Earl wanted to stop the Halloween Hayride. Someone ran him over with it. Can the Hayride get back on track before Halloween is ruined?

Tessa is back in her hometown, picking up the pieces of her life as a young widow.

It is the only way she can think of to take charge of her life and thank her hometown for welcoming her back when her life fell apart.

Small town life suspenseful

Good Halloween listen. Small town life filled with suspense, murder, secrets, friendships, jealousy, and love. Enjoyed book.

Narration was a bit off

The story was cute and I enjoyed the characters but the ai narrator was stiff. Some of the words came out wrong or were missing. The infliction was flat and often ruined the feeling. It was fun to follow Tessa and try and figure out who the murderer was.

Bad narration, cute story

The virtual voice narration was really bad on this. The voice didn't match the character at all, and the way it pronounced the word "hayride" was really annoying (that word comes up about 200 times in this story, so it's a bigger problem than you would think). Despite the rough narration, this was a cute story. I loved the Fall setting. The characters were likeable. I plan on continuing the series.

First Autumn Book of 2025

It was short, cute, fall theme, small town vibe. Very cutesy! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an autumn thriller.

Story is great AI voice blew it

The story is great and would be much better over all if it was read by a person with emotions. All was monotoned. It made it hard to keep my attention.
