Bailey Cates
Katie Lightfoot's tired of loafing around as the assistant manager of an Ohio bakery. So when her aunt Lucy and uncle Ben open a bakery in Savannah's quaint downtown district and ask Katie to join them, she enthusiastically agrees. While working at the Honeybee Bakery—named after Lucy's cat—Katie notices that her aunt is adding mysterious herbs to her recipes. Turns out these herbal enhancements aren't just tasty—Aunt Lucy is a witch and her recipes are actually spells! When a curmudgeonly customer is murdered outside the Honeybee Bakery, Uncle Ben becomes the prime suspect. With the help of handsome journalist Steve Dawes, charming firefighter Declan McCarthy, and a few spells, Katie and Aunt Lucy stir up some toil and trouble to clear Ben's name and find the real killer.

However, she gets more than she bargained for when a customer is murdered outside of the bakery before it even officially opens. When her uncle becomes the prime suspect, Katie sets out to prove his innocence and find the real culprit.
I liked this book. The premise was really interesting. I liked how the magical aspects were woven into the plot. It was just enough to supplement the story while not overpowering it. The mystery was interesting and kept me guessing. My least favorite aspect of the story was the emerging love triangle between Katie and her suitors. However, I am still going to try to locate and read the next book in the series.
