What readers say
Bailey Cates is best known for the Magical Bakery Mysteries, about a baker in Savannah who discovers she is a hedge witch. Readers enjoy the charming Southern setting, mouthwatering baked goods with recipes at the back, gentle herbal magic, a lively coven of supporting characters and a lovable dog, and many call the books light, fun comfort reads. Common criticisms are slow, detail-heavy openings, mysteries that are easy to guess or solved too easily, a love triangle some find juvenile, a heroine who can seem naive, and less magic than some readers want.
Best for: Readers who want light paranormal cozies with baking, witchy charm and a Southern setting.
