This book club is whooshed right into the pages of a cozy mystery. The quirky group of brave members must solve the mystery and reach The End to get out of the book.

In each book of the series, they travel to a different world and meet paranormal characters. It could be shifters, fairies, genies, ghosts, or anything else! It’s so much fun, you’ll wish for a book club like this!

In this book journey, they travel to an enchanted amusement theme park. It’s a magical, wonderful place, but something is disturbing the park. Robberies are occurring from every ride. It began with little things, like props or costumes, but now the stakes are rising.

The book club has entered this story so that they can find out who is behind the thefts and stop the problem. Hopefully, they can do it before chaos strikes the entire theme park and closes it down, leaving hundreds of workers jobless and thousands of park visitors disappointed.

Carousels and Characters by Elizabeth Pantley brings the book club members into a book that is based around a theme park.

Will the book club members stop the thief?

The Book Club

The Snapdragon Book Club members are dealing with losing Glo to her forever book while gaining a new member in Cosmo. Paige, out of them all, is taking it the hardest since the plans that the aunt and niece discussed won’t be happening anymore.

The other members are all doing great. They love having Cosmo around, as he brings in another touch that the club needs. Cosmo’s touch is that he brings joy to anything he does, which they need, even if it’s just a simple robbery going around a theme park.

The Mystery

Yup, you read that right. The Snapdragon Book Club is going into a book designed around a theme park. The theme park is totally different from what we will experience in the real world. I don’t want to give away how unique this theme park is. You will have to read the book to find out. I had my suspicions about certain theme park employees, and one of my suspicions turned out to be correct.

Four Stars

My rating for Carousels and Characters by Elizabeth Pantley is four stars. I recommend this whole series to anyone who loves paranormal cozy mysteries. It’s a great series, and I love all the characters. Ms. Pantley has a great way of making the reader feel like they are experiencing the journey into a book with the characters.
