I absolutely loved this book! It’s such a fun book (despite being about murder pies). I love that there are recipes at the end too!

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.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that I indeed, enjoyed this book. There was a solid epilogue, romance without all the obnoxious tropes, and magic! Additionally, I loved that the main character used her magic for justice against men who wronged women. This was an easy “beach read” that I listened to while cleaning, and if the author comes out with a part two, I’d give it a read!

I mostly enjoyed this one, although I definitely had moments that frustrated me, specifically with the main character. I understood the reasons for a lot of those things, for example

Daisy’s reaction to seeing Noel at the NA meeting and her freaking out

but they did cause me some irritation.

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.
