Thank you for the tip! First Grave on the Right has been on my TBR for quite some time.

Kristie | 3595 comments I suggest getting the first and starting it to see if you like it, then adding the others. If you don’t care for it, you could be stuck with a while series to review.

Alison (a1ison74) | 2826 comments That would probably be sensible Kristie but I'm leaning towards Vicki's approach. Maybe I should split the difference and get the first 2 or 3 ;)

Kristie | 3595 comments I don't blame you, Alison. I'm a bit biased because I was excited about the series, then didn't like the first one.

Alison (a1ison74) | 2826 comments Only 5 Karen?? If it helps I can pretty much guarantee your shelf is unlikely to be anywhere near as bad as mine 😂

Alison (a1ison74) | 2826 comments Most of the reviews I'd spied were great Kristie which is why I was so tempted. I really probably should read a bit first.

Lol well I read the first one a while ago and I really enjoyed it until the end and then I was a little concerned about where her character was headed. So I figure the next four is enough to have to review if I end up not enjoying them as much lol

Kristie | 3595 comments I think most people enjoy it, so hopefully you'll love it too. It has high ratings in general. It just wasn't for me. I had some specific issues with it that I just couldn't get past.

Yes, you've hit the nail on the head with what I was concerned about Kristie. I'll see what happens in book 2
