I'm VERY late to the party here, but would like to mention my favorite paranormal series since we're coming up to spooky season yet again. If you haven't yet read any books in The Haunting Danielle series by Bobbi Holmes, you may want to give it a try! There are over 30 books in the series and I have absolutely loved all of them!👻

I know small towns are a cozy "thing". But, I really enjoy cozies that aren't set in small towns. Cozies are about relationships. And you can have relationships in a variety of places. Definitely gonna check out some of the series.

While many cozies take place in small towns, there are plenty set in larger cities! Have you read the Coffee House Mystery Series by Cleo Coyle? That's set in NYC AND features great relationship dynamics between the main heroine and her daughter + ex husband!

They all sound great. Rose Pressy has a series called Haunted Tour Guide Mystery. I think it was one of my first cozies. The main character is a tour guide and I think she is also a librarian although I could be confusing that with another book. I really need to get back to this author since I read quite a few and there are a lot left for me to read.
Your video was recommended under another booktuber (Peter likes books - Peter Monn), and I clicked out of curiosity... and I’m so glad I did! You have the BEST personality!

I’ve found a fun Halloween themed cozy series on kindle unlimited. There are 16 books and I’m currently on book 5. The series is Pumpkin Hollow mystery series by Kathleen Suzette, the series takes place in Pumpkin Hollow a tourist town that celebrates Halloween all year long! They are fun quick reads and I enjoy the town and characters.

This is my third video from you and I agree with your recommendations. Both of Heather Blake’s series wish craft and potion one are great Victoria Laurie does another fun paranormal series that if I remember correctly there is a cross over with the ghost hunter. The psychic eye series follows Abby who has always been psychic and has built a business around it. If you want to try a fun different series try clean sweep by Ilona Andrews. It may not quite fall into cozy but I love that series. The main character is an Inn keeper. Earth is a stop over for people from different worlds. The authors use traditional vampires and wear wolfs and gives them a whole new history and origin

I enjoyed the video. I haven’t read any of the series you featured. I have started The Charmed Pie Shop Mystery series, which does feature a with and a coven type group of characters. I’ve also started The Magical BakeryMystery series, which also has some elements of magic. Right now I am reading some fall/autumn cozies for all of the fall/Halloween vibes 😊🍂🍁🎃

As I am not a great fan of paranormal I still enjoy them especially if they are laced with humor, one of the best is Pamela DuMond's Annie Graceland series and Tamara Berry's Eleanor Wilde series, the first in the series Seances are for Suckers is one of the best books I have ever read, sooo fun.

I will definitely try the Wishcraft mysteries, I have seen a few of the series at the library and have always said that I will get to it. Now is the time!! However, I hate series that go on and on. There have been a few series like Hannah Swenson mysteries by Joanna Fluke and the Tea shop mysteries by Laura Childs, I have had to stop because after the like 10th book, it just seems to get repetitive, and I find that I start not liking the characters...its weird I know. However, liked the video :)

LOL I'm the total opposite and I love long series. But I totally see your point! The Wishcraft one is long, but I don't think it's more than 10 books. So you don't have to worry about it dragging on!
And Posted to Death. Intriguing.
