Synopsis

A bewitched prison. A brother with a deadly request. Can a magical baker launch a jailbreak and still keep her prince in the process?

Imogen’s magical bakery is thriving and she loves the company of the Water Kingdom’s dashing prince. But she’s not so enamored with the time she’s forced to spend with his awful Royal Family. She also can’t help but worry that the increased media scrutiny could reveal her secret contact with the Royal Family’s sworn enemy: her own brother.

When her sibling shows up and demands Imogen spring his cronies out of jail, she flat out refuses. But when he threatens to hurt the ones she loves the most, she balances her allegiance to the prince with her plan for a covert prison break. Can Imogen keep up family appearances and avoid betraying the kingdom or will her pie-in-the-sky scheme become a recipe for disaster?

Airships, Crypts & Chocolate Chips is the sixth standalone book in a clever paranormal cozy mystery series. If you like crafty witches, charming romances, and fabulous French settings, then you’ll love Erin Johnson’s enchanting adventure.

Review

The adventures of Imogen (and friends) continues in this installment and what a ride!  The book is filled with action, deception, danger, and even some love.

I love visiting the different kingdoms and can’t imagine what it would be like in each one. In this book, they visit the Air Kingdom and it is much like the name suggests, they are up in the air on clouds etc. If you have vertigo you don’t want to visit here often.

Imogen and Hank are officially a couple but the path to true love is never easy. Imogen has her secrets and wants to tell Hank about Horace and what happened in the Fire Kingdom (book #5) but also has a loyalty to a brother she has only come to know. I can’t imagine having to choose family over love. Of course, Hank’s father doesn’t make it very easy. He is tough and we find out how tough at the end of the book…but that is all I’m going to say there because it would spoil too much.

In book 5 we find out how Imogen and Horace became swallows and it wasn’t too big of a leap to realize how it affected Hank. I’m surprised no one put it together sooner.

We get to know some of Hank’s family members a bit better in this story and I really like his mom, the Queen, and his sister Emmaline. They are down to earth and relatable.

The story does end with a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

We give it 5 paws up!
