Story
It was a rough beginning for Karma Bakery with the out-of-control sample days and interviews that went way past fluff pieces. But Arabella Baker and her two daughters, Kary and Mary, have the needed security in place and have hired the right people to fit into the new family they’re building. They even made some outside friends of the paranormal variety, and that’s not something they’re used to. Now that the store is ready and people are interested, the Karma Bakery is ready for opening day… Mostly. There’s more chaos than they could ever have predicted, and since they’re on the...

Story
My name is Inez Garner, and I’m a vampire princess. It still sounds crazy to me too, but again, the fangs sold me, especially now that I have my own and drink blood. Things have become more complicated as people give me answers, but I’m no longer alone to handle it all. I have Darius and Jaxon, plus my knights, and maybe one of the oldest vampires alive joining us to help keep me alive. That’s not terrifying or anything. But they think I’m Aether’s champion—who is not a guy, but the Goddess of everything—and that’s going to upset a lot of people. Which means they’ll want ...

Story
Being one of the most powerful enchanters ever and a woman doesn’t always have too many people giving Soraya Devil much credit… Even if most don’t have the balls to admit that to her face. That’s fine. She knows how to play the games and normally better than the people who start them. Her coven of those tossed from the enchanter community always has a list of enemies, but when there’s a ghoul on the loose in Indianapolis, that’s way too close for people not to be upset. However, there seems to be a silver lining to the bad news when Soraya meets a sexy vampire working the case ...

After surviving Halloween, Arabella Baker is determined to do things better while achieving what she planned with her daughters in moving to Boston. The fates seem to help her a bit, and the stars align along with putting together some helpful suggestions, and she manages a way to expand. However, nothing is ever easy, even for a goddess, and she hasn’t heard the end of the underhanded offers for her recipes. With how popular the bakery is in its first month and the attention they’re getting, the stakes are higher than she expected. It also means more shops opening in the park, and that...

My name is Tamsin Vale and… Uuuuggghhhh! I’m so tired of saying the same things over and over again without enough changing. I get the dirty councils out of the way, and new villains pop up in the form of fairy elders and ancients. I get them handled and the commanders are the problem. I smack them into line and the nobles are my issue. I catch a bunch of them red-handed trying to commit treason, and people are still listening to the lies of the remaining ones. Why do I even bother? Every time they push me too far, the line of what I’ll suffer just gets further and further from what ...

My name is Tamsin Vale and I’m finally putting myself first. If people won’t listen to me, are so determined to force me to be what they want, then I’m done working with them. I am a person, not something the people of Faerie own or all other supes can use and abuse. So I pulled the emergency brake and it’s time for a reset. I came into this world after my power went crazy and I unintentionally hurt people. This was only supposed to be six years I signed on for, and I was promised they’d teach me control so it never happened again. That promise wasn’t kept. Again… And it’s ...

And it’s killing me. Nothing is changing for the better, at least not for me. I’m doing so much to change the lives of millions, but there’s no improvement for me. So many people hate me, want to see me fail or dead that it’s all I see. I can’t get a grip living like this anymore, and no one’s hearing me that I’m serious. I couldn’t work things out with one mate, and now one is doing ...

My name is Tamsin Vale and… Things are getting better. They’re not all better. That’s not possible in the weeks since I made the deal with all fairies. A little better. I have hope we might not completely self-destruct, so that’s better than where we were over the summer at least. And I think fairies are starting to see me as a person more. What I was willing to do for them gave them a smack upside the head and brought them out of their own fears. Somewhat. It’s definitely going to be a long road to make progress, but that’s expected. I want it all done yesterday and everything ...

Arabella Baker, her daughters, and the Karma Bakery rocked Christmas. Now she can put more into place instead of constantly running to make all the orders for the holidays. Until Valentine’s Day at least. All bets are off then. She’s also excited to work on her personal relationships. She feels like she’s surrounded herself with friends rather than people who worship her or even just employees. People who really value her, and then there’s the men who want to be with her. Even with a hiccup, she feels like she can handle progressing her relationships. It’s a good place to be. So ...

Luckily, the crazy of the apocalypse keeps me pretty distracted. More ghosts are coming and while that fries me out, it’s helping a lot of people. Everyone’s pushing for us to stop living in the apocalypse and with help from other courts, maybe we can make it to post-...

My mental, emotional, and physical health all broke at the same time, and the recovery has to be slow. And I’m probably the most hunted woman on the planet, especially by a God and His minions.

Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?

Story
It was a rough beginning for Karma Bakery with the out-of-control sample days and interviews that went way past fluff pieces. But Arabella Baker and her two daughters, Kary and Mary, have the needed security in place and have hired the right people to fit into the new family they’re building. They even made some outside friends of the paranormal variety, and that’s not something they’re used to. Now that the store is ready and people are interested, the Karma Bakery is ready for opening day… Mostly. There’s more chaos than they could ever have predicted, and since they’re on the...

Soraya Devil is the Enchantress, one of the most powerful magics in the world… But she’s so much more than that, and everyone’s constantly attempting to unravel her past and secrets. She’s not worried though, as many have tried and never find out the truth. It’s safer for everyone that way. The owner of Paranormal Investigations—among other companies—she has her own answers to find. Though she’s continuously pulled in too many directions, she always answers the calls that make even her magic tingle in warning at the danger. When a sprite begins killing people in Chicago, she...

After surviving Halloween, Arabella Baker is determined to do things better while achieving what she planned with her daughters in moving to Boston. The fates seem to help her a bit, and the stars align along with putting together some helpful suggestions, and she manages a way to expand. However, nothing is ever easy, even for a goddess, and she hasn’t heard the end of the underhanded offers for her recipes. With how popular the bakery is in its first month and the attention they’re getting, the stakes are higher than she expected. It also means more shops opening in the park, and that...

It’s a new year, and as much as Arabella Baker wishes that meant a new her, even a goddess can’t make that happen. Her past and family have found her, and while she’s thrilled she’s reconnected with two of her brothers, Zeus and Hera won’t leave things alone. But that actually takes a back seat to the heartbreak she’s suffered. She would never have thought the man she’d been falling for was lying to her and a complete fraud. All she wants to do is help people and bring some good to the world. It’s all Arabella has ever wanted to do, but if the cost is so high to her, maybe ...

Even with a hiccup, she feels like she can handle progressing her relationships. It’s a good place to be. So ...

Being one of the most powerful enchanters ever and a woman doesn’t always have too many people giving Soraya Devil much credit… Even if most don’t have the balls to admit that to her face. That’s fine. She knows how to play the games and normally better than the people who start them. Her coven of those tossed from the enchanter community always has a list of enemies, but when there’s a ghoul on the loose in Indianapolis, that’s way too close for people not to be upset. However, there seems to be a silver lining to the bad news when Soraya meets a sexy vampire working the case ...

Though she can’t do it alone and the one who comes to help wasn’t who most would think. Especially because it’s not a simple rescue. At. All. Months have passed when she returns home, and only her training with the FBI and going undercover saves her from too much ...

Great Story!
Love Erin Flynn's work, and Karma Bakery is a great paranormal reverse harem series. It is very slow burn, and there are trigger warnings for SA that the FMC experienced before the story begins. She does have flashbacks on page. Her trauma is very real and present, so it is not a light read, although a lot of the plot is on the sweeter side of Bakery life. The virtual voice is decent and overall does a good job. So much better than having Alexa read it or using the voice reader from Kindle, and I appreciate that the author made these books accessible to her readers.

Karma Bakery series is a fantastic world with new characters and challenges for Arabella Baker and her two twin daughters. While she deals with opening up a new business and moving to a new city she also has PTSD that she is dealing with. Run and download you very own copy and enjoy.

AI wasn’t too shabby, Karma is a good slow burn
I found that slowing down the voice to .85-.90 made the story better as I felt it was really fast and I felt like it needed more pauses. Other than that it was really decent and I am happy authors are having AI option as I know making audiobooks can be costly. I love this author and I am happy that there are audiobooks so that can be shared with individuals who maybe are unable to read. Karma is a good series though it is a slow burn. Check out other of Erin’s books as they are just as amazing if not more so!

2.5 stars rounded up
So this one was a difficult one for me to review, because I was first introduced to Erin Flynn with her Artemis University and Accidentally Wolf series and I absolutely LOVED them at the beginning. Truly truly loved them. But all of the issues I slowly started having with those books are truly full force in this one.
This book had soooo much potential, but it honestly just felt like a first draft.
There was essentially no plot for most of the book and things only started happening and potential plots developing in the last few chapters. Tbh it was mostly filled cake stuff. Like 80% of this book is just recipes, descriptions of fillings and baking tools and the hiring process. 10% of the book is basically just male-bashing, and I say this as a black ace woman in todays society, so trust me when I say the FMC (and essentially the author) was doing way too much. I am a very proud feminist and a champion of equality and diversity and just a more accepting, tolerant and kind society and AS a proud feminist I can say that there are some instances and comments in this book that made me feel mildly uncomfortable. The remaining 10% was plot, character and world building and that’s where the potential comes in! Excellent back story, lots to explore there with the FMC’s past as a goddess and her relationship with her godly family. I loved the relationship between her and the twins.
I found the FMC herself to be very unlikable to be honest. I know she’s been through a lot of awful, awful things and is dealing with understandable PTSD and trauma, but honestly I really didn’t like her. She was so annoying and preachy and judgemental (though she says she isn’t) and honestly a little closed-minded if you ask me. I wanted to care about her and root for her sooooo badly but honestly I just couldn’t. She pissed me off. I adored the twins though, even if their names are mildly ridiculous (Mary and Kary? And they willingly chose those?? Oh honey.)
Honestly writing this review I realise that given everything I’ve said you’re probably thinking that the rating should be lower, and you might be right, but honestly I’m loathe to give less than three stars to a novel unless I truly, truly despised it. This book did have its moments, and like I said there is lots of potential! I think it should probably go another few rounds of edits and could have done with some beta readers maybe,as well as ARC readers. But that’s just my opinion and I know that it takes a lot of really hard work and love to write a book and its very hard putting your work out there to get critiqued.

short and funny but a mechanical voice
This book was short and funny. A bit of light entertainment while my hands were busy. However, the virtual voice narrating it was pretty awful. The virtual voice was quite mechanical sounding, often seemed to portray the wrong emotion as it "read", and made it difficult to sometimes tell the different characters apart. I would be willing to spend $2 again for the audio as it is for more of the series but I wouldn't want to spend any more than that unless an actual person does the narration.
