I thought this second book in the series was a lot of fun, and while the romantic relationship between the two MCs isn't as thrilling as it was in book one, I felt it was an appropriate next step. I really enjoyed seeing there be some questioning of the relationship without unneeded angst over it. It felt a lot more realistic than similar circumstances in other fiction I've read, and I loved the change. The mystery part was enjoyable (and within reach of the reader to figure out alongside MC Heather), and I do enjoy the magic system in this universe. I hope we get another book in the series, because I'm having fun with it.… (meer)

This is a cute cozy mystery with magic and baked goods... in other words, right up my alley! Though I will admit, I wasn't aware at first that it was going to be a cozy mystery. I had somehow expected more of a romance and less of a mystery. (Not that this is a problem; I love cozy mysteries.) The characters are a lot of fun, the setting is as believable as any contemporary+magic could be expected to be, and the whodunnit was complicated enough that though I had guesses and came to some conclusions before the MCs did, I was never so far ahead of them that I got annoyed. This was a really fun book!… (meer)

Heather and Sinéad have now been together for a few months and they are still getting to know each other. They have gotten much closer, but they still need to learn to share their burdens/stresses with each other. A new mystery gets dumped on their doorstep and Sinéad has to come to terms with the family that abandoned her as a baby. She meets her twin brother, and I loved him as a character. The mystery was interesting and I like the girls working together. They really compliment each other well.
