FLOUR POWER
When Hollywood invades Savannah’s historic district to film a Revolutionary War movie, magical baker Katie Lightfoot, and her witches’ coven, the Spellbook Club, take a break from casting spells for casting calls. One of the witches snags a part as an extra, while Katie’s firefighter boyfriend, Declan, acts as on-set security. Katie and her aunt Lucy decide to stay out of the action, but after the movie’s “fixer” fires the caterer, the Honeybee Bakery comes to the rescue, working their magic to keep the hungry crew happy.
But when someone fixes the fixer—permanently—and a spooky psychic predicts Katie will find the killer, the charming baker and her fellow conjurers step in to sift through the suspects…before someone else winds up on the cutting room floor…

Oh what an enchanting treat this book really was!!
Katie Lightfoot is a magical baker, who is also a part of a witches' coven called the Spellbook Club. They live in a Savannah's historical district and Katie happens to own the best bakery in town. So when Hollywood comes to town, Katie is asked to prepare lunch for the the actors and crew. Little did Katie expect was to stumble into another murder, and surely not one where one of her bakeries very own knifes was used.
Oh I adored this book. It really was cozy. I liked the mystery twisted with a bit of magic, and I love how the paranormal was done it this. Light without being over the top. Really felt almost kind of believable. Add warm batch of characters to it and delicious baked goods, and you got yourself a lighthearted adventure worth getting lost in.
Katie is also a lightwitch and is drawn to murder scenes, something that her boyfriend Declan is a bit worried about - until he of course finds out his own little family trait he wasn't aware of. Now as Katie tries to find who is behind the murder, she also struggles with finding out how to sort of distance herself away from this trouble. Unsure why of all people, she was picked to solve these murders. Magic, mystery, seance and ghosts kept the book entertaining and unbelievably hard to put down.
I really enjoyed the characters of Savannah and Katie's batch of friends. I did have a hard time with the Hollywood star Althea who for some random reason just randomly decided not to like Katie and cause her and her shop a bit of trouble along the way.
Overall a really fun read, well written, well put together, with characters that stay with you long after. Including Mungo :) Katie's dog familiar.
