Mona comes to work at her aunt’s bakery one morning and finds a dead body on the floor. She quickly finds out that there’s a killer on the loose in the city. A killer targeting wizards. Unfortunately, she’s a wizard too. Her magic power? Making gingerbread men dance.


This was a lot better than it had any right to be. The writing will suck you into the story and the characters will keep you there. The setting is cute and the plot doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s fast and quite straightforward, yet flawlessly executed.


Overall, a cute fun well-written little story with characters that will make you smile.

Rosh "This was a lot better than it had any right to be." - Haha, I don't know what to say to this. It's a compliment and an insult at once. :D Still, it sounds fun. Glad you liked it better than you thought, Thibault. Nice review! :)

Hahaha. I just did not expect it to be this good based on the premise and blurb. That's definitely a compliment to the author though. Thanks, Rosh :)

Esta T Kingfisher, she's great isn't she? I liked Nettle & Bone, and have an arc coming up from her called A Sorceress Comes to Call which early reviews are touting as good! Enjoyed your review and happy to know that you liked this Thibault! 👩‍🍳🍞
