Haunt Sweet Home has a mix of paranormal, ghost, and faux elements.
A quick, easy, cozy spooky season read! You can easily listen to this book in three hours. It's very interesting to read. The audiobook production is good, with different narrators. I like how the story is told in a reality TV style.

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe is book 1 in the Dream Harbor series. If you're looking for a fall, cozy, romance with a little mystery? This book is recommended for you.
It was an ok read, but I received the ARC for the other two books in the series and wanted to read the first book.

Dirty Calls! My gosh, this book started with a banger and just got better. The audiobook is phenomenal it leans more toward the graphic description audio because the sound effects had me clinching my pearls.
.
Slow quick and straight to the point! Can easily listen or read in 2 hours.

Now, this is how you write a good murder mystery! I devoured this audiobook, literally in one day. I just couldn't stop listening. The storyline is highly intriguing and interesting, and it caught my attention the entire time. This book was a breath of fresh air!
Capri makes a living by giving serial killer guided tours around San Francisco.
Capri has been interested in the topic since she was a kid when she discovered she's the granddaughter of serial killer William 'Overkill Bill' Sanzio. She's always believed in his innocence, though she's never taken the leap to fully dive into the case. But now an Overkill Bill copycat has struck in San Francisco. The case is back in the news, and the police will be looking to understand the past to catch a present-day killer. Capri could finally uncover the truth about Overkill Billโdocumenting the process with a podcast and a bookโand hopefully earn some money.
The audiobook is phenomenal. The narrator, Stephanie Nemeth-Parker, did a great job! Her different voices made it very easy to tell which characters were which. She was also easy to listen to, and I highly enjoyed listening to her.
