When Katie's friend, Autumn, is found dead all the evidence
points toward Autumn's boyfriend, Hunter. The farther they
go into the investigation, attempts are made on Katie's
life.
Katie is still dealing with the information that she is
light witch and trying to determine what that means. She is
happy working in her aunt and uncle's bakery and learning
witchcraft.
When someone attempts to kill Katie, her mother comes to
town suddenly. Now, she has to deal with the investigation
and her mixed up feeling toward her mother. As Katie and
her mother talk about the past, they start to resolve their
differences.
Even with Autumn's killer under arrest there are events
driving Katie to the swamp. Autumn ran an environmental
organization called Georgia Wild. She was determined to
save a swamp from development. Not only was there a
possibility of an endangered species but the development is
being done by Katie's enemy, Heinrich Dawes and his company.
What Katie finds will not only drive her closer to
understanding her powers but she will learn that she can't
work alone. She will need all her friends as she combats
the latest evil.
Ms. Cates's writing is maturing as the Magical Bakery
Mystery series progresses. While I enjoyed the first
two
books, this one really gripped me as I read. It was hard to
put down the book as Katie investigated the mysteries of the
swamp and faced the darkest evil so far.
A HALF-BAKED HEX
Between brewing magically spiced treats at Honeybee Bakery
and volunteering with a local conservation group, Katie
Lightfoot barely has time to see her firefighter boyfriend,
Declan McCarthy, much less delve further into her destiny as
a witch. But avoiding her fate won’t be as easy as whipping
up a new recipe—especially when Katie finds herself once
again mixed up in murder.
When a fellow volunteer for the conservation group is found
dead, Katie’s mystical senses tell her that there’s more to
the death than meets the eye. Her suspicions are confirmed
when members of her coven are targeted next. Katie will have
to embrace her powers quickly...or she may find herself
chewed up and spit out by some serious black magic.
