Let me tell you, diving into the Mitzy Moon Mysteries was like finding that perfect cup of coffee - unexpectedly delightful and impossible to stop at just one. I blasted through all three books in this box set faster than Mitzy can get herself into trouble (and that's saying something!).

Book 1 had me snort-laughing in public like a weirdo. Mitzy's introduction to her ghost grandma while being a murder suspect? Pure gold. The way she bounces between klutziness and street smarts makes her feel like your best friend who always finds trouble. That demon cat Pye? I want one, despite the terror.

The narration by Coleen Marlo is chef's kiss perfect. She nails Mitzy's sarcasm so well I found myself talking back to my headphones during commutes. Each character has such distinct voices - from the hunky sheriff to crabby employees - it's like a full cast performance.

While Books 2 and 3 dialed back slightly on the laugh-out-loud moments, they doubled down on heart. Watching Mitzy navigate family drama while still nearly getting killed solving mysteries? Classic her. The paranormal elements blend seamlessly with small-town cozy vibes near the Canadian border - an unexpectedly cool setting.

What really hooked me were those 'just one more chapter' moments at 2AM. The mysteries are clever enough to keep you guessing, but it's Mitzy's growth from lost orphan to sassy sleuth that makes you root for her. Special shoutout to how real her flaws feel - she's not some perfect heroine, which makes her victories sweeter.

Pro tip: Get the audiobook version if you can. Marlo's delivery of Mitzy's snark is worth every penny, especially during her psychic vision scenes which could've been cheesy but instead feel thrilling.

Now excuse me while I immediately download Book 4...
