Bleu Pops & Razzlebaums
A Soda Shop Series & Coven Cozy Mysteries Novella
by: Stephanie Ayers
What to expect:
∞ Witches
∞ Secret Pop Recipe
∞ Demon Blood
∞ Ghost whisperer
∞ A Special Friendship
♥*♡∞:｡.｡REVIEW♥*♡∞:｡.｡
Carmen and Hester have opened their own shops in the museum in New York. They both are on the spot to perform, but Carmen has other worldly problems stopping her from succeeding. She used a secret ingredient that leads to ghostly visitors to haunt her shop and eventually shut it down. Hester comes to her rescue and lets her use a corner of her diner to hold up shop for awhile. They work together to find out who is after Carmen and why the ghosts are attacking her shop specifically.
Stephanie has a career with her horror stories but shows her creative genius with crossing over into the paranormal cozy mystery genre. She has strength with words by forming a book that is so easy to follow you never even realize you reached the ending until you turn the last page. This is the first book in her coven cozy series and I am looking forward to reading more in this series from her.
Hester and Carmen are very lovable characters and they make you fall in love with them from page one. Out of 5 stars I would give this book 5 stars hands down. The only issue I had with this book was that it was a quick read and I was craving another story featuring the two witches, Hester and Carmen.
5/5 stars

♥*♡∞:｡.｡REVIEW♥*♡∞:｡.｡
Hester and Carmen are blowing things up with Bleu Pops & Razzlebaums working together in one restaurant. But their boss, Blair, wants to expand the exhibits in the art gallery. There is a special spot that could become a beautiful garden, but eerie things have been happening.
Hester and Carmen find out that the butterflies that protect the garden are under a curse. The curse is on the queen of the Faeries and the only way to free the land of it is to free Gertie. They go on a journey using their witch talents to free her to create one of the most beautiful butterfly exhibits ever seen at the gallery.

She has a way with words and keeps it simple, which makes her book an easy read for those readers that don’t want to be overwhelmed by over stimulating words. Highly recommend this book to those cozy mystery lovers that enjoy a little paranormal fun thrown in. If I had to rate this book, it would be 5 out of 5 stars.

Jamaican Me Crazy
A Coffee Shop Series and Coven Cozy Mysteries Novella
What to expect:
∞ Ghosts
∞ Romantic Honeymoon
∞ Witches
∞ Flustered New Husband
∞ Voodoo Magic
♥*♡∞:｡.｡REVIEW♥*♡∞:｡.｡
Carmen Bleu just got married to a man that knows about her ability to talk to ghosts. Actually, that is how they met. But now they are in Jamaica on their honeymoon and he wants nothing to do with ghosts. Too bad Carmen finds ghosts haunting her path even when she doesn’t want to. A mysterious singer from its past haunts a coffee shop, and the only one that can stop it from shutting the place down is Carmen. The question is how far will she go to solve the problem and keep her husband in the dark while doing it?
Stephanie Ayers spins a tale about a budding marriage hitting its first hurtle in life. The husband just didn’t think Carmen would put his feeling on the back burner. She threatens the ties of their relationship so tight you can’t help but wonder if the strings will break before they find a true happily ever after.
The journey Carmen goes on is a solo in this book and she finds her strength standing alone without her cousin beautifully. You can’t help but love Carmen’s ability to get into trouble and hope she makes it out unscathed. I turned the page, wondering what would happen next. Couldn’t put it down if I tried. Definitely a strong candidate for a re-read in the future.
Out of 5 stars, I would rate this book a 5/5. Highly loved everything in this book. The only thing missing was Hester. Highly recommend to coffee addicts that love a little crazy music with their drink.
5/5 stars

Rustic and Roasted
A Sandwich Shop Series and a Coven Cozy Mysteries Novella
What to expect:
∞ Secrets
∞ Romantic Connection
∞ Witches
∞ Vengeful Ghost
∞ Pumpkin Recipe
♥*♡∞:｡.｡REVIEW♥*♡∞:｡.｡
Carmen got the last book by herself. It is only fair Hester gets her own. Yes, Carmen is not in this book, or is she? Because Hester is going on a food adventure that takes her to her cousin’s neck of the woods. Along the way, she meets a man that could become romantically involved if it wasn’t for the secrets he keeps. Hester finds he has a problem at his comedy club that doubles as a sandwich shop. He just doesn’t believe that a ghost is involved. Hester has to hide her gifts and solve the problem until a little help from Carmen comes her way.
Stephanie does a fantastic job building suspense in this book. While Hester works to solve a problem while keeping her secret of being a witch from everyone. She is in enemy territory with budding feelings. She is fighting for a man she doesn’t really know. The struggle unfolds on the pages and evokes a heartfelt response as you watch it. The ending will leave you sad but feeling happy for the cousins.
I would say each book keeps this series going strong and they never disappoint. Highly recommend this one to those that love food. A food festival is at the heart of this story and Stephanie really shows Hester’s chef's side. If I had to give this book rating out of five stars, it would be 5/5.

Horny Confections
A Cupcake Shop and Coven Cozy Mysteries Novella
What to expect:
∞ Cupcake Shop
∞ Poisoned Food
∞ A Mystery Not Paranormal
∞ Snake in the Mix
∞ Boss Near Death Experience
♥*♡∞:｡.｡REVIEW♥*♡∞:｡.｡
Blair Cromartie opened a new cupcake shop in her art gallery. Everything is going swiftly until Carmen falls ill, along with a few customers from a poisoned cupcake. The food inspector is sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong and Hester is worried it will affect her restaurant. Carmen gets well, but more horror unfolds and a near death experience leaves them all reeling.
Stephanie spins a story that leaves you looking at a specific character because it has to be them. But turns out there is more to the story than meets the eye. Stephanie keeps you turning the page as people take ill and try to save the art gallery. But when one of them nearly dies, things hit the fan so you wouldn’t expect. She spins the tale so fluidly you don’t even realize you are turning the page. An easy read on its own and the cousins keep you rooting for them until the end.
Out of five stars, I would rank this book 5/5. I highly recommend this book to readers that love a little witchy fun and cupcakes shaped like unicorns.
5/5 stars
