Frosting and Fairies

Sugar Shack Witch Mysteries, Book 7

De: Danielle Garrett

Narrado por: Amanda Ronconi

A romance book festival comes to Winterspell, but not everyone is feeling the love.

Small-town journalism isn't exactly a thrill ride. Between PTA meetings and bake sale bulletins, I was drowning in monotony. But when I begged my editor for a juicier assignment, I should've been careful what I wished for.

Enter the Summer Lovin' Book Festival. BOGO deals on paperbacks with a side of beefcake, as five hunky models vie to become the next Captain Riker Bones, the shirtless swashbuckler adorning Grandma Rose's favorite bodice-rippers.

Sure, a little eye candy never hurt anyone, but ten minutes of watching grown women cry over washboard abs has me wishing I'd volunteered to write up the waste management ordinances instead.

But when one of our would-be pirates turns up dead in his hotel room, my puff piece transforms into a full-blown murder mystery. And the plot thickens faster than my family's famous buttercream when a poison-laced cupcake from Sugar Shack is found at the scene.

Now I'm racing against time to catch a killer, clear my family's name, and keep Grandma Rose from sailing into the sunset with one of the wannabe pirates. Someone pass the rum.

Pirate and nature

We follow the main characters in this story as they try to solve a swashbuckling mystery. What happens at a pirate book convention? We follow the main character as she tries to solve the mystery of a Murder. We see crossovers with other characters by this author living in the same town which is nice. We get to learn more about the hidden Stones somewhere around the town. We learn about why not to isolate ourselves and to ask for something in our lives. The author really did a nice job on that subject. I listened to this with a tweet and she got a lot out of it. She is upset because I guessed right on who the killer was from the start. I'm sure anybody that reads it will get a lot out of it as well.

Always love her work.

I love how the story builds, the villains are never one I see coming, and the characters are well developer.

Love the characters

Excellent story and narration!! Looking forward to more!! I like Rosella and her ability to talk to animals.

Great Listen

I overall like this series, it's one of my favorites of Danielle's. I feel like the main plot really took a back seat and then a jump, but overall recommend.

Absolutely Fantastic

I love Danielle's writings! Can't wait for her next book! All of this series is absolutely fantastic!

Back in Winterspell

There is never a dull moment in Winterspell. What starts out as an innocent romance-cover-model pirate show ends in a suspicious death and it will take Rosella and Orion putting the pieces together to solve the murder. I love revisiting this magical town and seeing some of its familiar residents and it’s always a treat to run into Cora and her familiar Selene:)

More please!

I love all of Ms. Garrett's books... especially the Winterspell series, and of course all Beachwood Harbor. This series ends on quite the cliffhanger, so hopefully we have a new book soon! As always, Amanda Ronconi brought everything to life flawlessly. My only complaint, is I wish the animal characters were more involved in the series/ developed more, as the main character has a gift of speaking with them. All and all though, it's a great series and getting better w/ each read.
