My Thoughts:

Cover/title: It was more the series name that drew my attention. I love the play on words. A witch coven mixed up with a toy every little girl wanted when growing up: the easy bake oven.

Characters: The characters are fun and a mix of species as well.

Plot: This book obviously picks up from book 2, which I skipped over without realizing it. I was still able to pick up on what was happening because I did read book 1. I love the non-stop action. The book goes back and forth between the MCs and what is happening to each of them.

Overall: I really enjoyed this book and I definitely want to go back and see what I missed in book 2. Then I will move forward with the series.
