I enjoyed getting to know Joey and Raven and all the other characters. Solving the mystery was fun and surprising. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Reviews
Enjoyable in every way
Very good start to a series
A quick entertaining read. The characters develop at a good rate, leaving plenty of room o of further development in the following books. A light read that could be enjoyed by young and older alike.
A light cozy mystery read with a love triangle
The mystery was interesting and kept me guessing. There is a bit of a cliff hanger to entice you to buy the next book, but the main story was complete, so it didn't bother me as much as most of them.
This is more secular than most of Christy Barritt's books, so if you're looking for a deep Christian theme, you're not likely to find it in this novel. If you enjoy a light cozy mystery read with a love triangle... this one is for you.
TV Detective!
I enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to anyone who likes reading light,clean,and humorous mysteries with a touch of romance.
This is not for a serious adult mystery reader.
Worst example of a mystery I’ve ever read. No character development, no crime development to investigate. I found I didn’t care about the character—too much of a cartoon. Maybe a 12-year old would like it. I hated the references to “famous people” the character adored.
How did it win any awards?
The Worst
I really like this series. Great Characters I even liked the TV star, she was my favorite. Now to read book #2.
Excellent
If you love mystery and intriguing books this one is perfect. He dad is missing and she will do anything to find him.
Cute Detective Story
I grew up as a HUGE Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden fan. In a lot of ways, this story reminded me of those stories. A lighthearted mystery, that had just enough suspense to keep me intrigued. But not heavy like some of the newer suspense novels can be. I can easily see myself sharing this with my daughter when she hits middle school.
Having read all of Christy Barritt’s Lantern Beach series, it was fun to start to get the backstory on Jackson Sullivan and Joey Darling. I love reading interconnected stories, and I have a feeling this series is not going to disappoint me!
