An interesting murder mystery. I liked the subject matter and the characters. Why only three stars? I felt the author could have allowed the reader to make assumptions, based on the information provided, as to what occurred. I felt there were places where everything was tied up in a bow, when the reader could have figured it out.

I had a good time overall. I found this really easy to get into and read. It wasn't what I expected going in, and I just wanted more from it. It is very much a murder mystery. Going in, I was expecting more of the paranormal aspect, which we don't get at all until the very end. The end had the vibe I was looking for, and I would have preferred the author to lean into that aspect throughout the whole book. Especially since the murder mystery element didn't have anything that was a big reveal or that I found shocking. The romance also fell a little flat. I think with more development it could have worked. I still had fun as the characters figured things out and could see myself rereading it.
