🧁 I love this series so much! Jenn McKinlay’s

🧁 I love this series so much! Jenn McKinlay’s Cupcake Bakery mysteries make me happy. And her newest, For Batter or Worse is no different 💜💜💜💜💜 For Batter or Worse is the 13th enter in Jenn McKinlay’s oh so bingeable cozy Cupcake Bakery Mystery series. The cupcake crew has a lot on their plate – Angie and Tate have a baby on the way, Mel and Joe are just days away from getting married, and Oz is settling into his job as the pastry chef at an exclusive resort while planning the cupcakes for Mel and Joe’s wedding reception.

Mel, along with several others, witnesses Oz and the head chef have a very public argument which unsurprisingly makes Oz the prime suspect when the chef turns up murdered in the kitchen. Mel has to clear her protege, find the real killer, and find a replacement for Oz at her bakery all before her wedding that’s just days away.

My thoughts about For Batter or Worse

As always, the relationships between the characters are the stars. Mel and Angie’s friendship is enviable as it’s grown over the series, expanding to include significant others, spouses and now an almost here baby. Definitely friendship goals

Mel and Angie’s extended family is large, boisterous, teasing, sometimes eccentric but you can always feel the love and care they feel for each other. No matter how serious the problem or dangerous an investigation gets, you know they’re there for one another. I’ve loved watching those bonds develop over the 13 books in the series.

Jenn McKinlay describes the cupcakes in such rich, enticing detail that I absolutely understand why friends and family members are constantly dropping by to mooch cupcakes. Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC. #ForBatterOrWorse #CozyMystery #BookReview #UndineReads #BookBlogger #NewBooks #CulinaryCozyMystery #JennMcKinlay #bookstagram #BookLover #BookDragon #Bookish

<img src="https://www.undinereads.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Sutanto gets all 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜When Meddy goes on a blind date her mom set up, it doesn’t end as planned and now Meddy has a corpse to get rid of. Oops. Now what? Call in the three aunties, explain not to use the eggplant emoji when chatting up strange men, and figure out how to get rid of the body. Because tomorrow, they have an enormous, expensive, high profile wedding that could make or break the Chan family business. What follows is a roller coaster ride of a weekend with the family trying to get rid of the body while fulfilling all of their contracted duties as wedding vendors in a professional manner. Not enough stress and zaniness? The man running the hotel is The One Who Got Away – Meddy’s college boyfriend, her one true love, the boy she left so she could help her family start their wedding business. It’s hard to open your heart for a second chance at love when you’re lugging around a corpse in a freezer. My thoughts about Dial A for Aunties Jesse Q. Sutanto pulls off one madcap rom-com caper of a darkly humorous adult debut with Dial A for Aunties. Fast-paced and darkly humorous with sweet romantic moments balanced by thoroughly bonkers what-did-I-just-read moments. I couldn’t stop laughing during the Chan family discussions. Each aunt had her own POV and well-developed voice along with quirks for days. It might sound odd in a novel where hiding a corpse is a major plot point but I found moments really touching – Meddy’s love for her family and for Nathan was heartwarming. I loved reading about the Indo-Chinese wedding traditions and descriptions of dim sum. Thank you NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC. @jesseqsutanto I can’t wait for your next book - thank you for such an awesome read!😍📚 #DialAForAunties #romcom #BookReview #UndineReads #BookBlogger #NewBooks #DiverseReads #MustRead #bookrecommendations #romancebooks">

Cozy mysteries are my go-to comfort read. And this

Cozy mysteries are my go-to comfort read. And this looks like a fun new cozy mystery series! Death in Bloom by Jess Dylan due out later this month.

Publisher’s description: Sierra Ravenswood is the new part-time employee of the Flower House, a flower shop in Aerieville, Tennessee. It's true she didn't expect to be back in her hometown at twenty-eight-years-old, but after her dream of making it as a singer in Nashville crashed and burned, she's just grateful to have found a soft place to land.

Because, after all, Sierra firmly believes in being optimistic and positive about life, so she's sure she won't have to work at the Flower House forever. But things take a decidedly negative turn when a customer drops dead in the middle of her new bouquet-arranging workshop at the store. When it's discovered he was poisoned by a snack at the event, everyone at the workshop, including Sierra, is on the suspect list. To make matters worse, her boss has gone AWOL and left the store to her for the cost of one dollar, leaving Sierra in charge of both his store and his high-energy Corgi puppy, Gus.

The town is on edge, and Sierra knows that murder is something that an upbeat attitude and a bouquet of sweet-smelling roses can't fix. She's determined to figure out whodunit, before anyone else in town meets an untimely reason for needing funeral flowers. Thank you St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for this ARC!💜📖 #DeathInBloom #CozyMystery #NewBook #UndineReads #BookBlogger #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #tbr #read #readersofinstagram
