Ill-Fated Fortune by Jennifer Chow
4.0
Book #51 read in 2024
This is a fun start to a cozy series set in a Magical Bake Shop. I'm not usually one to be drawn to books that have supernatural elements, but this was done in an interesting way. Both Lissa and her mom infuse their baking with their feelings. So, for example, if they are feeling sad, the baked goods make people cry. Also, Lissa is learning her power to write personalized fortune cookies for people after she touches them.
Amidst all these supernatural occurrences, a murder mystery unfolds. A rival fortune cookie baker is found dead outside Lissa's family bake shop, setting the stage for a thrilling investigation. Lissa and her friend, Kelvin, take it upon themselves to solve the mystery, adding an exciting layer to the story. This is a promising start to a cozy series, leaving me eager for more.
