I finally watched Coco, after much prodding from my teen daughter. I honestly thought this movie would be really stupid, and the trailers did not catch my interest. So I finally let the kids talk me into watching this for our movie night (spearheaded by the teen daughter that loves this movie). I was so wrong about this movie- while it had its dry points, it was overall a great one. This is a great way to introduce The Day of the Dead, and could be helpful for children experiencing a death in the family/close friend to understand that those we lose still live on in our memories and should still be celebrated. If you haven't seen it yet, make the time to watch Coco.

Can you Keep a Secret
By Karen Perry

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

 
Surviving the weekend depends on whether you can keep a secret . . . Lindsey hasn't spoken to Rachel in twenty years, not since her brother's eighteenth birthday party at their parents' remote country house. A night that shattered so many friendships - and left Rachel's father dead. Now Thornbury Hall is up for sale, and the old gang are back there, together again. A weekend to say goodbye to the old place, to talk about the past. But twenty years of secrets aren't given up lightly. Some won't speak about what happened that night. While others want to ensure that no one ever does.


I’m not one to write bad reviews I just try to put my honest opinion but would encourage anyone else to at least try the book!
For me this was just a no go I was so bored by the time I got to part two even with an event at the end of part one! I can’t put my finger on what was missing but I just didn’t find it entertaining at all.

A Haunted Flashback
This novella flashes back ten years to 2009 and a time when series protagonist Hayley Powell was still married. A new family has moved to town and moved in next door to Hayley and her young family into a long-abandoned house that is rumored to be haunted. When they move in, they are unfriendly and obviously keeping secrets, and Hayley’s husband, Danny, is certain that they are hiding something. When a dead body turns up in the woods behind their neighborhood, Danny is certain they are involved. Is he right?

I found the story here very entertaining, although I did guess a couple plot points early. Still, the solution to the mystery was a surprise, and I had to laugh at some of the events along the way. On the other hand, I found Danny extremely selfish and annoying, and Hayley does something extremely stupid, with is ironic since she complains about Danny’s behavior at times.

NOTE: This story is a novella, roughly 100 pages, and was originally part of the novella collection Haunted House Murder. If you have that book, there is no need to buy this ebook. If you haven’t read the story, now is the time to sit back and enjoy this Halloween trip to Maine.
