Book 1 -
This well written cozy mystery is a great start to what looks to be a fun series. I enjoyed getting to know the characters in this book as I followed them on this whirlwind adventure. They were all relateable and real, I laughed, teared, and squealed along side Imogen. The twists and turns were on point, and foreshadowed well. I can't wait to read her next adventure.

Book 2 -
Imogen, Maple, Sam and Iggy are back for another adventure! This is the second book in the series, but it is stand alone for the most part. By reading the first you will get more in depth information on the world Erin has created, and the characters but this book will stand alone if it is the first you are picking up.

Compared to book 1, this one reads more like a journal entry if that makes sense? There are more dives into Imogens head than the last book.

It does continue the story arc started in book one, while having it's own investigative adventure. I love that there is an over arcing problem that won't be solved but will continue to burden Imogen instead of the book wrapping up peachy keen.

Erin does a fabulous job of world building, I love the magical world she has created within our own and can't wait to discover more about the different kingdoms and how the world politics operate.

Book 3 -
With each book I read in this Spells & Caramels series, it becomes my new favorite book in the series. If you have been following the story (which I totally suggest starting from the beginning!) you'll know that death seems to always be at Imogens door step. The police chief of Bijou Mer isn't the sharpest or most caring tool in the shed so it is up to Imogen & friends to solve the latest murder.

Mermaid Fins, Winds & Rolling Pins doesn't disappoint with it's character development for all of your favorite main characters plus it brings you more information to the magical world that Erin has created. The murder mystery was well placed, and logical for the story. I love Erins world and her story telling.

The perfect cozy mystery for your evening read! Can't wait to read the 4th installment!

Book 4 -
This has to be my favorite book so far in the series. Maybe because I have a soft spot for Imogen, or maybe because my most perplexing questions finally have answers that lead to better questions! But I'm sure it's in the magical way Erin has with words because this story comes together perfectly within the Spells & Caramels series. I am an avid cozy mystery reader and something that Erin does that usually drives me crazy about other series is that trouble doesn't "follow" Imogen and her crew in the same "you're a walking bad omen" kind of way. They just happen to have an eye for putting together the pieces in other peoples issues, as their own story progresses. The mysteries they stumble into always relate to the larger overarching story as well. I can't wait for book 5! I have so many questions that need answers!

Book 5 -
I am just going to say that I am totally #teamhorace so haters beware! LOL This book was such a roller coaster! My emotions were all over the place along side Imogens. Be warned you will want to read this book in one sitting, there is so much going on, you won't want to wait for answers! Erin does a beautiful job of framing all of Imogens emotions perfectly. Personally I think she can do better than Harry/Hank. I love how well the baking, romance, and Horace stories flow together throughout the book. It makes for the right about of suspense and laughs as you read. I can't wait discover more about all of the above!

Book 6 -
AMAZING! This books answers so so so so many questions I've been waiting for! I love how each character discovers themselves, and their own way a little more in each installment. The tight nit bakers are inspiring and hilarious. This book really brings to light why it's so important not to learn everything about every character in book one. Erin has created a wonderful magical world and I can't wait to see how Imogen and the gang try and tackle their next adventure.

Book 7 -
Another fantastic adventure! These books are so well laid out, I love each one of them more. In this book we get more character development, & over arcing storyline growth plus another mystery for the gang to solve. I am so not Team Hank, honestly I think Imogen should drop him like a bad habit. But for the sake of fairy tale love, I will cut him some slack. :p Can't wait for the next installment! This is 100% my favorite cozy mystery series ever. It's a must buy!!

Book 8 -
SQUEAL! This book was so magical!! I've been team Horace since day one, but this book really solidifies his character. The major theme throughout the story is "not everyone is as they seem or are rumored to be". Loved the ending! There was a huge uptick in romance in this book though, which was kind of eh. I mean not everyone needs to pair off, but I am so excited to see where this story goes! Spells & Caramels is one of my absolute favorite series.

Book 9 -
This one had me chanting yes! Until the end. Imogen was robbed. Even though I have never been on team instalove Hank, she was finally getting some great things. This book has a great mystery, I loved the play out of the killer, and all the high-jinks leading up to it. But now, ugh. I so so so hope the next book doesn't disappoint by making them live happily ever after in the wrong community. Overall this is the best one yet, I say that with each read, but seriously, I was sad/mad/joyous, all throughout the book. I love these characters, and their crazy quirks. Once this series wraps up it would be fun to explore, books from other characters point of views. Especially Horace!

Book 10 -
After book 9 ended I was so so nervous for book 10. With it being the last book, there were so many possible ways it could end and many of them would be a let down! But guys, trust in the author. This series closed out as Imogen as possible, and it was an amazing read! Loved it so much, the last page made me squeal out loud with happiness for the gang! One of my favorite things about this series is that over the past 10 books each of the characters in the gang have grown so much, they all struggled, and found themselves. I love that it wasn't just an Imogen party and everyone else was just there to support her drama. They all matter, and they all progress as people. Erin could do a spin off for any character in this series and it'd have a pre-built following, that's how well she's built this world. ( )
