Continuing the series

 Bewitched, bothered and biscotti

by Bailey Cates


I have indeed gotten into this series, and I will be continuing. It doesn't hurt that the library has them all and they're not in great demand.  There's nothing to distinguish one from the other, so far, but they're good, solid entertainment. Not too scary, not at all deep or introspective, and only a little funny at times, but they keep moving, I don't want to put them down, and am always looking forward to picking them up.

The heroine is a hedgewitch, and a pretty powerful one. She has two love interests, a small dog she carries in her tote bag who seems to know more about this witchy stuff than anyone, and a restaurant/bakery to manage. If you're into baked goods, you'll be fascinated by all the descriptions of recipes and spices; I find that just a little tedious. If adding a pinch of cinnamon enhances one's love life; a pinch of basil promote wealth and a smidge of cardamom encourages well-being, why aren't they all queens of the world? It's absurd, but, fantasy, you know? Doesn't have to make sense, just be consistent.
