Murder in the Mix #2, 13, 14
Cozy Halloween Cozy Mystery Boxed Set
A Halloween spooktacular cozy mystery boxed set! Fall is in the air and so is murder.
A baker who sees the dead. One too many suitors.
And a killer. Living in Honey Hollow can be murder.
My name is Lottie Lemon, and I see dead people. Okay, so I rarely see dead people, mostly I see furry creatures of the dearly departed variety, aka dead pets, who have come back from the other side to warn me of their previous owner’s impending doom.
Lottie Lemon has a brand new bakery to tend to, a budding romance with perhaps one too many suitors, and she has the supernatural ability to see dead pets—which are always harbingers for ominous things to come. Throw in the occasional ghost of the human variety, a string of murders, and her insatiable thirst for justice, and you’ll have more chaos than you know what to do with.
Living in the small town of Honey Hollow can be murder.
Books Included:
Bobbing for Bodies (Murder in the Mix 2)
My name is Lottie Lemon and I see dead people. Okay, so I rarely see dead people, mostly I see furry creatures of the dearly departed variety, aka dead pets, who have come back from the other side to warn me of their previous owners impending doom.
Trust me when I say this is not a good sign. So, when I spot an adorable, fuzzy, little squirrel skipping around at the grand opening for my new bakery, I about lose it, until I realize it’s a perky little poltergeist only visible to yours truly. But there are so many people at the grand opening it’s hard to discern who exactly might be in danger—that is, until I follow the little creature right out the back and straight into another homicide. It’s horrible to see your friend lying there vacant of life. Honey Hollow will never be the same.
Toxic Apple Turnovers (Murder in the Mix 13)
Fall is in the air, the weather is crisp, the leaves are golden and the atmosphere is ripe for murder. It’s the first catering event of the season and I’m blindsided by what transpires at the outlandish party. Not only that, but I stumble upon the one person I would never want to see facedown in a flower bed. And to top it all off, something wicked has rolled into Honey Hollow and every dead spirit I have ever encountered is back to help me fight it.
Killer Cupcakes (Murder in the Mix 14)
It’s October and the entire town has come out to celebrate the Haunted Honey Hollow Festival. In between doling out cupcakes and partaking in the festivities myself, I happen to stumble upon a body—not just any body—one that has far too many skeletons in the closet for me to ever sift through. Add to it my already complicated love life, the ghost of a black cat named Thirteen, a surprise that I never see coming and you’ll have the most frightening Halloween Honey Hollow has ever seen.

Ushering in Autumn
A collection of stories written by prolific writer Addison Moore. The first three books are complete from her Cutie Pie series. The stories that complete the set are excerpts from other series by Addison Moore and Bellamy Bloom. I have a lot of reading to do.

Bobbing for Bodies (3 stars): So many names when one pops up later in the book, I have to go back to see who they are. Probably 90% of them don’t show up again so why name them? And why is everyone so drop-dead gorgeous? Not even a slightly overweight normal looking person in the crowd. All the women are model like as well. Nothing but beautiful people in that town. Talk about shallow. And the way Lottie literally ‘melts’ around Noah. Wow! So overboard on the attraction thing. She calls him (to herself) shining moon god, this god, etc.
Slight spoiler alert!!! What festival in their right mind would let a part of the entertainment weld a real chainsaw (and running it even)! If anyone even got slightly hurt, they could sue the owners for everything they had.
Despite my criticisms, it is a fun light read.
Toxic Apple Turnovers (3 stars): Not quite as many names to slog through like Number 2 in the set, but still…and again, no normal looking people in the bunch, all model types. Lottie is still shallow, hasn’t grown at all. A good enough read to pass the time, but nothing I’d go out of my way for.
Killer Cupcakes (3 stars): The number of cupcakes and other sweets she makes (almost entirely by herself-staff is there to wait on customers and ring up sales) is phenomenal, can’t image one person, no matter how dedicated and organized she is, can make that many. Gives away a lot in this episode, too. And really, I guess there are a lot of immature people out there, but to start a food fight with food that you have no intention of paying for. I’d have put a stop to that real fast. The ending was a surprise to me but didn’t make me care enough to go buy the next installment to see what happens. Like I said before, a good enough read to pass the time, but nothing I’d go out of my way for.

The three stories were pretty good but Lottie's indecision on which man she wants to be with is too over the top sometimes. But, the event that happens at the end of the third book, which is # 14 in this series, still had me wanting to keep reading to book #15.
October 24, 2020
Three, three books in one!
These are books #2, #13, and #14 in the Murder in the Mix series of cozy mysteries starring baker Lottie Lemon who also had paranormal talents—she sees dead pets, generally the long-gone pet of someone who’s about to die. These dead pets help
Lottie solve murders.
In Book #2, “Bobbing for Bodies,” Lottie is preparing for the grand opening of her new bakery, when she finds her friend Hunter dead behind her bakery. Her ghostly helper in this one is a perky little squirrel. Lottie has her hands full w/ a romantic triangle w/ hunky Noah and his former stepbrother, Everett. Noah wants to be an investigator and Everett is a Judge. There is next to no plot in this one, but there are a lot of names and characters to keep straight. There are a lot of suspects for the murder and Lottie sure has plenty of time for her romantic entanglements and sleuthing for someone who bakes for a living. In my experience, baking is a very labor-intensive
process. The correct murderer is caught after the obligatory life-in-danger moment for Lottie.
In the next book, #13 “Toxic Apple Turnovers,” quite a lot has apparently happened in the intervening books! So I can’t really buy the idea that these are all “stand-alone” mysteries, as they are advertised. It turns out that Noah had a wife come forward in the intervening books, and this threw Lottie straight into the arms of Everett. Lottie’s paranormal abilities have sharpened and the dead animals can cause corporeal effects now and she can now see ghosts of some dead people now as well. Noah is an actual police detective now who has a stalker of a girlfriend. A woman is found w/ one of Lottie’s turnovers, dead in a flower bed. Will the animals and ghosts save Lottie’s life? I LOVE the twist at
The end of this one, as a sham wedding w/ Noah turns out to have been real.
In #14, “Killer Cupcakes,” Lottie’s been given “permission” by Everett to try to make her marriage w/ Noah work, until it can be annulled. Really? He gave PERMISSION? Sheesh. The dead body this time is the pastor dating Lottie’s mother - and a close friend of the dead woman in the previous book. The ghostly harbinger is his former black cat, Thirteen. Thirteen is my favorite ghost so far. We all hate the creepy pastor anyway b/c Lottie figured out in the previous book that he’s using an alias and not who he claimed to be. It turns out he likes to marry widows w/ means and then clean out their bank accounts. So there are numerous suspects. Lottie empathizes w/ each of the wronged women as she investigates them, including her own mother! Lottie and Noah finally are married in every sense of the word, so that source of sexual tension is over in the series. A case of swapped identity solves this murder, and this book ends w/ an honestly-upsetting tragedy.
These books are basically an homage to Janet Evanovich and her wildly successful “Stephanie Plum” series, but those are SO much better-written, funnier, and the Morelli-Stephanie-Ranger triangle really isn’t a triangle the way Lottie’s is. Stephanie’s men are NOT on board w/ her seeing both of them, and when Stephanie is w/ Ranger, she’s always broken up w/ Morelli. The only similarity that works is that Moore’s similes and certain turns of phrase can be quite original and sparkling.
I’m assuming this “boxed” set was a $.99 deal on my Kindle. I have book #1 already downloaded so will read it to see how this all starts. Otherwise, at least the set was Halloween-themed for easy October reading.

Cozy Halloween Cozy Mystery Box Set — Addison Moore (3 books: 17/19/22 chapters) Dec. 12-13, Oct. 22-31, 2021
This is a three-book set that included the first book in the series and #13 and #14. I have had the idea in my head that I was going to finish the last two books in this set at/around Halloween 2021. I realized I had not read several of the books between the first and the 13th. I decided to read them in order for continuity. I realize now, I really didn’t have to.
The writer spends at least a chapter every book stating that she sees the dead and when that started and how it has advanced. And sometimes how she misses certain ghosts.
Plus, this character has not really grown since book one, which now feels like the best book in the series. I mean, pick a mate and move on.
Yes, she has two boys (a sheriff and a judge) dogging after her and she can’t make up her mind. That the fellows don’t seem to mind this much (however one seems a little more intelligent than the other) but this reader does after 14 books on this seem theme. [Reading descriptions of the latest still has this gal still sitting on the fence.]
Don’t get me wrong, the plot is fun. But the above knocks stars off. And now that I have finished the last of these I have, I am quitting this series. Especially since the last one feels like a cleaner break than the others.
So, here we go brief reviews here, potentially fuller ones under actual titles.
#1: Bobbing for Apples (Murder in the Mix #1) — [12/12-13/19] 17 chapters
I read this one a long while back, and it feels like it should be a beginning of a beautiful relationship. It probably is the best of the series. This book is set around Halloween and introduces characters and Lottie’s quirk. This one is set before she had two boy toys and before the ghost started doing strange things. Three stars.
#13: Toxic Apple Turnover (Murder in the Mix #13) [10/22/21] — 19 chapters
In this mystery, someone is breaking into houses to steal things and Lottie and the ghost help solve it, along with the newly deceased favorite critter to help solve that murder.
Several of the ghost from previous mysteries are on hand to help Lottie out of this particular mystery, but they can’t seem to help her decide which boy toy to choose either. Two stars.
#14: Killer Cupcakes (Murder in the Mix #14) — [10/26-31/21] — 22 chapters
The ending to this story was a bit of a happy curveball because it lets me leave without feeling much unhappiness. Overall, I have stated my opinions loudly above and in the book’s review. Two stars.
I loved the plots, not the ad nauseam “main story.” Sad I say at the end: “It’s done! It’s Done! It’s DOOOOONE!”
I started this on Oct. 6 but had to read several books before I got to #13, which is the discrepancy between the dates listed.
Two stars.

A collection of stories from the murder in the mix series and some previews of other books. All cosy mysteries with a spooky feel. Lottie Lemon is a baker who gets caught up in murders. She has the ability to see ghosts and often the pets of the deceased.
This was a good compilation of stories to get you into the series. I think to truly understand it all, you would need to read the books in order but I could follow enough. The mysteries are well done and clever. I enjoyed the baking references and her recipes sound amazing. My main issue is the love triangle it just seems to go on throughout the books which is a bit frustrating. A good series if you love cosy mystery and complicated relationships.

The stories were cute and mildly entertaining. However, the author lacks creativity with descriptors which became frustrating. A thesaurus might come in handy to avoid the repetitive adjectives. And for crying out loud, stop using the phrase “lids hooded low”. It is used countless times throughout the three stories to the point of being obnoxious and distracting.

Oh what a fun box set
I got interested in lottie lemon when I read an excerpt in another book. I do want to read the first book. But what’s great is you can read these books without any order and still follow along. I think they are funny and a little paranormal but a good mystery series.

Three Hallowe'en stories in one book.
I like having these three Hallowe'en stories in one book .Lottie owns a bakery and sees the ghosts of murder victim's pets. She has two men vying for her affections. There are suspects with different motives ,and crazy relatives for Lottie to deal with. Nice reads for the Hallowe'en season.

Excellent fun read! Hooked on the series now and started from book 1.

You won’t believe the ending, it’s a bit of a sad 😞 ending for Noah. Lottie still ends up with the “man of her dreams.”

Addicting
I love Addison Moore's writing. This series is no exception. Some very far fetched stories that you love to get tangled up in. Lottie Lemon is my kind of friend.

It was somewhat amusing but did not have me reading passages out to my husband like I do with a Janet Evanovich book. It was a disservice to both authors to make that comparison. It gives an expectation that is left unfulfilled. The one thing I can see as a comparison would be the fact that with both authors you have a heroine who is pursued by 2 gorgeous men.
There were too many characters who were not fully developed. It was confusing to try and remember who each character really was and how they fit into the story. She was a much better writer than some of the others I've read lately. She hardly had any errors in her story. Her use of the english language was excellent.
Her mysteries were interesting. The murders and the "whodunnits" were brain teasers.
My greatest disappointment was the lack of character development for many of the characters and the unrealistic romantic relationships. The ghost characters seemed to be more "in the dark" than I would expect them to be and the cat holding back crucial information and acting like it had been open all along, was not believable to me.
Cliffhanger at the end of the 3rd book------good move. I am wondering what happens in the next book. They were interesting enough to keep me reading all three books. I think with more character development and a more intricate relationship dynamic, she could end up being an author that keeps me up at night because I can't put the book down. Haven't reached that stage, yet.

Not to my liking
The first book in this set I barely got through, the writing was repetitive and boring, not to mention unbelievable. What man on earth is going to stick around and wait to have a woman who can't make up their mind as to who she loves? Both male figures do this and I find it irritating, to say the least. I read the second with the same results, although it was a bit better. The third book was the best in this the plot was better laid out and the ending was unexpected. I doubt I will read anything else from this author.

out of the 3 books in this set, I finished the first and made it halfway through the 2nd. The light hearted murder mystery series was ok, I just got a little tired of all the female characters being described as "slim, attractive model types". What happened to all the average looking people? Even the 2 male love interests of the main character were described as Adonis types that could have any woman they wanted. The story lines were good, but the character descriptions got a little tiresome.
November 3, 2019
This was more of a romance novel to me. It goes into rhapsody over baking goodies, and leaning back on a man’s rock-hard abs. I also agree with the review that complains about too many characters. The author kept throwing out names and relationships, but with no character development. It made it very hard to keep track of who was who. Sorry, just not my kind of book.

A great little cozey written with flair and humor , full intreage .The caracters surrounding these mysterys are full of viniger and spunk, making you wanting to fallow along and find out what happens next. Whether Halloween or not these are great cozey murder mystery's with just a slight paranormal slipped in. Aquier a copy of this cozey box set now and sit back relax and enjoy. 🙄😏☺ Kat

I'd read one or two other books in this series, so I thought a Boxed Set worth my time. Although I enjoyed the stories, some things caused me to only give it 4 stars, namely the oversexed mother, & the main character who couldn't decide between 2 men so she strung both along, willingly I might add.

This author KNOWS imply and infer!
The misuse of imply vs infer is a pet peeve. Most ebooks use it backwards, and so I was pleased to see it used correctly for once.
This is a silly little series, and I’m certain it cranks in the dollars, however it has overrun its course. Five books would have been pushing it. It is now past fifteen! Time to give up the ghost, IMO.

In this fictional town, love triangles and messy romance run rampant. It was disappointing that the mystery takes a backseat to the main character's never-ending romantic plight and passionate rendezvous.
For a cozy mystery, this has no offensive language, but it has a crazy amount of sexual innuendo. I only finished the first book in the set.
I did love the name of the bakery!

Disappointing
I didn't even finish half of the first book and to compare it to Janet Evonovich who I absolutely love is not accurate or flattering to her in the least. I was bored in the first chapter!

Good book.
This are good mysteries murder, romance, friendship and family . I would love to read more. Be aware that the last book ends in a cliff hanger so you will definitely want to buy the next book.

Not a favorite
I find her writing confusing. There are too many characters to keep track of them all, and all the sexual innuendo is distracting from the mystery. I didn't find the stories amusing.

Cozy Halloween
I enjoyed reading this boxed set. Addison Moore is a good writer but I did have difficulty keeping up with all the names of the different characters and their relationship to each other.

Adventures of Lottie Lemon!
I loved this 3 book set! Three different adventures of Lottie Lemon and the two men she loves, solving crimes together. She is a baker that sees dead pets and sometimes people that help her solve cases!
