review 1: Kiwi's review: One word would describe this story perfectly: Hilarious. Poor Gabby stumbles across what he thinks is a dead body in the foyer during the Brac Pack’s annual Halloween bash. Hilarity ensues when he notifies the other inhabitants of the house which makes this one of THE MOST hilarious Brac Pack stories in the series. Somehow or another, Johnny fancies himself a detective and is determined to solve this ‘crime’. He assembles his team which consists of Keata, Gabby and Nero and together this Scooby Doo crack team (more like a Scooby Doo team on crack) begins to investigate and solve the crime. All I can say is: who in the hell put Johnny in charge of an investigation? Their interrogation of members of Christian’s Coven, Zeus’ Pack as well as members of... more their own pack in addition to their CSI-like efforts in collecting evidence had me damn near falling out of my chair laughing. Hagen was not only successful in suspending the storylines to bring these characters together, but do it in a way that will have you in stitches. Besides being funny as all get out, this story emphasizes the love between the packs and covens. Even though they are all different species, all of them have a great deal love and affection for one another. They are always there for each other, just like a family. Well played as always, Lynn Hagen. Well played indeed.
review 2: With the 'Brac Pack' series being one of my favorite ones, and over thirty books to choose characters from, a big Halloween bash sounded like great fun. Make it a humorous murder mystery at the same time, and I had to get my hands on it. Just the idea of badass Timber werewolf Maverick cooking up a big party with help from Christian, the vampire prince, Panahasi, the head demon, and Zeus, alpha of the friendly Zeus pack, had me laughing.Johnny (a human) happens to have dressed up as Sherlock Holmes, so once the "murder" has happened (Cecil being the "victim"), he dusts off his detective kit and puts himself in charge of the investigation. He immediately recruits his three closest friends, Gabby, Keata, and Nero, as his helpers and the real chaos, ahem, fun can begin. Johnny's summary before they get started had me thinking I knew where this was going: "None of them were Watson, but a bumblebee, a hamburger, and a germ should be able to help him figure out what had happened here tonight." I don’t think there's a single murder mystery procedure that is accurately followed, and speculation and having fun "interrogating" everyone remains the main driver of what's going on. Clues are few and far between. With all the chaos it's a miracle some of the mates and couples still find the time for some hot loving, but then again, it wouldn't be the Brac Pack if they didn't!Adding to the fun is the fact that Remus, one of the last unmated vampires, thinks he has found his mate, a werewolf named Seymour who is dressed as Red Riding Hood, but the man keeps vanishing. When he finally finds him, things get very hot and very heavy pretty quickly. Oh, and then there's the separate party for all the kids at Christian's house. Too adorable for words, and the chaos is possibly even bigger there. I thought it was hilarious Christian pretty much ended up there because he preferred the kids ' company to that of the crazy four mates looking for a murderer. Of course, the solution to the mystery is pretty funny as well, and I am glad to say that all's well that ends well! If you like the 'Brac Pack' series and enjoy an amateurishly run murder mystery where it's all about the characters and their priorities rather than a real murder, and if you're looking for a slightly outrageous and vey funny paranormal interpretation of Sherlock Holmes's greatest achievements, then you will probably like this novella. Believe me, taking it seriously is one thing you shouldn’t do! The note at the end of the blurb basically says it all: "No humans or other worldly creatures were harmed in writing this manuscript. All was written in good fun." Enjoy! I certainly did. less
