But the big event, the one Lily Sprayberry is most excited about, is the haunted corn maze. When bad things happen to scarecrows scattered throughout the maze, county residents run screaming, threatening the success of the festival. Determined to figure out what’s going on, Lily decides to check it out for herself and fears the corn maze just might actually be haunted. Grab a blanket and snuggle in to enjoy this fun little small town, southern cozy mystery Halloween novella.

Bad AI narration esp in a southern story

The good is the environment. The cornfield and scarecrows. The plot was pretty bad but the atmosphere was good. Ai Narration esp a southern story is BADDDDD. Worth a free listen if you are bored.

Snuffed out

I got this series because of the story line and I was curious, that being said there was a few disappointments for me.
1. the virtual voice was a HUGE let down for me. It lacked the lilt for expression that I enjoy with a regular narrator.
2. I found the story often difficult to follow because the virtual voice didn't change the tone from one character to the next making it difficult to know who was speaking between characters. (ie 2 different females) Sometimes I had to rewind to listen again so I didn't miss a clue/or a conversation. Both funny one liners and sarcasm was lost due to poor virtual voice not having any sense of timing, or lilt in the reading - Think of it like Alexa reading you the newspaper -
3. Nothing is worse that getting a series and Audible doesn't identify which is book it is in the series. There is nothing in the titles to identify book 1 and book 2, etc etc etc - nor does it provide the link to follow the next in the series so you don't know how many books are in the series or what the name of the next book is - I find it annoying if I buy books and have them all but don't know the order - what's the point of getting the series if you don't know the order or how many in the series?
