OMG Cupcakes!

I'm not going to lie, the cover was what attracted me first to this book. Then I quickly realized it was all about cupcakes, magic and mystery. I was all in.

This was such a great listen. Kelsey Navarro is one of female narrators that I like listening to. She gave Wren's adventure life!
The story was full of well, cupcakes and the twists and turns and kept me guessing. The characters were great too. It's my first Luana book but now I want the second book as well.

Magic & Murder!!

The Confectioner's Guild by Claire Luana!

Magic and a murder mystery, what's not to love?? I was grabbed by this story right from the beginning and was kept guessing till the end! Really wonderful characters and a great magical world! I really enjoyed this story!

Unique and Intriguing World

I loved the idea of the Confectioner’s Guild. It was such a unique idea to me that I was completely submerged in the story. The narrator had a lovely voice. She was very easy to listen to and made it simple to follow along with the story.

Confection!

Wow! Loved this story! What would it be like to be accused of murder! Twist and turns,will the truth come out before it's too late! Narrator makes the story come alive!

Loved it!!

Pleasantly surprised at how well the concept of cupcakes worked with this book!! I knew knowing the author this would be a good book but I wasn’t sure how the baking or even cupcakes would come to play and I must say that I absolutely enjoyed the story. It has fabulous world building that I thoroughly enjoyed and the main character, Wren. Gosh, I just love her!!
There is a bit of everything on this book. A hint of romance, Magic, baking, murder, and mystery. Loved it!!

I listened to the audiobook and I highly recommend. The narrator Kelsey Navarro truly brought the story alive for me.

Loved this book!!

I really enjoyed this book!!

The Characters were quirky, fun, scary and quite interesting!!

This book kept me guessing until the end!!!

Bring on book 2!!

lovely, exciting

my first audio from Luana and it's been an amazing ride! could barely stop listening! it did start out with a lottttt of cupcakes, enough to notice that I was wondering...but it explained itself quickly and from that it became more a mystery with slight signs of some romance. you feel for Wren and fall in love with the characters. I do wish for more details on the worldbuilding. the end is twisty and not what you think! great narrative, recommend this for everyone!! thanks lady Luana ♥️ (good thing I already have the rest of the series in my Kindle 😆)

Awesomely Good!

I honestly loved this book! It had all the elements I need to keep me hooked: action, magic, murder, mystery, romance, refreshingly unique plot, amazing world building! Let's not forget that the characters are easily relatable, as well as being perfectly flawed and nuanced in layers. The narrator was also perfect for this book--in character voices, etc. I am definitely continuing on with this series! Highly recommend.

Loved this so much!

Mystery, intrigue, murder and desserts! I mean, really, what more do you need? This was a delightful story, and all my personal guesses on whodunnit were wrong! (I’m no Sherlock though so maybe that doesn’t mean much). I loved all the characters and the world that Luana creates for them to inhabit. The political intrigue was fabulous, and a murder mystery is always captivating.

Narration was great, definitely worth your audible credits. I’ll be looking for the next book for sure.

Great book

Wonderful story that introduces us to a world that promises to be complex and beautifully written about. It draws you in and keeps you interested until the very end. The narrator really brings the story to life.

Great storyline

I Enjoyed this audio book very much
Hopefully they will be more audio books
Must read on your list

Great book just enough Steam Punkyness

Loved the book one of the best book I have heard for a goodly while.

loved the twists and turns

was worried it would have a lot of description of cakes but it wasnt too bad.

loved the characters and the twists and turns of the story.

a decent length book for Audible, nicely read. A stand alone book but a further book about her life is quite possible.

I will definitely check out more of her writings.

Don’t listen to if your hungry!

I enjoyed this very much! Love the world that has been created and will carry on with the series! :)
