Southern Magical Bakery by Tonya KappesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Southern Magical Bakery is the first book in a new spin-off series from the A Magical Cures Mystery Series by Tonya Kappes. The book stars a grown up Lo Heal-Park who has a small issue. She lives in a magical town but isn’t herself magical. Always having felt like an outcast, Lo pleads with her parents, the town, and magical beings to be allowed to leave Whispering Falls and begin her new life with humans like her.
Lo’s new life in Celestial Falls is beginning to shape up when Oren follows her there. He’s a spiritualist but wants to be free like Lo. Together, they make a go at opening Lo’s bakery, Magical Desserts. All Lo’s hard earned plans may just end up in the trash, though, when there’s a murder in Celestial Falls and their one-track police officer points his finger at her.
Clearing her name is only part of what Lo needs to do to help secure her new life in Celestial Falls. She must prove to herself, her parents, Oren, and the Marys, that she can make it on her own. To prove, Lo doesn’t need magic to make her dreams come true.
Celestial Falls may not have any spiritualists, but the town has a rich history and some quirky characters. The single-minded police officer was kind of a drag, but it fit into the investigation of the murder. The story was interesting, kept me engaged, and well-paced. I enjoyed learning about Lo and Oren, along with the side characters.
