My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an adorable story about monsters hiding under the bed. The illustrated characters look real and I like the details on what the monster looks like. It’s scary but not scary for a book. The monster actually looks nice. And there are dust bunnies under the bed like you would find in a kids room who didn’t clean very much. I also love the sign hanging on the girl’s wall! I didn’t know the book was based on a Hindu teaching take by the same name. It’s an interesting adaptation!

Better Gnomes & Gardens (Mysty Haven Mystery Book 1) by Casey Cardel – Review by Brandy Vaughn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book one in the Mystery Haven series and I loved it! Starting out with mention of the legendary Bigfoot, this story already captured my curiosity. Bob is a character I could get behind and cheer on as he agrees to solve the mystery of the missing gnome. The owner of the gnome, Doug, had me cracking up with his sarcasm right away. This is a wonderful debut cozy mystery. I look forward to book two!
