Resumen del Editor

A magical French island. A dead contestant. An aspiring baker must clear her name before she gets burned.

Imogen Banks has dreamed her entire life of opening her own bakery in Seattle. But when she accidentally sets fire to her apartment and loses all her possessions, her dreams get toasted. Still coping with her loss, she receives a cryptic invitation she can't possibly refuse: entry into a mysterious baking competition on a beautiful French island.

When Imogen realizes the island village is magical and the Bake-Off’s participants are witches and wizards, she’s not sure her fledgling powers will be enough to win the coveted contest. In the midst of trying to cast her very first spell, a competitor drops dead, and Imogen finds the psychic judges' mystical fingers all pointing at her.

Can Imogen unlock her own magic and stop the killer from coming back for seconds, or will she jump straight from the frying pan and into the fire?

Seashells, Spells & Caramels is the first audiobook in a charming paranormal cozy mystery series. If you like funny heroines, mysterious magical communities, and quirky conspiracies, then you’ll love Erin Johnson’s perfectly witchy recipe.

I love this author she is one of my favorites. I jumped right on it when I saw that there was an audio version. I have listened to just a short bit of it and the narrator is perfect! Get this audiobook and read the rest of the series!

just the best

Erin Johnson did a great job in bringing you into great food and friendships. Along with mystery and danger.. very entertaining! Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series, onto the next book!! Hannah Somerville's performance of narrating was great.

A sweet treat for your ears, mystery lovers!

This series of books has been enjoyable to read - light, funny, smart, and just long enough. Hannah Somerville's narration makes them very easy to listen to. Her clear voice and pacing support the book's tone, and it's easy to tell when a different character is speaking. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the stories, thanks to the skills of both Erin and Hannah.

Oh Wow!!!!!!

This book was fantastic. Imogen wants to open her own bakery and has been saving for seven years. Her goal was 110,000,00. She has 107,000.00. Her boss needs someone to bake desserts and stuff for her wedding on a short notice. She does the job for her boss and she is paid 4000.00. While she was there one of the guest told her she should enter this baking contest and she gets the information from her. The instructions are kind of strange. While she is working on her entry to see if she is accepted for the contest. she wraps it up to be sent. She falls asleep and is awaken by fire in her apartment. She gets all out of the building but her apartment is destroyed. When all is said and done, it will cost her 107,000.00/ While she is sitting on the curb waiting while the fire is being put out, she receives a reply to the baking contest that she is accepted and instructions to get. Strange thing is she never sent and it was in the fire. She decides she has nothing to lose and if she wins she might get a job.. Once she gets there she finds it is magic kingdom and she is a witch. . The contest is to see who will be the next royal baker. The old royal baker died. The ovens they use are magic and the fire is alive. Because she does not have her own fire, she is assigned a fire named Iggy. Iggy has issues and when she first starts baking, he does not cooperate very well. Burns her desserts, does not cook them etc. She is lucky she is able to keep in the contest. One contestant dies and they are looking at Imogen because she had gotten the dough of the dead contestant by accident and when he eat some of it, he died. He was allergic to snake venom and somehow he came in contact with it. Things get better with her baking after she has a long heart to heart talk with Iggy and finds out he used to be the royal bakers flame. Iggy feels someone killed the royal baker. One of the contestants is found to be a snake shifter. Now they think he is the killer but he get away. More contestants are eliminated and it is down to three. When the judges imogens and her friend Maples bake goods they say they are bland. The contestant that wins has a very nasty attitude. However, this is not the end of the story. i recommend reading/listening to this book to find out what happens next. I was gifted this book at my request in exchange for an honest review.

Amazing magical murder mystery.

This book is so great!! The plot is very interesting and the mystery is great to follow. This series has a great start to it and makes readers wanting to hear more when the book is over. The author's voice is fantastic!! The voices they make for each character fits them perfectly and makes to book a lot better to listen to.

Really Cute story!

So much fun to listen to! Love the unique take on magic and the main character is super identifiable! Also, the performance is brilliant as well.

Entertaining

Seashells, Spells, and Caramels is the first in the series. A dream goal, a fire, and a bakery contest along with interesting support characters make make this story interesting and entertaining as a mystery unfolds. The narrator did a good job! I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Full of magic and fun!

I thoroughly enjoyed this listen!! It was so much fun, and Imogen is such a real personable character and so well portrayed by the narrator. The magical world is so engrossing, I want to go live there. I am super excited to start the next one and hope there are many more in this series !

Cozy Mystery At It's Best

The second I started listening to this audiobook you could tell it was going to be a good one! The narrator is perfect for this title. Her voice is very soft and bubbly and made the whole story that much better!

I was pulled into this audiobook and noticed myself all too often not paying attention to work and fixating on Immogen's disasters and her trying to win the baking contest all while solving a murder mystery. I did not see the twists at the end coming!

I can't wait to dive into the second book in this series and see what all the characters are up to! I. was given this audiobook review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Delicious! Who will win this magical bake-off?

What a fun story! I felt like I was immersed in a Netflix movie. This story has all the great elements to keep the modern day listener engaged- work versus passion, baking competition, travel, friendship and a royal family!
The narrator is excellent with great inflection and voices for different characters.
I cannot wait to listen to more of these books! So fun and entertaining!
