Charms and Chocolate Chips

Magical Bakery Mystery, Series # 3

De: Bailey Cates

Narrado por: Amy Rubinate

Between brewing magically spiced treats at Honeybee Bakery and volunteering with a local conservation group, Katie Lightfoot barely has time to see her firefighter boyfriend, Declan McCarthy, much less delve further into her destiny as a witch. But avoiding her fate won't be as easy as whipping up a new recipe-especially when Katie finds herself once again mixed up in murder.

When a fellow volunteer for the conservation group is found dead, Katie's mystical senses tell her that there's more to the death than meets the eye. Her suspicions are confirmed when members of her coven are targeted next. Katie will have to embrace her powers quickly...or she may find herself chewed up and spit out by some serious black magic.

easy listening

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

This book is easy to listen. No meat. Sometimes you just need a break from the hard stuff, this one works well for that.

What about Amy Rubinate’s performance did you like?

Reads well.

You don't have to listen to series in order

Where does Charms and Chocolate Chips rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was cute

What other book might you compare Charms and Chocolate Chips to and why?

I enjoy the holiday titles that are a collaboration between Mary Higgins Clark and her daughter Carol Higgins Clark, they have mystery, humor and a small bit of romance. Perfect combination. This series is very similar to those.

Any additional comments?

I will go back and listen to the rest of the titles in this series. I started here with #3 and I don't feel like I missed anything important by not starting with the first.

Still enjoying this series

Bailey Cates has a wonderful way of keeping me guessing wrong about who did it. Something most authors fail to do. As always, Amy Rubinate does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life with their own voices. I highly recommend this book and entire series. I also suggest you start with the first in the series, Briwnies and Broomsticks.

unsure at first, but now I'm hooked

Any additional comments?

I bought the first book and thought it was ok, but the narrator was difficult to listen to. Then along came Amy R, one of my favorite readers, and transformed it for me. I knew the first book was good, but I doubted that I'd go any further with the series if they didn't use another narrator. Now I'm anxiously awaiting the next one to come out in the series. Please keep these characters coming Ms. Cates!

Charming

These series of books have completely charmed me. The familial feeling relationships between the book club members make me wish for the Honey Bee to be in my town.

Awesome

Story line picked up from last chapter. Loved how Kateys mom came into the picture. You get an Insight on Katey's childhood.

Good read

This has been a good series so far. Casual but keeps your interest. On to book 4

no excitement

the narrator who was boring, she had no excitement in her voice falsely representing the heorine.

Cozy, witchy mystery novel.

If you enjoyed the previous two books in this series, you'll be guaranteed to like this one as well. Same recipe and the same result.

Great cozy mysteries

Great stories. Lovable characters. It's annoying that we don't get the recipes on audible but still well worth it. I ADORE Amy Rubinate as well, she has a great voice that I love listening to and does well differentiating between characters, I'm not sure why people are being so terrible about her narration.
