I listened to this and it took me a little while to get used to the narrator's accent. After I did it was a good cozy mystery. Katie joins her aunt and uncle in Savannah to help open their bakery, learns she's a witch, and solves a murder.

Q84 I love this series 3y

Winter 2021 is complete!
This was a really cute cozy mystery. Kate relocated to Savannah to open her bakery shop with her aunt and uncle. When a murder takes place right outside her shop, Katie finds out she's a witch, her parents kept it from her all these years. Her aunt and her band of witchy women help her navigate her new reality.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ No #wicked witches in this magical cozy mystery set in a bakery in the city of Savannah. Naturally there is a murder that needs to be solved in order to save the mc's beloved uncle from going to jail. A fun, easy, light read.

Loved this new to me series. The characters are well developed and the witches and magic flow naturally as part of the story. The mystery is good and kept the story moving. The romance has a triangle but seems to favor one more than another. Looking forward to the next one. #readwomen #audiobook #cozymystery

And here‘s the reveal! Thank you so much @Lynnsoprano !! Two new-to-me authors and two that have been hanging out in my TBR forever! The chocolate, I‘m happy to report, did not melt. 😋 Such a cute mug, two adorable notepads, the candle smells amazing, and a little bear too! I love it all, you are amazing!

Cozy mystery with magic laced baking!

Everything was a little silly and over the top, but really fun. And I loved the focus on female friendships and older women-younger woman mentorship.

I'm a little tired of love triangles, so that shaded my enjoyment of this book overall. And the ending felt like a ripoff, like the author went back over her draft, found the character least likely to have done the crime, then picked that person. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

1. Fave dessert?: Tiramisu. Coffee + mascarpone = perfection.
2. Nuts in Brownies (Yes or No)? YES! Hardly anyone makes them with nuts & it makes me sad.
3. Ever gotten a speeding ticket? Yep!
4. What do you listen to in the car? Books/Music/Podcasts?: Audiobooks. Sometimes the radio - especially if it‘s early & I‘m too sleepy to focus. My favorite station is WUMB, out of Boston. I always discover new-to-me folk artists.

Y‘all - I just loved this little mystery. Very lite, fun and beautifully written. The pace was just right and was hard to put down. I‘ve already ordered the second book 📖 in the series “Bailey Cates
Bewitched, Bothered, and Biscotti: A Magical Bakery Mystery”. Setting is in Savannah GA 🍀 which happens to be my fav city in America and is about five hours away from me 💕. Fun, fun read 📚

MuddyPuddle @LitsyOwl I'm going to spend a week in Savannah in May. Any special things or places I should see or do? Any cool bookstores to visit? 7y
LitsyOwl Lucky you 🍀! Saints and Shamrocks is a fun gift and book store. Also, The Book Lady, E Shaver Bookstore and Bay Books. There are many more than that there. I enjoy staying on Riverwalk and also going on the dinner cruise 🚢 on the river boats. @MuddyPuddle (edited) 7y
