Some of the short stories was good. Others felt like I was reading one of my old school science books

✔ Sugar Rush by Donna Kauffman 2★
(Cupcake Club: Book 1)

Predictable. Too wordy. I had ended up skipping some (just a little bit though) because there was too many redundant topics. On and on and on.
Also, I don't think I'll continue on with this series. The characters were just ok. The writing style I just didn't like.

I picked this as January's challenge mainly because this was a chore to read. I love chick lit and romance books, but this was not my thing. Everything (feelings, thoughts, etc) was repeated over and over. This book was just pages of the same. I'd speed read through that and then turn the kindle page to find more of the same. I really don't like authors that do that. So yes, this was out of my comfort zone!
oh also, I didn't pick this book as a out of my comfort zone book. I picked it as just a fluff read because I thought I'd like this. The plot and characters seemed like a story I would have liked. Another author, and I would have loved them. So this book just transgressed to the January challenge in the end.

This book has reminded me a little of Practical Magic, but the magic and witchcraft has really been dowmplayed. I think it made it feel more realistic. There is the supernatural ghost seeking revenge. And there is a bit of mystery about that ghost and of the Grandparents secretive past.

But I enjoyed reading about the characters more. I absolutely loved the way all the Southern Belle's inner-dark-secrets came out. I really liked the romance with the characters. Wish there was more to that, but it also made me just focus on the small mystery of the ghost.

This is my first book of Sarah's that I've read. I enjoyed her style and humor. I am looking forward to reading another of her books in the near future.
