Spellbound Sweets

A Samantha Sweet Mystery Novella

It's Halloween, one of the busiest seasons of the year for Samantha Sweet and the crew at her pastry shop, Sweet's Sweets. After baking a zillion pumpkin cookies, ghostly cupcakes, and an all-black cake for a young witch's wedding, the gang is looking forward to a gala costume party at the neighborhood bookshop. But when one of the guests is murdered and a rare book vanishes—practically in front of their eyes—the evening takes a whole different turn and Sam finds herself in the midst of another mystery.

This is an absolutely wonderful cast of characters.

I love this series. It took me a month to finish this short story because of my busy life. Why? I wanted to savor the words…not speed read to just say I completed the book. It was worth my time and full attention.

The characters in this book are people I love to revisit every year. I recommend reading the series in order. Enjoy!
