From the New York Times bestselling author of Some Enchanted Éclair comes a tale of delicious desserts and supernatural sleuthing… For magical baker Katie Lightfoot, the only way to beat the Savannah summer heat is to whip up some cool treats for the Honeybee Bakery’s patrons. But when a meeting of the spellbook club is interrupted by a stranger collapsing on the floor of her shop, mumbling something about a voodoo talisman, Katie drops everything to begin investigating. Her search for answers quickly leads her into a dangerous blend of Savannah’s infamous voodoo queens, a powerful missing charm—and a deadly witch who seems to be targeting the city’s magical community. And with the case getting hotter by the second, Katie will have to work fast to track down the talisman and the killer before the timer runs out… RECIPES INCLUDED

I absolutely love this series, and this installment does not disappoint! It's really fun to learn about the different sides of voodoo with Katie, and she shares more of her baking and general witchy knowledge throughout the book, too. The plot itself is suspenseful but [mild spoiler!!] I was a tiny bit unimpressed with the villain's motive. It did make sense, but I think I had expected the cult angle to be more important. The build-up had so much danger that the end felt a little anti-climatic. Maybe I just got too carried away in all the dramatic possibilities. :)
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book, even to someone who hasn't read the previous ones (although those are totally worth reading too!).
