“It was a sweet little read. The opening really got my attention. I loved to hate the gossipy old lady that meddled. She was the best character. I enjoyed that it was a christian fiction. The love story was very sweet. It was a humorous story and I was glad to read a book that didn't make me think to hard. ”

“Good - best book of the "boo" series... but not nearly as good as the "Storm" series.”

“This is such a cute book. I can totally picture this as a Hallmark movie. Now, that being said, if you're not into the heartwarming kind of story, then this probably isn't for you. This is a Christian fiction, so I can imagine that would turn some people away, as well. However, I admit, I was hesitant about this book at first, but for being a Christian fiction, it wasn't too overbearing.

Skary, Indiana sounds like such a charming little town--I'd live there! The characters really pulled the story together. As I was reading this book, I could see it playing through my head like a movie, that's how developed and clear the characters were. All of the characters had their little quirks, so this book was about more than Wolfe Boone being saved. There was also the whole scheming plot held together by the town busybody, Missy Peeple (who I did not like--I'm not a fan of busybodies). I liked Wolfe--he seemed like a good guy. I loved Ainsley, too. She was so sweet, and I loved that she was so into Martha Stewart (because on the days I feel like being honest with myself, I am, too). Even the minor characters had such distinct personalities, so much so that I could picture the perfect actors to portray them.
This story not only includes romance and the religious factor, but it is also so funny. The characters were so comical, especially the group of schemers. I laughed out loud multiple times during this read.
Overall, I thought this was a really cute story, and I'm glad I read it. However, like I said, this is a light read and one of those heartwarming stories, so if you're not into that, I wouldn't recommend it to you.
I haven't decided whether I want to read the next book (Boo Who) yet or not, but part of me feels like I'm not ready to be done with Skary, Indiana just yet.”“This book had some funny parts and some thought provoking parts, but it was a little too silly in some parts for me. I was really let down by the ending. ”

EEN NOGAL ONGEWOND LIEFDESGESCHIEDENIS
Het beste dat Skary, Indiana, ooit is overkomen, is de beroemde horrorschrijver Wolfe Boone – of ‘Boe’, zoals de bewoners hem liefkozend noemen. De teruggetrokken schrijver was de afgelopen zestien jaar de grootste attractie van het dorp. Onbedoeld heeft hij het voorheen kwakkelende Skary in een eersteklas toeristenlokker voor de duistere kant veranderd.
Skary is beroemd geworden door de boeken van Wolf Boone en de schrik slaat dan ok menigeen om het hart, als Wolfe tot geloof komt en zich afkeert van het horrorgenre. Als hij vervolgens ook nog eens achter Ainsley Parker, het liefste meisje van het dorp, aan gaat, zijn de rapen gaar. Snel wordt er een plan gesmeed om de angst weer terug te brengen in Skary – en om de beroemdste inwoner van zijn verliefdheid af te helpen en hem weer aan zijn huiverwerk te zetten.
Doorspekt met humor en dorpse charme en gedragen door de eenvoudige boodschap van een volhardend geloof, laat deze romantische komedie zien hoe een aantal van de vreselijkste bemoeials en huichelaars voorgoed door God veranderd kan worden in een echte gemeenschap.

“A cute story - one that could easily be made into a fun, rollicking play! Lots of characters - both flighty and solid. An easy read - 1st of a series of 3 books.”
