Charming Lovecakes or a Poison-filled Conspiracy?

Juli Mason finds herself in a sticky situation when her cousin Charme's Lovecakes shop becomes the epicenter of a deadly cupcake conspiracy.

Someone's using Charme's sweet treats as a lethal weapon, turning wedding celebrations into recipes for disaster.
With her own wedding to plan, a cousin to keep out of handcuffs, and a poison-peddling killer on the loose, Veil Falls is becoming a paranormal crime scene.

The arrival of the mysterious Seamus Mackey, the new potions and elixirs shop owner, raises eyebrows and suspicions when he moves in next door to Charme’s Lovecakes.

Is he dredging up lovebombs for the perfect magical bath as its charming competitor, or is he their most deadly adversary, concealing the secrets of a cunning murderer?

Juli's determined to unveil the truth, save Charme's shop, and catch the poison-peddling culprit before the next batch of cupcakes hits the oven.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When I was a child I wanted two things. To Write a Novel and to be Wonder Woman and save the world.

Somewhere past 40, I realized the tights were never going to fit, and the only flying I was ever going to do was in a plane.

So instead, I write my Strong and Sassy Heroes/Heroines into the novels I pen…

I build doorways into contemporary worlds filled with magic, that allow all of us to be a hero to our own imaginations.

To me, every character is real. I walk alongside them as they discover that fear is the flip side of courage, that survival may just be a badge of honor, and that our flaws are an opportunity to emerge stronger and discover our own personal brand of superpowers—at any age.

I live in the heart of Michigan with my Fastidious Husband and a Feisty Yorkie named Napoleon. When I’m not penning the adventures in my next book, you can find me kayaking, hiking, and camping with my family and friends.

Another great story in the A Snips and Snails Cafe Cozy Mystery Series! This story has no cliffhanger ending. However, there are potential openings for new stories based upon some of the happenings. I have also read all of the books in the series and love each and every one of them.
In this story Juli and Jack are finally getting married. And as anyone who has every been part of getting ready for a wedding knows there will be bumps and then bigger bumps before you get to the "I Do" part. And this had many such bumps.
I did really love the part abut Gilly. It's amazing what can happen when you see the world thru other's eyes.
It was nice to see that some of the characters from the Spells Bay series are crossing over. They added a different dimension to the usual character base. And it seems that there could be a new love interest starting up. Perhaps they might show up in either or both series.
It's always fun to see what trouble (or help) Gran and Grams will bring to the party.
I really hope that Fanny the Flame got what was coming to her. They say that Karma is a B***H and Fanny was long over due for her lesson.
If you enjoy paranormal cozy mysteries you need to read this and all of the stories.

What a delightful story. Is Juli and Jack going to be able to have the wedding they planned for? After all there is an arsonist loose. Plus, people were dying or have died from eating cupcakes that Charme baked and sold at her bakery. Unless they find who poisoned the cupcakes, Charme may go to jail. Every time they think they have a description of the possible arsonist, the descriptions are all different. From an old lady, a beautiful young lady that could possibly be a model, to a matron looking lady. But it's not only Charme's bakery being broken into, Seamus has been having some problems of his own.
Do Juli and Jack get married? Are the arsonist and the person who poisoned the cupcakes, one and the same person or are they looking for two different people? So many questions and twist and turns. Can you figure out who the culprit or culprits are and why they are doing this?

I volunteered my honest review as I received an ARC copy of this book.

Another interesting cozy mystery from Elizabeth Rain. With Juli and Jack trying to get the final details set for their upcoming nuptials, Cousin Charme comes under suspicion of attempted murder. Juli never doubts her cousin's innocence, and involves herself in trying to solve the mystery. With the usual cast of characters along with a few new ones, this book engages the reader with its complicated storyline.

5.0 out of 5 stars Juli and Jack are getting married! But the person making their cake is being accused of murder?
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2023
So Jack and Juli are finally getting married. Juli is very harried with all the prep and her sister and her whole family are coming: 2 adults and 8 kids and guess where they are staying: you got it with Juli in her one bedroom apt. Then all of the sudden people start getting sick and it is from poison. What do they all have in conman, they ate cupcakes made by Juli's cousin Charmaine. Why would she poison her customer's, makes no sense right? And there are also several cases of arson to make things even stranger in Veil Falls. Do we have one or two criminals? Can it all be solved so Juli and Jack can have their wedding, well if you want to find out, get the book. This is another great cozy mystery by Elizabeth Rain, I highly recommend it. You can pick up the series anywhere, but it makes more sense if you have the history. Happy mystery solving.

Hominy Homicide

Ms. Rain gives us another opportunity to put on our detective hats. Wedding bells are finally ringing for Juli and Jack in this latest Veil Falls mystery. But before they can tie the knot, there's a huge snag when Juli's cousin Charme’ comes under suspicion when her “love spell” cupcakes seem to be making people violently ill. When one poor soul unfortunately succumbs, the stakes are raised. Who is using Charme's goodies for evil intent? Of course, Juli feels compelled to involve herself in the search for the culprit.

While this can be read as a stand-alone, the history of the previous novels (this is #9) helps you get the full experience. Without that background, the story can feel a bit disjointed at times. This had me feeling 3-1\2 stars. But there's a new character added to the cast creating a hint of a budding romance that convinced me to round up. We still get the expected mix of quirky characters, a whiff of magic, a bit of danger and a complicated mystery to solve. Will you figure out “who dunnit”? Definitely worth adding to your reading list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time to visit Veil Falls!
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023
Juli and Jack should have a quiet lead up to their wedding. But this is Veil Falls and there are mysteries to solve and an arsonist to stop who also poisons people. Juli just can't catch a break. Once you visit Veil Falls, you will wish that you could physically visit and have some of Juli's soup and one of Brownie's cocktails. I love this series we get to follow along with characters we already know and this latest introduces a bunch of new ones I hope we get to know as well. We get to learn more about Gilly in this book and she is one of the more interesting characters with more to her than even she knows. Ms. Rain has as always set us up for the next book, leaving us wanting the next book as soon as she can.
