Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Death of a Halloween Party Monster in Books
Aug 26, 2023
I don’t read this series, just the novellas when they are part of an anthology I want to read, but I found myself feeling right at home partying with these characters from the beginning of this story. I did figure out one aspect of the story early on, but there were several more, including the identity of the killer, that I hadn’t pieced together until Hayley did. It’s a twist on a locked room mystery, which is always fun. The ending was great and kept me turning the pages. There are also some recipes to enjoy while you read or at a party you are hosting this Halloween.
NOTE 1: This is a novella, so expect something shorter than a typical novel before you pick it up.
NOTE 2: This novella was originally in the Halloween Party Murder anthology. If you’ve already read it there, you don’t need to buy it again here.
Book Divas (227 KP) rated Twisted Tales: A Paranormal Anthology in Books
Dec 12, 2017
If you are looking for some good stories written by some amazingly talented authors then look no further. Each story has a different element of paranormal surprise that keeps you on the edge of your seat on this fantastic roller coaster of a ride. All the stories contained within this anthology are well written with a steady pace and strong characters. You will definitely find yourself ensnared within the magical web that all the authors have weaved.
Really interesting mix of different perspectives and writing styles. I was impressed at how they were all given the same prompt and yet did such vastly different things with it.
Some of them really stuck with me. 'Forest Man' definitely got me the most. It drew me in wonderfully and successfully creeped me out.
