Trick or Treachery

The cozy Halloween backdrop was delightful, but I wonder if it toned down the suspense for some readers. How did others feel about the festive atmosphere influencing the story?

The festive elements felt so integral to the story's charm. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this as a series or just wanted to capture the holiday spirit.

The story was so cozy and charming, but the buildup seemed a little leisurely at times. Do others think that was intentional to build atmosphere?
