There were a lot of little editing flaws I noticed: details that didn’t quite make since, redundancy, and grammatical errors for example. However,  I was really absorbed by the story, it had a fun plot and I really did care about these characters. Super super enjoyable read.

Whyyyy is she still friends with Melly in the end?After everything that happened I feel like that’s a relationship that could’ve been set down. Every detail didn’t need a happy ending. And Daisy implying that there’s a chance they could still get together???? At the opening of her perfect boyfriend’s cidery wtaf was that?

It was a mystery without any suspense. It was a romance without any tension. It was just all either really predictable or questions would resolve the page after they’re asked.

Quick Synopsis: When Daisy is threatened with her "murder" pie business of abusive men being exposed, she finds a family she didn't think she needed or wanted, and maybe even a significant other. She finally discovered that maybe what she thought was evil was justice.

 Quick Review:
   I LOVE this book! The feminism, the Buffy references, the dark humor mixed with emotional depth! Just *a chef's kiss* I can't wait to read the next book! I also loved the mythos of her family's magic.

The one thing I didn't understand was why she didn't just tell her half-brother that their dad had turned into an addict who was causing so much pain and suffering. It may or may not have helped.

  I also loved the thinly veiled President Donnelly discussions!

Narrator Rating:  4.5 stars
   The narrator did an excellent job, but some voices were annoying.

Daisy is the owner of pie before guys. On the surface a nice little pie shop but underneath all that is a woman making deadly pies to correct women's wrongs made by men . But when she gets an order for women she must choose to follow her morals or protect her identity
