Current Reads: aka what I've been Binging on

 Yeah that December thing didn't work out as I'd hoped but no fear. I am still reading and still writing reviews on GR and IG (not every time for everything but still trying to keep relevant at least.) I try posting here but it's a bit of a pain because of the way BLOGGER is set up. I've actually been looking into possibly moving my site but who knows, I may just keep it here for now. We shall see...

Anyways, ONTO THE BOOKS!

Alright, so you know the drill. I love reading ARCS and these will not be too shocking for my reading time. As matter of fact, I started falling into Cozy Mysteries (still like the harder stuff )and am finding an enjoyment level on mystery/thriller aspect but on a more tamed level. Kind of like wanting a break from the hard spirits straight, so you mix it up with a nice cocktail or two.

Which brings me to this story. Now I'm not saying its a straight up murder type book but! hear me out, it has FAE and paranormal mayhem that intrigues me. 

You follow a witch, a pie witch actually, named Reese who just started up her own bakery called 'Pie-Jinks' and yes, pun intended. She is working to make a name for herself in her small town and starts to come into random and strange issues. People go missing. Even people she knows! What's a Pie Witch to do? Bake! (You'll get the joke if you read it. And you should. Cause it's fun.) 

The lovely Selina J. Eckert has even written a prequel called Pumpkin Pie Spice where the story actually shows everything that starts Reese's adventures. Actually, if you have a subscription to Scribd, they are on there right now. 

Here are the stories:

Here is my review for Cranberry Bog Crumble also hosted on Good Reads: (spoiler free!)

"Wow, this took me a little longer than I meant to but I'm glad I got to read it finally. Quick thanks to the author and Story Origin for allowing me to read this ARC and reviewing it with honesty. (I actually did end up reading it on Scribd as well because I wanted to read the book before this and the fun little prequel.)
First off - while the cover may elude you to think this book is just fun and campy with all the good vibes - it does but with some very fun layers of story you were not expecting. I was sucked in so fast and had to read it in one day because I NEEDED to know what was happening. The way the author writes is very nicely paced and easy to read without overcomplicating the plot. The mystery aspect is also highly addicting with the questions that keep flying at you. Very fun, very loveable characters. (The sprites are probably my top favs lol.)
Annd...no spoilers for but spoilers for me, I've already started the next book for this and recc anyone who loves a good mystery with a dash of fae involvement walloped with fun talk of sugary goodness (bakery level and love interests) would find enjoyment in these books. They did exactly what they were meant to do and I love it!"

My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So yes, I would highly recommend these if you haven't read and they sound right up your alley.
