So I took at chance on this holiday cozy for #SeasonalCozies hosted by @julieclair as the murder happened on New Years Eve, it had a cute dog side character. & it was free on Kindle Unlimited. Well, you get what you pay for. I wasn‘t loving it & was wondering why it was so long (440 pages) for a cozy & then suddenly, the end of Chapter 24 turned into the start of Chapter 3. Basically the book has a ⬇️

DebinHawaii … download error or something. So finally I found the last chapter (25) & it just abruptly ended with *spoiler* her losing her deceased aunt‘s dog. 😳 I ended up looking to see if the next book started with that as I didn‘t trust it was the end & it at least mentions it as a set up to the Valentine‘s themed murder. ⬇️ 11mo
DebinHawaii … Honestly, I really didn‘t like the main character even after she softened a bit & the story itself was disjointed enough that I don‘t care to move on. There‘s better series out there & I‘ll pick a new seasonal cozy for February. 11mo

It‘s always fun to have #NewBeginnings with a book challenge, so I‘m joining in @julieclair ‘s #SeasonalCozies 🎉 which is starting tomorrow for 2024!

The tagged book with be my pick for New Years/January/Winter because it‘s first in a series (Holidays are Murder) & it‘s free on Kindle Unlimited. (And there‘s a dog sidekick!) There‘s just 3 so far, so if I like this one, maybe it will become part of my #SeriesLove2024 list.
