Ill-Fated Fortune (2024)
(Magical Fortune Cookie, book 1)
Jennifer J Chow
"Charming isn't adequate to describe Jennifer J. Chow's series debut, Ill-Fated Fortune. I was immediately pulled into the story by the powerful first line and an instant, deep connection to the narrator. There is real magic in this story-and not just from the baking skills of Felicity and her mom. Along with the terrific writing, I was treated (and it was nearly as good as those fortune cookies sound) to a glimpse into a culture and place that I didn't know. This book contains so many elements readers will love. Plus a fun mystery. Pre-order this right away! A new series is about to be born."

Valona Jones
"'Gripping fun' with a healthy dose of magic, murder, and madcap characters."

Cheddar Off Dead (2022)
(Cheese Shop Mystery , book 1)
Korina Moss
"Prepare to be charmed. . . A thoroughly enjoyable read!"
