of fun and full of suspects when one of them turns up murdered in the haunted tour. The regular characters are great too. After Halloween though, I can't even imagine what will happen. I am really looking forward to the nect book and more mouth watering food.

The tourists are flocking to Bandit Hills for the Halloween season. They want to see the local ghosts and all the other paranormal activity that is just everyday life for the townspeople. Cass and Dash are gearing up for night of chills at the old sanitarium which is housing the yearly production of the Scream Asylum, featuring the Scream Queens. On a tour with one of the owners leading the way, they discover the body of the other owner's wife. This is a fun series that features a little paranormal with a lot of great mystery and murder. Enjoy the scary thrills of solving a murder from the comfort of your chair.

I always look forward to reading a new release in The Bandit Hills Series and this one doesn't disappoint.

There are several references to past installments of this series and for that reason, I recommend you read the books in order. This way, you will have the full impact of those events and how they have shaped the characters - though it isn't really necessary. I really enjoy this sereis and look forward to reading more from this author.

This book is creepylicious! This spooky Halloween themed novella takes us back to the old sanitarium for a haunted house that is full of frights. Bandit Hills is again in the spotlight and is attracting unsavory individuals. I enjoyed following Cassie as she uncovered the clues and tried to get Dash's name cleared. Readers who enjoy paranormal mysteries, especially Halloween themed cozies, will enjoy this book. I received this ebook from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

It's almost time for Halloween and Bandit Hills is buzzing with tourists and excitement. The old sanitarium has been converted into a haunted house and the whole town shows up for the main event. Little did they know that the main event would exclude murder.
This series is very enjoyable and this selection keeps you guessing whodunit. This series is a must read.

This one has some twists
I really liked tis one. I figured out pretty quickly who the killer was. I just didn't expect the surprise twist. I can't wait to see what happens next especially with Bonnie.

Had a awesome fun time reading this spooky book. The characters were very quirky and crazy that was what made the characters great. You might guess who is the murderer , but not how it comes out after all.

A real good one.
So everyone in this book is having a hard time. The new characters are good and the regular characters are great. Many people to think who was the killer. You will find out. No cheating.
