Publisher's summary

Owning the Charmed Pie Shoppe and serving enchanted treats in the magical town of Havenwood, Georgia, seemed like a little slice of heaven for Ella Mae LeFaye. But now her hopes for both a lasting romance with Hugh Dylan and business success are starting to seem like pie in the sky, and Ella's left wondering: Where has the magic gone?

When an enchanted grove is set ablaze, Ella realizes that she has more grave problems. With her magic waning, she's going to have to sleuth from scratch to stop an arsonist who has no respect for sacred ground - or human life.

A fun series that keeps getting better.

I started the series because I love ALL things narrated by CSE Cooney. She is a powerhouse narrator.

However, I have found myself drawn in by all the characters. they continue to grow and change and I love the world I find myself in when I listen to these.

once again didn't see it comin

i absolutely love the narrative. THe author just keeps throwing in surprises. an excellent listen when stuck in traffic or long drives.. already downloading book 4.

Pecan Pies, so sweet and fullfilling.

love this series the narrator is so good at portraying the characters in the story and the story is compelling and makes you want to know what the next book will uncover.

This book flew by!

For some reason this book in the series went by faster than the others. At one point I was really disappointed in the main character. It seemed like she was acting really stupid by rushing into something without enough preparation. However, it all worked out and was actually very exciting. Usually I read books that are more complex and I spend the entire book trying to keep the characters and locations straight. However, these books are relaxing, down to earth, easy to read and exciting. Exactly what I need with my crazy schedule and life!

good series

Ellery Adams is good at the cozy mysteries. I truly enjoy this series and this book was the best so far. The narrator is good also, which makes me happy.

Very entertaing and a good read.

This book and series has a good storyline. It was very entertaining and enjoyable. The narrator infuses the characters with life and conveys the writer's words into a magical listening experience. I love the food + mystery genre and would recommend this book along with any series by Ellery Adams.

Total flop

I'm sorry but how many mythical "enchanted" people live in this one small town? Absolutely everyone is part of one competing group or another. This series has the opportunity to be not so terrible, but by book 3 there are no non-magical humans left, which would make it interesting to see how the two (enchanted and non enchanted) would work together. Instead, everyone who seems normal turns out to either be a witch or an "elemental" or a shadow child or any number of other fantasy characters. Every time another towns folk turns out to be some new different random mythical creature I find myself going, "oh of COURSE they are.." It's not even enjoyable, it's like the author at this point is making stuff up. The actual mystery is overshadowed by all this nonsense. Don't waste your credit unless you like the cheesy fantasy genre
