Story
It was a rough beginning for Karma Bakery with the out-of-control sample days and interviews that went way past fluff pieces. But Arabella Baker and her two daughters, Kary and Mary, have the needed security in place and have hired the right people to fit into the new family they’re building. They even made some outside friends of the paranormal variety, and that’s not something they’re used to. Now that the store is ready and people are interested, the Karma Bakery is ready for opening day… Mostly. There’s more chaos than they could ever have predicted, and since they’re on the...

Story
After surviving Halloween, Arabella Baker is determined to do things better while achieving what she planned with her daughters in moving to Boston. The fates seem to help her a bit, and the stars align along with putting together some helpful suggestions, and she manages a way to expand. However, nothing is ever easy, even for a goddess, and she hasn’t heard the end of the underhanded offers for her recipes. With how popular the bakery is in its first month and the attention they’re getting, the stakes are higher than she expected. It also means more shops opening in the park, and that...

Story
Being one of the most powerful enchanters ever and a woman doesn’t always have too many people giving Soraya Devil much credit… Even if most don’t have the balls to admit that to her face. That’s fine. She knows how to play the games and normally better than the people who start them. Her coven of those tossed from the enchanter community always has a list of enemies, but when there’s a ghoul on the loose in Indianapolis, that’s way too close for people not to be upset. However, there seems to be a silver lining to the bad news when Soraya meets a sexy vampire working the case ...

Story
Soraya Devil is the Enchantress, one of the most powerful magics in the world… But she’s so much more than that, and everyone’s constantly attempting to unravel her past and secrets. She’s not worried though, as many have tried and never find out the truth. It’s safer for everyone that way. The owner of Paranormal Investigations—among other companies—she has her own answers to find. Though she’s continuously pulled in too many directions, she always answers the calls that make even her magic tingle in warning at the danger. When a sprite begins killing people in Chicago, she...

Spring is here and now that the “elite” warlock elders are handled, Arabella has one less thing on her plate… While tons more are added. That’s the life of any successful business owner, but being a goddess makes things slightly more complicated. Slightly. But she has a new house, with hope that her broken heart could heal and all the growth with the bakery could be worth the headaches. Plus, more expanding to increase her power and give more people jobs and security—better lives. In a surprising turn of events, she stumbles upon more secrets, but this time they might not be ones ...

Arabella Baker, her daughters, and the Karma Bakery rocked Christmas. Now she can put more into place instead of constantly running to make all the orders for the holidays. Until Valentine’s Day at least. All bets are off then. She’s also excited to work on her personal relationships. She feels like she’s surrounded herself with friends rather than people who worship her or even just employees. People who really value her, and then there’s the men who want to be with her. Even with a hiccup, she feels like she can handle progressing her relationships. It’s a good place to be. So ...

It’s a new year, and as much as Arabella Baker wishes that meant a new her, even a goddess can’t make that happen. Her past and family have found her, and while she’s thrilled she’s reconnected with two of her brothers, Zeus and Hera won’t leave things alone. But that actually takes a back seat to the heartbreak she’s suffered. She would never have thought the man she’d been falling for was lying to her and a complete fraud. All she wants to do is help people and bring some good to the world. It’s all Arabella has ever wanted to do, but if the cost is so high to her, maybe ...

This book had soooo much potential, but it honestly just felt like a first draft.
There was essentially no plot for most of the book and things only started happening and potential plots developing in the last few chapters. Tbh it was mostly filled cake stuff. Like 80% of this book is just recipes, descriptions of fillings and baking tools and the hiring process. 10% of the book is basically just male-bashing, and I say this as a black ace woman in todays society, so trust me when I say the FMC (and essentially the author) was doing way too much. I am a very proud feminist and a champion of equality and diversity and just a more accepting, tolerant and kind society and AS a proud feminist I can say that there are some instances and comments in this book that made me feel mildly uncomfortable. The remaining 10% was plot, character and world building and that’s where the potential comes in! Excellent back story, lots to explore there with the FMC’s past as a goddess and her relationship with her godly family. I loved the relationship between her and the twins.
I found the FMC herself to be very unlikable to be honest. I know she’s been through a lot of awful, awful things and is dealing with understandable PTSD and trauma, but honestly I really didn’t like her. She was so annoying and preachy and judgemental (though she says she isn’t) and honestly a little closed-minded if you ask me. I wanted to care about her and root for her sooooo badly but honestly I just couldn’t. She pissed me off. I adored the twins though, even if their names are mildly ridiculous (Mary and Kary? And they willingly chose those?? Oh honey.)
Honestly writing this review I realise that given everything I’ve said you’re probably thinking that the rating should be lower, and you might be right, but honestly I’m loathe to give less than three stars to a novel unless I truly, truly despised it. This book did have its moments, and like I said there is lots of potential! I think it should probably go another few rounds of edits and could have done with some beta readers maybe,as well as ARC readers. But that’s just my opinion and I know that it takes a lot of really hard work and love to write a book and its very hard putting your work out there to get critiqued.
