I don't fancy books featuring death and gory scenes. Just the book cover says it all. Lovers of mystery books will greatly enjoy reading the book. Great review. Congratulations on BOTD.

This is a great book for the season. It's a mystery book that cuts across major holidays. Christmas, independence, Halloween. What's even more amazing is the suspense these mysteries embody.

I'm not a fan of horror stories and truth be told, they creep me out (just like those suppose to😂). But I can appreciate a good book, so congratulations on being the BOTD.

Though the review is perfect, I love everything about it but I'm not a fan of this kind of book. Kudos to the author for such wonderful masterpiece. Congrats on BOTD

Wow, this book is amazing. This is a fictional collection of short stories with eerie and unsettling tales involving ghosts, murder, death, kidnapping, and even magic in some cases. I'll check out the book. Greetings on your BOTD!

Once Upon a Time, the title is captivating. I lovw short stories but scary stories interest me even more. The fact the the book contains murder qnd magic makes me ecstatic. This is an author's masterpiece. Congratulations on BOTD.

You did a great job with the review. Very informative. It was helpful that you commented on more than one story.

I was not excited by the opening of the book. Too much information was fed up quite and it felt forced. However, the dialogues make up for it. Very dynamic, natural and realistic. And in the end I was curios to continue reading.
And I absolutely loved the title.

This BOTD is a mystery story that is super interesting as it has many captivating themes. However, I do not fancy scary stories. Therefore, I would pass on this one. Thank you for the great review; kudos.

This genre of the book seems not to be for me because it incorporates murder scenes. I'll pass it on to people who love it because it seems very informative. Congrats on BOTD.

I usually enjoy mysteries but not scary books. I'm too much of a scaredy cat for this stuff.

Scary stories can be great, but I don't think I'd enjoy one about Santa Claus's brother being scary. While I will be passing, those who love skin-crawling novels may like it. Thanks for the review!

This seem like a great book, if you like mysteries and thrillers and suspense then this is a perfect book for you, I don't suggest reading it if you don't like reading about people being murdered.

I think Bon Blossman's novel, Once Upon a Scare, will make an interesting read. Such themes as kidnapping, death, murder, and ghosts, among others, reflect societal realities. The good editing should give readers a smooth reading experience. I recommend this novel.
