You know those series where you are not fully engaged but keep reading because there is an interesting premise and you hold out hope it will eventually grab you? Well, the Magical Bakery Mystery series is in that category for me. I am not fully engaged with the main character, but there does seem to be an interesting interaction between her group of hedge witches and that is what brings me back.
Katie Lightfoot, baker at a local Savannah bakery, is still dabbling with her powers and the realization that she comes from a predominant witch family. When she finds a corpse, with an interesting tattoo, she had no idea what a cauldron of trouble she has stirred up and with the help of her new community, and two eager suitors, Katie finds herself dodging a secret society and hearing a voice from her past that just might save her life.
This series has all the needed elements, yet, it comes across as too simple. Too by the book and procedural as if the author is still feeling her way around the characters and situations which she is putting them through.
