YES! 1000 times this! This book definitely needed another round or two of developmental edits.

Glad you agree!! How did they manage to make murder boring? They really should’ve tossed the whole thing and started over.
Thank you this is the kind of review I needed to reassure myself not to bother. I’m two chapters in and I’m already questioning why we’re getting so much unnecessary information like what people call an advanced reader copy or what the weather is like in Oregon between September and October. I really didn’t need to commentary of the broken skeleton in her shop either.

It was so bad. Glad I could spare you the waste of time, Lisa!
For real!! To be fair, I enjoyed the ambiance the best, picturing myself in a cozy small halloween town. I feel there was also lots of plot lines that were dropped as well, like wasn’t Taylor’s resume that Lance have say “family connection”? or something along those lines, was Taylor his daughter? Where did the tunnels lead and why did Lance want to get into the tunnels so badly? I’m left with more questions than answers and the dialogue was painful.

The plot was just a mess! Sorry you didn’t enjoy this more, Amelia!
My thoughts exactly! Such potential, but alas, UGH.
