~Reading Is My SuperPower
Cozy mysteries and recipes seem to go hand in hand. I love when they also end up being a cookbook too . . . There are loads of recipes that I have definitely earmarked to try once the holiday season of craziness has ended.
~A Chick Who Reads
There are so many delicious sounding recipes within the book that I can’t wait to give them a go! From appetizers to soups, to entrees and desserts there is bound to be something for everyone in this collection.
~eBook addicts
. . . credit goes to the clever structure of the book; the synopses and excerpts from each book also gave me a good scope of the entire series, and worked as a perfect teaser to whet my appetite. Without revealing too much, they certainly piqued my interest and made me want to pick up the series from the beginning.
