Another highly enjoyable book in this series!
Tabby, Sherlock, and Detectives Jay and Aaron are back to solve another murder mystery.
This story takes us from the fun and games at the Harvest Festival to the scary goings on in the Fright Night fund raiser haunted house. Tabby and crew will need to figure out the connections between the hysterical crying woman and the dead body in the bathtub.
As time is passing Tabby seems to realize the benefit of her witchy insight when wearing the sea glass necklace is real. That with her logical connections on her spreadsheets and Sherlock's leading comments and book passage references help her piece together the clues.
This is a clean stand alone story.
I was given an advanced copy of this book for review.

There is a mystery in Crystal Cove when a dead body
turns up at the haunted house fundraiser run by the witch coven in town. The body was already dead but was removed from the morgue earlier that night only to be discovered by Tabby as she was helping to clean up after the visitors had all left.
Once again Denise has crafted a fun mystery for us lovers of her books to solve along with Tabby and her detective boyfriend. As all the clues surface one can see that there were a lot of things going on that night that people weren’t aware of. The M.E. says the man died by accident but the bereaved sister thinks that he was murdered. Time for Tabby and Sherlock to get investigating and get to the bottom of this mystery!
Denise’s series are such a joy to read! If you love smart cats and an engaging story that will keep you focused on the clues to the end I recommend you get this book and this series as well as the Mallory Beck series for you’ll surely enjoy both!
I love this series and think it’s an excellent escape from the troubles we see all around us. These characters have become my friends and I can’t wait to see what new adventures are waiting for them and me to read abut!
Pick up this series and see if you don’t agree that
you’ll be happy you did so!

After what might be her first real date with Jay, at the Harvest Festival for humans, Tabby heads over to help the town witches with their annual haunted house fundraiser. Tabby has a fear of basements so she offers to help in another part of the house, only to find that her fears follow her when she finds a dead body that turns out not to be a prop; it’s a real dead body. The witches blame the humans. The humans blame the witches. Poor Tabby’s caught in the middle trying to solve the crime while not making anyone more angry. Sherlock, as always, is awesome. He’s always right on top of things. Quite a bit of humor throughout. No shortage of suspects. A great mystery. Such a good series. Can’t wait to learn more about Aunt Lizzie and the rest of the family. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Great bonus epilogue to the story tells about Tabby's mom's visit and Aunt Lizzie's powers and her relationship to mom. Can't wait to find out more.

The third book in a fun cozy mystery series that kept me turning pages to the end. Tabby is finally going on a maybe it's a date, with Jay to the town Harvest Festival. She is getting used to fitting in living in her aunt's houseboat. But there are two factions in town, the human faction and the witch faction who decided to have their Fright Night Haunted house open at the same time as the Festival. Feeling an obligation to the coven, when she leaves the festival, she goes to help out at the haunted house. Of course, Tabby says she would help to clean up after the Haunted House was over and runs into a body...not one of the zombie bodies, but a real one in the bathtub. She called Jay and a detective friend of hers. But the coven is angered she did that and now she is in trouble while the town thinks she had something to do with it. But she has to figure this out to clear things up. This is a fun book with some laughs as well as twists and turns and surprises. I love this series. It is fast paced and fun! I received and ARC of this book but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.

Tabby is back at it. She is somehow always in the wrong place at the right time! This time, she discovers a body in the bathtub of a haunted house on Halloween.. She is again in the center of a murder mystery and Sherlock is right by her side helping her solve yet another case. I absolutely love this series and this book doesn't disappoint. Frightful Friday has twists and turns I didn't see coming and it really made me root for Tabby. There were some laugh out loud moments [or maybe I found them funnier than I should have seeing as how I was enjoying this book so much] and it kept me hooked until the end. I love Denise Jaden's writing style - it's always a treat to read her books. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

It was an okay story. This one was the third in the series. I haven't read the first two books, but I don't feel like I particularly missed anything either.
Tabby is a decent protagonist. I just don't get why every author had to have some civilian who solves every crime in all of these small towns, either with or without the police. If the protagonist is that good at solving crimes, shouldn't they be on the police force or at least a PI? I find it hard to believe that the higher-ups at the police department are always fine with some random person helping with cases.
The rest of the characters are kind of bland and one-dimensional. Jay is the detective who asks Tabby for her help on all the cases. Marigold is the head of the local witches, who has a chip on her shoulder about everyone and everything. But even with that chip, she's kind of bland. Rachel is the devoted acolyte who doesn't want to cross the head witch. Honestly, the character who was the most interesting was Katie, and she's only on like a dozen pages. Seriously, give that girl more page time. I want to know about her and why she seems to be more than she appears.
The whole church goers vs. the witches fued was really not important. Other than a few complaints at the beginning, it really isn't mentioned as anything important to the plot. Honestly, this whole plot point could have made way more of an impact during the whole investigation if it was played up more.
The victim was some random guy from out of town. I feel like that was another huge miss. I didn't read the first two, but having some random person be the victim just didn't cause any connection for me. It was sad that some random person got murdered, but no one in town had a connection to him, which meant the reader didn't have a connection to him.
The other thing I thought was a miss is the lack of supernatural things. Seriously, there is a witch on the cover. So, show me some spooky stuff. But other than Tabby mind talking to her cat and having a couple of crystals that affect her dreams or warm up if she's saying the right thing or goes cold if someone is lying, there is nothing else in a story that includes a whole coven of witches. Really? I would have enjoyed it more if the witches were actually seen doing something magical rather than just running a haunted house.
There are apparently more books in this series, but honestly, I don't see myself reading any of them.
My rating: 3 stars

Halloween hijinks
It’s Halloween in Crystal Cove and there’s a bit of a rivalry this year. The witches and their friends have a Fright Night which outrages the good church going folk who run their own Harvest Festival. Tabby is attending both first the festival as a casual date with Detective Jay Jameson then the Fright Night to support her friends who happen to be witches. Helping clean up the latter Tabby makes a rather gruesome discovery a dead body sitting in dry ice in the downstairs bathtub. Tabby calls Jay then the other detective she knows Aaron Thom and he comes out to investigate. The head witch Marigold seems to blame Tabby even though she only came in to help clean up. Poor Tabby she finally felt like she was fitting in and making friends and Marigold seems intent on throwing her to the wolves at every opportunity. That’s just the start of this very strange case. Tabby is determined to help as finding clues and sleuthing make her feel as if she’s contributing something worthwhile and that she is really helping people. This case is a bit odd and let’s just say it takes sibling rivalry to the extreme. Tabby, her two detectives and Sherlock the cat are on the case to make sure justice will be served.
Love this kooky town and it’s myriad of mysteries. Tabby is lovely and intelligent, always willing to help a friend and very relatable as she navigates a new town and trying to find her place in it and life in general. Love how Sherlock the cat in true cat fashion is always two steps ahead of the silly humans lol. I really liked the new character Katie even though her part was limited she really shined I hope she appears more prominently in future books. A fun witchy read!.

This is my third attempt to review this book. Hopefully I will get this one posted without it disappearing on me again.
Denise Jaden hit a homer with this one as well. The tension between the church people and the witches is growing. Tabby is becoming more comfortable with the magic that surrounds her. Sherlock is as adorable as always. Jay is a dream, and Aaron is even becoming a bit more tolerable. Between the church ladies, the witches, a crazy lady from out of town completely distraught, and all the people caught in the middle, there is no shortage of surprises. And let’s not forget the new kid in town. She’s a surprising addition to the already great cast of characters that Denise Jaden has created. Makes me want to visit Crystal Cove even more.
This is a great series for moms to read with their teenage daughters. I know teenagers live in their own world, but reading books and planning special days to go to a favorite restaurant or coffee shop, the beach or hiking trail, and sharing thoughts about the book and what’s next for Crystal Cove would make memories to last a lifetime. If I had a daughter, that’s what I would do. Since kids are always on their devices these days, grab the ebooks. But I digress…
I highly recommend this series that can be enjoyed across generations. Happy Reading!
And now Book 4…

Another enjoyable entry in Denise Jaden’s Tabitha Chase days of the week series. In the third outing, Tabby is settling into her new life in Crystal Cove with a job at the cafe and a casual date with Detective Jay. She’s also opening up to her witchy skills using her sea glass pendant. As Halloween approaches, tensions are running high between the religious community and the local witches. Tabby finds herself in the middle when she alerts the police to the corpse at the witches’ haunted house. The head witch is quick to through Tabby under the bus and alienate her from the other witches.
Like the previous 2 books, the story moves along quickly. Tabby is a genuinely likable character, who while helpful in solving the case, doesn’t over insert herself into the investigation. And although she wants to be accepted by the other witches, she’s not willing to compromise her integrity in the process. The supporting characters are great, especially Sherlock and Katie as Tabby’s new coworker. Aaron & Jay’s working relationship is conflict free and Aaron’s acceptance of Tabby’s presence in the investigation is refreshing. I can’t wait to see what’s next for the group as Tabby learns more about her aunt and her powers.

Tabitha matures
This is my second book in the Tabitha series and I enjoyed it just as much as I enjoyed the first. The setting is still not clear in my head with respect to the coexistence of the witches and the normals as well as the reasons for having them being called witches when they do not do the expected "witchy"stuff. So, this is one of the many things I accepted, having made the decision to just enjoy the story. There are some good ideas/concepts that I feel are left hanging for the reader to make the best of e.g., Sherlock, what is his real purpose? Why did the Aunt commit suicide? Why is Detective Jay the officer to be called for certain cases?
If you can ignore these and other questions, accepting the book for the light read that it is, go ahead and read. You will enjoy reading.

Frightful Friday is book #3 in the Tabitha Chase Days of the Week Mystery series by Denise Jaden.
Tabby finally goes on a date with Jay, but the evening doesn’t end as she expected. There is a body found in the witches’ fundraiser and is it part of the feud between the witches and the local church group?
This is a fun series. I love Sherlock. I enjoy seeing Tabby starting to embrace the fact that she can’t ignore magic. It was an interesting mystery and there were twists that kept me guessing. I look forward to seeing what happens next with Tabby and Sherlock.
Thank you to the author for the copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Tabby has professed a distaste for frightening events and scary movies
tensions between folks at a church Fall Harvest Festival might have bubbled over to the witches at their haunted house
A real body and a bunch of folks with secrets and lies makes a befuddling pool of suspects and some confusing crimes.
Can Tabby help unearth a real case, along with some better suspects- if she survives?
clever kitty Sherlock and a new friend might be just what she needs
witty, insightful and a bit dry and witty dark humor.

A little pedestrian but an engaging storyline.
Welcome to Cristal Cove where it's Halloween and the feud between the church parishioners and the Witches is still ongoing. Tabby and her cat Sherlock are once again helping the police with a case of accidental death by poison mushrooms it all seems cut and dried until new facts and omissions come to light and it just may be a cleverly staged murder. Lots of fun with all the usual strong characters, magick and possibly even a little romance. A good addition to the series, well worth a look. Baz.

Tabby is new to Crystal Cove, where she resides in her late aunt's houseboat with her cat, Sherlock. Some people in town don't like that the town has a group of witches; her late aunt was the main peacemaker between the two groups. The witches hold a fright night on Halloween as a fundraiser, and among the scary artifacts is a real dead body. Tabby is dating a local policeman, and I was puzzled that he took her along on his interviews investigating the crime, but the town is pleasant and the characters are likable, especially Tabby and Sherlock.

Tabby and Sherlock are back again and this time it's a Halloween haunted house run by witches with a disturbing body in a bath tub. This is a perfect example of a Halloween cozy. The excitement and drama is crazy good. The twists threw me off the trail for a moment but a few more turned pages brought me back. What a glorious holiday haunt.

Another adventure for Tabitha. Like how the relationship with Jay is proceeding slow and with caution. Tabby discovers another dead body, of course. Slowly getting to know the other residents and dealing with the witch community. I enjoy reading this entire series.

Another great book to the series!! This one has Taby on a date with Jay at the town Harvest Festival. The same night when the witch's are having Fright Night where a body is found. It's an interesting story with some twists, moves fluidly with descriptive scenes and is a great read.

Lots of suspects to sift through with a lot of odd motives too. It's Halloween and the witches of Crystal Cove are hosting a haunted house. A little more spooky than was planned when a dead body is found in the house. Who is the body and why is it there? A number of strange happenings occur, but what do you expect on Halloween? Can you solve this one before Tabby and Sherlock?

Tabitha Chase is out with Detective Jay Jameson at the local church’s Harvest Festival and her witch friends are having a Fright Night haunted house at the same time. When a body turns up Tabitha helps the detectives solve the crime. Enjoyable cozy.

I didn't care for the book, and basically just skimmed over the second half of it but I can't withdraw because Booksprout will punish me for it.

Strange premise, but had interesting details. It follows the format typical of women sleuth books ie. boyfriend is a cop. And the magic and the cat with glasses … different.

I can't say anything particularly good or bad about this book - it's a part of the series I enjoy when I want to feel good, rest my brain and read something with very low stakes. And it serves its purpose well!
