DNF at 106 pages but honestly should have been sooner. 😳 This will be in an upcoming cozy mystery vlog on my YT channel with my spoiler thoughts and reason for DNFing.
3 stars for me. The mysery was good and so was the narration but the character of Wavonne made it not quite as enjoyable. IMO there was nothing to like about her. And because Halia let her get away with so much I had no sympathy for Halia and what she had to put up with. Not sure I will continue the series unless there is proof that Wavonne grows up.
Cozy mysteries are my jam. This one was fun by a "new to me" author. Love the recipes throughout. I listened to the audio version and enjoyed the narrator.
Overall, I enjoyed the book.... I didn't enjoy Mahalia. Her personality was very critical of everyone except her grandmother... wish she was more joyful.
Cute story and great recipes. I am having a love hate relationship with Wavonne. We shall see if she grows up any in the second book or later in the series. God's, I hope so.
Kudos for Michelle Williams’ narration of the book especially Wavonne!
Overall, enjoyed the book. However, there are a few things that didn’t quite make sense but I liked the characters, the setting, the mystery and the recipes.
The distinctly different personalities and backgrounds of Halia and Wavonne was very well done. Halia and Wavonne must remember that momma/auntie Celia knows what’s what.
