It was cute and easy reading. I enjoyed it. The writing was good. It was the perfect story to read in halloween. It is between romance and mystery. I love how the author combined these different elements. But sadly, I didn't liked any character. There were many to feel connected by anyone. If I had cared about any character, I'd love more this story. But, I'll read more about this author because I like how she writes.

Such a cute cosy thriller, perfect for those wanting a quick read. There are lots of characters and I found it a little hard to keep track but this is possibly because I haven't read the previous 2 books in the series? Overall really enjoyable and would definitely recommend.

This book had a great concept. I felt it was slow reading. I prefer something that is fast paced or medium. There are many cast members to remember throughout the story as well. I had to put the book down at 40%. It did not hold my attention.

Thank you netgalley and publisher for the chance to review this book early!

This was cute. I feel like there were too many character to keep up with which made me a little overwhelmed.

Overall, I did enjoy this and would recommend to family and friends.

I would rate this 3.5/5 stars

Such an adorable valentines day read. I try to scorer books for the season at book stores and this should have been front and center on any holiday display,

However, the cast was a bit too big to keep track of everyone and some characters felt underutilized. I did have a little note to help keep track of who was who,

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I thought the plot of this book sounded interesting, but from the first few chapters I could tell that it wasn’t for me. The writing was repetitive, and there were SO many grammatical and spelling errors.

I picked it up without knowing that it was part of a series. The writing is too amateur with so many unnecessary descriptions and details. The book is set in a small town where there is an event happening for authors. The characters are too boring and one dimensional. The murder happens after about 25% of the book, but it’s still not interesting.

This was such a perfect Valentine's Day read, but genuinely could be read any time of year. I love books about books, so if you're down for a bit of murder, this is going to be great! Also, if you enjoy this, you should check out Look Up, Handsome as well!

Not going to lie Valentine Day is my least favorite holiday and a town that goes all out for it kind of scary. But throw in a murder mystery and I'm hooked.

I was initially drawn into this book by the gorgeous cover but the plot had me hooked from start to finish. Deadlines and Valentines is a cozy mystery set during a book festival in the small town of Fern Valley.

Whilst some of the twists were a little predictable, they were still lots of fun and the array of quirky characters really adds to the story!

I originally selected this book because I absolutely loved the adorable cover, but as soon as I read the description I literally became obsessed with this one! It was everything I wanted in a book!! A Valentine’s day BOOK festival, author speed-dating, all the treats and scenery… it was exactly what I needed for a book to read this Valentine’s week 💕💕
As with most cozy mysteries, there was a GIANT cast of quirky and zany characters. I did get a little confused trying to keep track of who was who though, because there were so many characters.
I absolutely love books about books! And the fact that this one includes a BOOK FESTIVAL?? I absolutely loved that!
I know these are supposed to be “beloved authors” but I honestly did not like any of the characters, and thus was not sad to see any of them go 💀 🤪
I enjoyed the included texts between characters because it almost added another few POVs to the story.
I definitely saw the ending coming 🤪🤪 but still a very enjoyable murder mystery!
I really really love when authors include recipes in their book! It just shows that the author went to so much extra effort writing their story 💕💕 I absolutely love that!
Thank you so much to Netgalley and Level Best Books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review 🩷

A book about a Valentine author/book retreat/festival was right up my alley, especially with a murder mystery thrown in. However, this fell flat for me. There were too many characters, none of which stood out (except maybe the dog, Bijou). I had a really hard time being invested in any of the characters or story and considered quitting, but I did push through, and it unfortunately did not deliver in the end.

I really liked the cozy theme, honestly made the book better and of course the mystery involved, I will not forget that.The book was a fun read, easy, good plot and characters and definitly caught my attention.
Also it was my first book from the author and I don't have much to complain

It was a sweet resd. Perfect for the valentines season, but it wasn't something that will stick out to me in all fairness.
But it was still good! Cozy, mysterious, a crime and love.

Deadlines and Valentines is a nice cosy mystery, perfect for when you want a quick easy read with nice vibes. You can read this as a stand-alone as well. Although this is nothing new in terms of mystery I still enjoyed reading this and believe a lot of other people will too.

I want to start off by saying that the cover of this book is stunning! Paired with the description of the book being 'cosy Valentine's Day mystery', I was sold. Unfortunately, it just didn't hit the way I was hoping it would.

Before I get into the reasons why I didn't love it, I want to mention that I can definitely see why some people would love Deadlines and Valentines. I think for me, it just came down to the writing style. It wasn't my favourite. There were parts of the book that I think could have been cut because there were so many random chunks of information that had no relevance to the storyline. I think the storyline had a lot of promise but there was too much filler for me, to the point where I just ended up skimming for the most part. With that said, I hadn't read any of the other books in the series prior to reading this one so it could've very well been my own fault for not having enough of an emotional connection to the main characters to care about a small mundane things they did.

This all simply came down to not connecting to the author's writing style. Those who do enjoy it will most likely not share my opinions which is one of the great aspects of reading.

After several attempts at reading it, I had to DNF the book at 35%. My 2 Star rating is based on the fact that the book wasn't for me but I can still understand why other people would love it.

“Deadlines and Valentines” by Heather Weidner is a cozy mystery that totally charmed me from start to finish.

One of the things I really enjoyed about this book is how well it mixes humor with intrigue. The plot moves along at a perfect pace, never dragging but always keeping you interested as new twists unfold.

Overall, I would highly recommend “Deadlines and Valentines” to anyone who enjoys a good mystery with a cozy vibe. It’s a fun, well-written book that offers a great mix of suspense and heart, making it the perfect read for a relaxing afternoon.

This was a reasonably solid cozy mystery. I was able to follow it without having read the previous books in the series. It was a quick read, which was a plus. The setting and overall vibes were the highlights for me. I found the plot kind of slow and didn't really feel connected to the characters, possibly because I haven't read the previous books, but it was a decent enough book for what it was.

I read an ARC of this book from NetGalley. All comments are my own.

A fun cozy mystery! This was my first Heather Weidner book but definitely will not be the last! I look forward to reading back into the series to learn more about these characters.

this unfortunately was really not for me. it was paced, written and executed weakly, even though I usually love something like this
