This was light, fun, and easy going.
Unfortunately, this contained another racial slur commonly used to disparage Roma peoples.
Sigh.

I really loved the last 1/4 of this book, but the rest just wasn’t for me.

4.5 rounded up.
I absolutely adore this series! I've been a fan of this series since the first book, Seashells, Spells, & Caramels. I look forward to each book coming out! Thankfully, Ms. Johnson writes them quickly so it's never too long of a wait!
A blogging friend of mine recently said that this was his favorite of the series so far. I'm at a toss-up between this one and the fourth book, Cookie Dough, Snow, & Wands Aglow as to which one is my favorite. I really liked this one, but I really liked the last one too.
I'm totally in love with the characters in this series. I relate to Imogen so much! Our personalities are similar and I can also understand her curiosities and her feeling torn between things. I don't want to give anything away, so I'm not going to say what she's torn over.
This book took us to the Fire Kingdom, which was a desert setting with high heat; draping, light fabrics, and good food. The setting descriptions were excellent. I was able to easily imagine all the locations as well as characters and other things.
The plot line was wonderful. It was complex, well thought out, and there were plenty of red herrings as far as whodunit. I was surprised at the end. I hadn't completely put two and two together this time.
All in all, another wonderful, magical book in the series! If you're going to read the series, you really do need to start with book one, Seashells, Spells & Caramels. Run, don't walk, over to Amazon to pick that one up and start enjoying this series! You won't be sorry!

As with all the books in this series, I loved it.
I was glad to see the love triangles come to conclusions.
It was also good to learn more about one of the other kingdoms too. I'm really looking forward to the next book!
Re-read,
I have just listened to the audio of this book and loved it even more the second time round.
The narration is wonderfully done.

I love Shaday so much. The story was worth it for her alone. I would like to see Imogen be more trusting but I understand why she isn’t.

I am just going to say that I am totally #teamhorace so haters beware! LOL This book was such a roller coaster! My emotions were all over the place along side Imogens. Be warned you will want to read this book in one sitting, there is so much going on, you won't want to wait for answers! Erin does a beautiful job of framing all of Imogens emotions perfectly. Personally I think she can do better than Harry/Hank. I love how well the baking, romance, and Horace stories flow together throughout the book. It makes for the right about of suspense and laughs as you read. I can't wait discover more about all of the above!
