A delicious wedding. A sour and supernatural curse. Will this baker's next bite be her last?
With her wedding to Hank fast approaching, Imogen Banks has come a long way from the magical contest that brought her to Bijou Mer. But when conspirators seek to sabotage the witch's big day, she fears her latest recipe for happiness will end in disaster. And after the prince falls horribly ill, Imogen and her friends must solve one more dark mystery before her love and kingdom perish.

Speeding through a menu of suspects as long as the guest list, Imogen clashes with a vengeful monarch and a calculating assassin. But as the minutes tick down to seconds, saving her home and her fiancé may require walking away from everything she loves.

Can Imogen create one final concoction to stop a war and marry her soul mate?

Bat Wings, Rings and Apron Strings is the magical conclusion to the Spells and Caramels cozy witch mystery series. If you like witty characters, mystical intrigue and a dash of romance, then you’ll love Erin Johnson’s tasty whodunit.

The epic finale to an excellent series.

Bat Wings, Rings, and Apron Strings by Erin Johnson is the tenth and final book in this fantastic series with our favorite sleuth, Imogen Banks. Well, unless Ms. Johnson figures out another mystery for her to solve. This book has a bunch of twists and turns in it, and I loved every minute of reading.

What I like:

  • Like all the other Imogen books it is written in the first-person with our sleuth being the narrator. Just like the other books in the series, this one, I am most glad is written in the first person so that we can see how she is taking the news and how she is trying to overcome it on her wedding day.
  • Iggy is probably my second favorite character of the series.  He is so funny and so full of life for being a little flame. His loyalty to Imogen is shown much more in this story, and I’m glad for it.
  • The human pop culture references are still hilarious just like in the first one. I especially liked the Jurassic Park one.
  • Imogen being able to stop trying to solve everything on her own and trusted her friends, who are helping her, is a big thing that I like to see. Especially after she hasn’t done well accepting help in the past, it means that a lot that she is doing that now.
  • Horace shows a lot of improvement in here along with Hank as well. These two are fantastic characters.
  • I loved that Horace was flattened by a little blonde lady.

What I don’t like:

I don’t want the series to end, but I do realize that sometimes an author needs to move on as well. However, I became friends with these characters, and I will miss them. Although, I plan to revisit them in the Audible books with Ms. Johnson’s sister reading them. I can’t wait to hear her voice for Iggy.

Five Star

Bat Wings, Rings, and Apron Strings by Erin Johnson was a great book to end the series and to start the next chapter in all of our favorite character’s lives. It ended on a high note and a way for Ms. Johnson to come back to it if she wants to. I am giving it a five-star rating and recommending it to anyone that likes cozy mysteries and baked goods too.

Anyways, until next time, enjoy this review brought to you by,

Happy Reading!
