Book Review: Eat, Drink and Be Scary (A Ravenmist Whodunit Paranormal Cozy Mystery #1) by Olivia Jaymes

 

Blurb: 

Welcome to Ravenmist! A tiny Midwestern town with charming covered bridges, quirky residents, delightful antique shops, and more than their share of haunted activity.

It’s time for the annual Fall Festival, and that means the quaint Ravenmist Inn—owned by Theodosia “Tedi” Hamilton—is filled to the brim with out of town guests. It’s her favorite time of the year with all the spooky decorations, sugar-filled candy, and over the top costumes.

The festival doesn’t quite go as planned, however, when one of her guests is found face down in the apple bob. To make things worse, her best friend becomes the number one suspect. Tedi has no choice but to spring into action.

Come join the spirited antics as Tedi deals with an unsolved murder, a shy ghost in her closet, a mischievous spirit in the bookstore, and the handsome new local sheriff who drives her crazy. You see, he thinks all the ghost stories are made up for the tourists. But Tedi knows better, and now so will you…

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I found this to be a cute whodunit. Tedi was a hoot, very loyal to family and friends, determined to find a real ghost, and kept bumping heads with Jack, the new sheriff. We got to know quite a few of this small town's residents while trying to solve the murder of a guest of Tedi's inn. With plenty of suspects, some back and forth as to who committed the crime, a change in feelings between Tedi and Jack, this story kept me entertained. This was a story with ghosts, murder, friendships, and well worth the read.

This is my unsolicited review.

Reading Goals at the Half Year Mark

 

My Goal is Binge Listener - 20-30 Audiobooks for the year.

At the halfway point, I have completed 18 audiobooks.

I am looking good for the year.

My Goal is Silver - 25 Books

I have only read 6 Netgalley books.

This one I will need to focus a bit more on. I have several coming up, just need to actually read them.

My Goal is Level 3 - 13-20 Books.

I have read 5 books.

This has been a bit of a struggle. It seems that I read far more paranormal last year than this year. We will see how it turns out.

For this one, I have done well. I only have left E, Q, X, and Z.

I have gone through my TBR and discovered that I have books beginning with these letters. I will probably get through them by the end of the year.

For the Mini Challenges, I haven't done so well. I have completed 3 of the 6.

GOODREADS CHALLENGE

My Goal is 200 Books.

My current number on Goodreads shows 131, but I have 5 reviews to write. This is putting me 35 books ahead of schedule. 

This is my update for the moment. I have my fingers crossed that I can make up some ground with a couple of the challenges before the year ends.

I hope all your challenges are going well.
