°° Many thanks to the author, Claire Luana, for this wonderful opportunity to review her book and also Audiobox for featuring this amazing book. °°

I am half tempted to add in baking phrases and food adjectives in my review after listening to this. But, Flame it, I'll hold back a bit.

-what I liked-
Firstly enjoyed the confection background of the story how every day things like food, clothes etccan have greater purpose to serve than just being used for survival.

I loved the mystery aspect of the story and how the story managed to keep up the intrigue by introducing new suspects and at the same time hurtling new obstacles in Wrens path. It made me wonder will our MC with limited knowledge and power be able to get out of this web of conspiracy.

The characters and their characterizations made this book a whole more worthwhile, Wren with her suspicious instinct with her yearning for love and belonging slipping through, and her friends open minded, supportive and head strong.
No one is as they seem, sweet may turn bitter and vice versa and her worst adversary may not be that at all...they were deeply layered personality with surprises.

I appreciated how after some of Wren's trust backfired she didn't go back in blindly forgiving everything, but was wary and accepting as she should.

_the meh bit_
I found the relationship with Lucas, progressing too fast and was rushed or maybe it was intended to make it see her feelings were because he was her knight in shining Armour?
To me, one bit of the clues made it very obvious who it was the motive too, nevertheless I still like how it resolved at the end and... It wasnt a straight cut one mind you!

I honestly loved this book! It had all the elements I need to keep me hooked: action, magic, murder, mystery, romance, refreshingly unique plot, amazing world building! Let's not forget that the characters are easily relatable, as well as being perfectly flawed and nuanced in layers. The narrator was also perfect for this book--in character voices, etc. I am definitely continuing on with this series! Highly recommend.

Awesomely Good!

This was such a great book! I enjoyed the twist of adding magic baking and the mystery involved in the story. I can’t wait for book two and to see where the story goes from here. I was invested in the story from the start and thought the narrator did a great job.

I need book two now!

my first audio from Luana and it's been an amazing ride! could barely stop listening! it did start out with a lottttt of cupcakes, enough to notice that I was wondering...but it explained itself quickly and from that it became more a mystery with slight signs of some romance. you feel for Wren and fall in love with the characters. I do wish for more details on the worldbuilding. the end is twisty and not what you think! great narrative, recommend this for everyone!! thanks lady Luana ♥️ (good thing I already have the rest of the series in my Kindle 😆)

lovely, exciting
