I’m always on the lookout for books that are themed for various holidays and are also a bit different and so of course I love the Gingerbread Hag paranormal cozy mystery series which features wonderful holiday-themed goodies. Valentine’s Day takes center stage this time with yummy offerings like croissant hearts with raspberry “blood”, chocolate dipped cookies, rhinoceros cookies and tomato bisque… I’m getting hungry already! In this third installment, there’s a sickly chinchilla (oh Maurice, you know you’re my favorite), and love is in the air with Valentine’s gifts and stories of Irish love triangles (and maybe some current day love possibilities as well.)

Hedy’s bed and breakfast is in danger of being shut down. And that’s not the only threat she may face. I always love spending time in this world and with these characters, particularly the fun and unusual cast of supernatural characters we don’t often see in other books. A Rougarou, a draugar? This went in all sorts of fun directions I didn’t see coming! And perhaps Cupid might have even found time to pay a brief visit to Hedy just for Valentine’s Day. You’ll have to read and find out.
