What can I say? I love everything about this book and I can't wait to read more!

I have come to know Heidi (virtually, anyway) and I love her stories and her writing style. She makes those words just flow off of the pages. When I saw that she had this wonderful, new series in the works, I just knew I had to read it. Also, I am a huge cover lover and how can you not just love this cover? I know I do. And then the story is about a young woman who bakes magical cupcakes, how awesome is that! Throw in a little witchery, both good witches and bad, and you have the makings of a fun, delightful, and very entertaining story.

'Light is always more powerful than dark, if you believe.'

I love Glynna and her innocence. At nineteen, she starts to learn things, about herself and her family, that have been kept from her and these thing are rocking her world.

'We're forbidden to mate, but that's not why we don't. The truth is we're not attracted to each other. We Luminas are drawn to love and beauty, truth and justice, dignity and peace. Occultos crave domination, violence, destruction and hate.'

And did I mention the magical cupcakes? Those parts were so fun. What if that could really happen - baking cupcakes and pies that can affect people's moods?

'What did you put in that batch of lemon-raspberry cupcakes? They're delicious, but everyone who's had one is in the mood to kill, including us.'

Cupcakes & Kisses was such a joy to read with a fun concept and great characters. I can't wait to see where the next book takes me.

'I've been such a fool to believe that happily ever-afters happen in real life.'

Oh, and you really need to go check out The Magic Cupcake Facebook page. It is filled with yummy cupcakes and they are doing a chapter count-up -- giving us a peek at a chapter a day. It is so much fun to go back and relive the story each day.
