I just realized that I rate an alarming number of books 4-stars. I wish I could say it's because there's so much love in my heart, but then we'd all know that'd be bullshit. But it's true that I enjoy most the books I read, so hurray for that! And look, House Party Murder Rap really isn’t setting any new trends or anything, but it’s cozy and breezy enough to get through all simple like, and that's especially the kind of book I needed right now. Though, I do think the action scenes left a lot to be desired, in that they were kind of confusing. There’s a scene (like page 2, so not a spoiler) where Evie and Tom’s car is shot at, but it’s described in such a passive and vague way that when it was referred to in later chapters I was like, �wait, when were they were shot at?� This happens a couple times later too, but this is really just nitpicking on my part.

Evie and Tom make a charming pair, and their back-and-forth is the biggest highlight of the story in my opinion. Though Evie might be a little too kind at points. Every time she �trusted someone implicitly� I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes. Like, come on, you’re in a mystery novel, please get with the program. Otherwise, I’m really happy to have another mystery series with a million sequels to get into. I mean, I might never get to them, but the idea that they're there if I need them is a nice thought.
