I love my visits to Whispering Falls. I can't believe I let myself get behind in this series but glad I picked it back up. This author does such a fabulous job of creating the town of Whispering Falls that the reader is instantly transported and feels as if they are actually visiting. I love June but boy can she get herself into some trouble. I love how the author is writing the relationship between June and Oscar as well has how it is progressing. The villagers and secondary characters round out the cast nicely. They are all well written and full developed characters. These are people you feel like you know.

I loved this latest trip to Whispering Falls and can't wait to catch up with the rest of the series.

CAUTION! THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK ALREADY!!!!!!!

This is another good book by Tonya Kappes. Though I did just realize that I read this book and the last book I reviewed backwards. The reason I did that was because I didn't realize that it went this one and then the last one I reviewed. But oh well. This book was very good.

I knew that Petunia had family members that were spiritualists I just didn't know that she had a cousin and a sister though. I really do love this book series and I actually can't wait to see what Tonya does in the next book.

I actually can't believe that Petunia's sister though was mean like she was though she hide it quite well. But yes this is a good book and I well give it a five star review!!!!!

So I wrote this whole rant about how much I can't stand June and pretty much the entire town of Whispering Falls, KY, but Goodreads glitched and the review disappeared. Now I can't be bothered.

Basically, June sucks. She makes bad decisions, gets herself into danger, and is in general a huge dummy. The plots are all the same. Someone gets hurt or killed, June is the only suspect, and the whole town immediately turns against her. She strikes out on her own, puts herself in danger, and then the crime is solved and all is forgiven. Throw in terrible dialogue and unrealistic, unlikeable characters and you have yourself this series.

I can't remember what else I said, but basically I'm the only person who thinks these books stink. Seriously, a high 4 star average? WTF? Some of the greatest books ever written have a high 3 star average, therefore showing us you cannot trust the stars people apply to books here. These books are terrible, June should move away from Whispering Falls, and no one should live happily ever after. The end. 1 star.
