What readers say
Readers enjoy these Savannah-set cozies for the baking, the gentle witchcraft worldbuilding and a likeable heroine who grows into her powers, and several say the series gets better as the setting and characters deepen. The criticisms are that the books are light, quick reads without much depth in characters or plotting, that the middle of some installments drags, and that the heroine's attitude occasionally grates.
Best for: Readers who want magical, bakery-flavored cozies that are light and easy to read.
