Seashells, Spells and Caramels
Seashells, Spells and Caramels: A Cozy Witch Mystery | Erin Johnson
17 posts | 11 read | 19 to read
Imogen's spent her twenties in Seattle, saving every penny and missing every party, to follow her dream of opening her own bakery.When that dream goes up in flames, she accepts a spot in a mysterious baking contest-one she doesn't remember entering. She travels to a bustling, medieval village off the coast of France and discovers an enchanting world of magic and mystery, and learns that she, too, possesses powers.Unable to so much as cast a spell, Imogen struggles to keep up with the other witches and wizards who have come from all over the magical world to the Water Kingdom's big competition. She juggles relationships with a sweet new friend, a snarky baking fire, and a brooding, handsome baker. As Imogen falls for this bewitching world, she fears she won't master her magic in time to win the job of Royal Head Baker, and will be forced to return to the shambles of her non magical life.It only gets worse, when a competitor drops dead in the middle of the big white baking tent, and Imogen's the prime suspect. Now, she'll not only have to survive the vampire and psychic judges, but also clear her name by finding the real murderer, before they strike again.With a killer on the loose, a missing prince, and the Summer Solstice Festival fast approaching, Imogen will have to bake like her life depends on it- because it just might.

This was a quick and fun read. I guessed one of the plot twists, but not the others. I like it enough to go on to the second book in the series. A sweet cozy mystery. 🧁✨

Imogen dreams of opening a bakery, has almost just enough money for a storefront, and then accidently burns down her apartment. She loses everything but receives entry to a magical baking competition she didn't think she managed to enter. Traveling to the village, she discovers magic is real. When a fellow competitor ends up dead, she is the prime suspect. Now she must continue trying to compete with more seasoned magicals, and clear her name.👇🏻

@Avanders this was a #cbbc box extraordinaire ❤️❤️❤️thank you so much for all the fun things you filled it with including extra books and a gorgeous journal! And snacks I‘m so excited about! Sending you a huge hug across the mikes!

Avanders Yay you‘re so welcome!! I… think I forgot to include the card explaining the books? I mean, I think 2 are self-explanatory 😁, but Ruby was this…. weird book I read recently that I thought you might like.. it‘s intriguing and dark :) And I sent Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie — don‘t know if you‘ve read that one? People have been recommending it to me for yearrrrs and I finally read it and *loved* it. Hope you do too! ♥️♥️ 2y

First in the Spells and Carmels Series. Loved this quick cozy mystery. Perfect month to read it. Loved Iggy. Won this from Goodreads awhile back, glad to get it off my TBR list.

Can I give this a pick-ish? Finished it while not sleeping between 2-4a 🤦‍♀️ It‘s a fun concept but predictable. I also find the actual writing itself to be very young? Lacking nuance? There‘s just something missing there for me- it doesn‘t feel well fleshed out, more like a beginner project.

Avanders Well, at least it‘s easy fluff .. perfect for those sleepless nights 🥱🥱🥱 (I haven‘t read it myself, yet...) 3y

Started this one at 3am the other day when I couldn‘t sleep. Fun fact- I set our kitchen cabinets on fire from an unattended candle years ago so the only place I can use them now is the bathroom 😂Taking a long soak with a book and this awesome smelling candle to alleviate all the pregnancy back and hip pain before I start my day! Working from home bc of the pandemic has a few advantages :)

Avanders That‘s right!! I forgot about the candles! 🤭 I‘m glad you have 1 place you can burn them 😁 And I‘m so glad you like the smell of that one!! 🖤🧡🖤 3y
BethM @Avanders it‘s awesome! And I adore Halloweentown 😂 I have about 6 candles I keep specifically for the bathroom lol! 3y
Avanders It‘s the perfect place for them 😁😁🕯🛁 3y
