The Fall of Candy Corn by Debbie Viguié
2.0
A festive book for anyone looking for a book that takes place during October and revolves around Halloween. I really liked the amusement park and haunted mazes atmosphere.
Although, I found Candy to be more annoying in this book than in the last one. I thought there were some times when she was over dramatic and really overreacted. Like when she went on about how disappointed she was in Kurt because he was lying and fueling the urban legend story. He was just having some fun and she acted like she just found out he was lying to her and betraying her. And then when she freaked out because Tamara was getting people to go see her perform in the maze and she acted like it was the most humiliating thing ever to have people she knows see her in the maze. Like, really? If she didn't want people seeing her, she shouldn't be working in the maze. And then there was the whole thing with Kurt's Halloween party where she got upset because there was alcohol and people under 21 were drinking. She got so upset she just left the party. And then she was upset with Kurt because he wasn't bothered by the alcohol and he stayed at the party while she left. Like, oh no! Alcohol at a college party? Gasp!
Overall, the book was good for a light Halloween read. It was better than the first one, but those few instances with Candy overreacting made me not enjoy the book as much as I would have otherwise.
