This is the 8th installment of the Magical Bakery Mystery series which is one of my favorite paranormal cozy mystery series. The author does a wonderful job of combining the paranormal theme with a culinary theme. I like the way the author writes the paranormal aspect of the series without it overpowering the plot, the mystery or being a distraction. The characters are well developed and if you are a fan of the series it is like visiting with old friends. Katie and Declan are settling in and getting ready for the wedding. We also get to meet Katie's dad Skylar in this book and find out a bit more about his magic. The mystery was well done and while the culprit was not a surprise, the author did a good job of laying down clues that tended to throw suspicion on to other suspects. The culprit was revealed in a climatic fashion that has unintended consequences for Declan.
I'm looking forward to seeing where the author takes this series and the characters in the future. I will definitely be returning to Savanah to visit the Honeybee Bakery.

3.5* Unfortunately this one fell a little flat for me. I didn’t enjoy the plot or how the ending was. I did however enjoy learning more about Katie’s dad and his background with magic. I’ve also been waiting (impatiently) for the wedding!!! I just wanna see Dec and Katie get married all ready! I cried like a baby when they got engaged and I honestly just need to see them wed! I love them so much! Overall I love this series! Just hope the next one is a tad better!
4* re reading this I liked it better the second time around, I’m upping my rating to a 4 star!
