A bakehouse in the making. A dangerous ghost in the tower. Will their welcome to the neighborhood be short-lived?

Imogen wants nothing more than to complete her sweet dream. With her adoring fiancé Hank at her side, the witch and her friends dive into renovations for their new home and soon-to-be bakery. But all their efforts seem futile when they wake to find the house eerily ripped apart all over again…

As Imogen examines her humble abode’s shady history, she discovers evidence for a malevolent spirit living inside. But with less-than-welcoming neighbors keeping a close, suspicious watch, she wonders if it’s not the dead but the living who pose the biggest threat…

Will Imogen root out the culprit, or will her culinary future collapse under the weight of an unsolved murder?

Review

This is such a fun series that I was thrilled to be able to read the newest installment.  Imogen is a refreshing character and a bit crazy too.  I love how she injects the human world into her situations and interactions with those from the magical realm.  I noticed in this book there seemed to be more movie references.which was amusing and had me trying to guess the movie from the clues and lines.  I don’t think I guessed many of them!

Imogen, Hank, and the gang have been given a home that is haunted but they don’t know that until they start working on the home to repair it and bring it up to snuff for their new bakery and school.  Imagine their surprise when the house seems to implode on itself and undoes all of their hard work.  This sets them off on their latest adventure to determine who is trying to keep them out of the house and why.  The answer might surprise you.

I enjoy how the author finds a love interest for most of the characters.  It is fun to watch these new romances develop.  There is humor in the story and Iggy has the worst (or best!) timing when making his comments.  Iggy certainly doesn’t know how to curb his tongue and almost gets the gang in trouble with his comments.  But it is all in a days work for Imogen, Hank, and the gang.  We do see a little bit more of Horace and I’m wondering if perhaps he will be around more for Imogen (since he is her brother) and knowing that the Kingdom he fought to bring down might welcome him now that things have changed.

Overall I really enjoy this series and I do suggest starting at the beginning to follow the personal relationships of the various characters.

We give it 5 paws up!
