Merry Chapman,
An incredibly wonderful fun series with great characters,lots of twists and turns, red-herrings, humor and miscues。 Each book in this box set was a treat。 Once you start a book you just can't put it down until you've read them all in this series! It begins with Imogene and her dream of owning her very own bakery when tragedy strikes and everything she'd saved for and owned is destroyed in a fire。 This series takes you to so many different places and Imogene coming into herself while she goes aft An incredibly wonderful fun series with great characters,lots of twists and turns, red-herrings, humor and miscues。 Each book in this box set was a treat。 Once you start a book you just can't put it down until you've read them all in this series!

Miss W Book Reviews,
I absolutely love the Spells & Caramels Magical Mystery series by Erin Johnson。 It is so great that you're getting the entire series in one set。 I LOVE Imogen and the journey that she takes as she learns about magic that she never knew she had。 The characters are fantastic, and I do love Izzy and all of Imogen's friends。 They are so realistic, sarcastic and FUNNY! The adventures they go on are fun and I love the twists that the author puts in the books to keep it engaging and exciting。 The myste I absolutely love the Spells & Caramels Magical Mystery series by Erin Johnson。 It is so great that you're getting the entire series in one set。 I LOVE Imogen and the journey that she takes as she learns about magic that she never knew she had。 The characters are fantastic, and I do love Izzy and all of Imogen's friends。 They are so realistic, sarcastic and FUNNY!

Kathleen,
I have read this series and then listened to it on audio。 I found the audio thoroughly enjoyable。 Hannah Somerville enhanced the story and made the characters jump out of the story。This is a great fantasy/paranormal/mystery。 Ms。 Johnson has written a great series as Imogen, Iggy and the rest of her crew try to solve the problems in each of the worlds。 There are plenty of surprises, twists and turn that will keep you guessing to the end of the series。 Each book is a standalone story but there are I have read this series and then listened to it on audio。 I found the audio thoroughly enjoyable。 Hannah Somerville enhanced the story and made the characters jump out of the story。This is a great fantasy/paranormal/mystery。 Ms。 Johnson has written a great series as Imogen, Iggy and the rest of her crew try to solve the problems in each of the worlds。 There are plenty of surprises, twists and turn that will keep you guessing to the end of the series。 Each book is a standalone story but there are threads that carry through the stories。The characters are wonderful and unique。 The story starts off the coast of France。 。。。more
Nati,

What an amazing series! Imogen is a human who has a dream of opening her own bakery。 She has been saving her money for almost 10 years and is very close to being able to make her dream come true。 She is an excellent baker, and knows nothing of the Magical world。 But when she receives an invitation to submit a sample to see if she makes the cut for participating in a mysterious international baking contest held in France, she would love too, but isn't sure if she can make it all work without touc What an amazing series!

Darla Abney-Cox,
I absolutely love this series! I bought, read, and reviewed all 10 books and you can check out my reviews for each book。 If you’ve not read them (or don’t have the whole series), now is the time to grab the 10-book series as a box set for less than what one book would cost。 Don’t miss this fabulous opportunity。 But, if you’re missing one or more, buy this box set so you can read this series by one of my favorite authors。 You won’t be sorry you did。 You will enjoy each book!
Alison Ramsay,
This is a brilliant, fun and magical series with a variety of interesting characters and mysteries as Imogen learns to control her magic with the help of the hilarious Iggy and the rest of the gang。 There is also a romance or two among the friends。
Catherine Stratman,
This was such a fun, magical series! The series follows witch and baker Imogen and a host of magical friends thru various kingdoms and adventures。 I especially love her snarky baking flame Iggy。 He is such a hoot!! Escapism at its very best as you get lost for hours reading all their adventures!
Margery,
I loved this series and the magical journey that each book took me on。 I laughed, sat on the edge of my seat。 The characters were fantastic and while I read, I felt as though I was there。 A magical witch baker and her funny sarcastic flame,and their friends added twists to each adventure。 All I will add was this series made me want some of the yummy foods and cakes they made。
Heather,
I so love this series。 I read it as the books came out so to be able to get all 10 books at such a good price is a great deal。 I highly recommend the series。 The story is great and the characters become like friends and I always enjoying reading about them。
Krystal,
I’ve few books I feel are worth re-reading but these definitely are! In fact I’m planning to revisit them all again for the 3rd time in the near future。 Better then a sitcom but made me cry a few times too。 Erin does such a good job writing these characters that not only do you feel like you know them but you want to be part of the gang。 Be warned, you will want to visit her subsequent series because these books will leave you wanting to read more…in a good way。
Michele,
This boxset is a wonderful quirky read。 I loved Imogene and the adventures she goes through as she learns about magic and her new place in society。
Marcie Rostosky,
This series is a great series。 It is a magical series about cookies, fantasy and about going to different places。 The characters are great, full of life and and consistent throughout the series, the plot is easy to follow。 Ms。 Erin is a wonderful writer and she has a wonderful imagination。 I highly recommend this series。 It takes to wonderful places, and it makes you hungry。 I hope you feel the same way I did when I read the books。 Thank you and enjoy!!!

This series follows Imogene, a young lady who has been saving for years to open her own bakery。 She gets a job catering a party and is told her pastries are so good that she should enter the royal baking contest。 This party earns her just enough to allow her to finally open her bakery。 Somehow, she actually receives an invitation to travel to France to enter the contest。 She decides to send an entry and spends all night creating her entry。 When she wakes, it is to a horrible fire! Everything she This series follows Imogene, a young lady who has been saving for years to open her own bakery。 She gets a job catering a party and is told her pastries are so good that she should enter the royal baking contest。 This party earns her just enough to allow her to finally open her bakery。 Somehow, she actually receives an invitation to travel to France to enter the contest。 She decides to send an entry and spends all night creating her entry。 When she wakes, it is to a horrible fire! Everything she owns is gone! She never got the chance to send her entry。 Yet somehow, she has been accepted! With everything she has lost, she knows there is no way she can go, until she reaches into her pocket and the check from the party is still there。 She decides to throw caution to the wind and buys a ticket to France。 Once there, she finds out that the contest is actually on an island。 This competition begins the adventure that takes place through the entire series。 In each book, Imogene makes friends in the royal bakery, including the son of the king, who also loves baking, the flame that heats her oven (yes he not only speaks but is very funny), a shape shifting snake, and lots of other amazing characters! Each book is an adventure on it’s own but being able to read them all at once is a fabulous opportunity!! I absolutely fell in love with these books and think you will, too! 。。。more
