The Fall of Candy Corn

A Sweet Seasons Novel, Book 2

By: Debbie Viguié

Narrated by: Laura Derocher

In the second book of the Sweet Seasons series, Candace has decided to spend another season at The Zone amusement park. But while working as a screaming mascot in the maze is fun, the park has more than a few serious twists—and scares—to offer.

Candace never thought she’d sign up for another season at The Zone, but the allure of working with her boyfriend, Kurt, and spending time with her new friends has made the job easier to bear. Though once she finds out her new job is working as Candy in the newest Halloween maze—a role based on her harrowing night in the park that summer that shifted into a wild story she was chased by a killer—things don’t look quite as promising. Her friend Josh makes things slightly easier to bear, but soon the stress of her family’s potential financial hardships, a suddenly strained relationship with Kurt, and the exhaustion of running and screaming each night begin to take their toll. Then dangerous things start happening inside the maze, and Candace starts wondering if maybe her urban myth is becoming a reality—which means her life may be in danger.

This is by far the best of the Sweet Seasons books.
The story is a light-weight tween YA christian fair.
For some reason, however, a different woman was hired to read it than the other three novels. Someone needs to tell her that people in Southern California do not, generally speaking, sound like Southern Belles or Debutantes. Also, it made no sense for Candice's parents to sound like pinch-nosed New Jersey phone operators. And the rest of the characters sound like they'd been lifted from or "inspired by" Daria characters (even though that show had been over 8 years before this recording was made. All of that combined to make listening to this book a painful experience. A responsible management decision would have been to pay the actor off, and re-record with the actor of the other three books..
