A hostile town. A mountaintop mission. Will their magic save the day or spoil the pudding?
Imogen thought escaping the king's wrath would give her everything she wanted. But her relationship with Prince Hank is tougher than an overcooked flan and the welcome they get on Badlands Island is far less than friendly. Accused of kidnapping, Imogen proposes they prove their worth by traveling through a deadly forest to retrieve a magical herb at the top of a mountain…
Forced to take her baking skills on the road, Imogen and her friends must navigate monsters, secrets, and a possible traitor. And the little matter of the impending typhoon is seriously compressing their timeline…
With the storm and creatures closing in, can Imogen complete the quest or will her next meal be her last?
Due East, Beasts & Campfire Feasts in the seventh book in the Spells & Caramels series of paranormal cozy mysteries. If you like amateur witch sleuths, unbreakable friendships, and fascinating magical creatures, then you'll love Erin Johnson's page-turning adventure.
Will Imogen and her friends be able to find this herb to stay in town?
Due East, Beasts and Campfire Feasts by Erin Johnson is an excellent continuation of the last book Airships, Crypts, and Chocolate Chips. This book takes up right after Horace turns into a snake and disappears while his baby sister and her friends get surrounded by other islanders. This novel is pretty funny, keeps you entertained, and has excellent character development.
The Main Character:
The main character in Due East, Beasts, and Campfire Treats is Imogen Banks. Imogen is a pretty cool character. She tries not to get herself into too much danger and somehow that always changes for her. In this book, it is no different even though there is a bit of some tension between her and Hank. I still love this character and the way she tries to bring in some human pop culture into her magical world. Granted it doesn’t always work, but I find it very funny. She grows in this book, and it helps her relationship with Hank.
The Love Interest:
Imogen’s love interest like still her boyfriend, Hank. These two aren’t doing too well this time around, but it does get better for them. Hank is still recovering from what happened to him in book 6. Hank does get some character development especially close to the end of the story. Imogen got to see how he was before she came to his kingdom. They are a charming couple.
The Villain:
I am not going to spoil this for anyone since I am still surprised by how I missed it. All I do have to say is that it’s pretty cool how Imogen was able to figure it out.
Five Stars
Due East, Beasts, and Campfire Treats by Erin Johnson was an excellent novel. I am still thinking about it while I am typing up this review and laughing at some of the pop culture references in it. I loved the book. It was great. I am giving this book a five-star rating, and I am recommending to anyone that likes cozy mysteries.
Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by
