Rate this book
Step into a world of unexpected twists and turns in this captivating paranormal cozy mystery series.

As crisp autumn air settles over Honeysuckle Springs, Evie should be focused on her upcoming wedding to the town’s charming police chief, Caden. But with Samhain approaching and the veil between worlds growing thin, the town’s supernatural energy is stirring—and trouble is brewing.
When coven members gather to honor the goddess Trivia, they sense an ominous presence lurking in the woods. Their fears are realized when teenager Lila Rosewood vanishes under mysterious circumstances, making the eerie legend of the Wild Hunt myth feel all too real. As the clock ticks down to Samhain and her wedding grows nearer, Evie must determine if Lila’s disappearance is more than just a case of a rebellious runaway.
With her familiar kitten Kookie by her side, Evie treads the delicate line between the magical and mortal realms, working alongside Caden to solve the mystery. But when long-buried secrets resurface—including the truth behind her Aunt Birdie’s magical transformation—Evie’s dreams of a peaceful wedding begin to unravel. Can she uncover what really happened to Lila before the Wild Hunt claims another victim, or will the encroaching darkness of Samhain put everything and everyone she loves at risk?
Charmed Cookies is the twelfth book in the light-hearted and humorous Cookie Corner Cozy Mystery series. If you like the thrill of solving a murder, enjoy a sweet romance, and adore picturesque small towns with endearing and quirky characters, you’ll love these stories.

Love is in the air as Caden and Evie prepare for their wedding. It's been a long time coming. Together as teens but forced apart by Evie's parents, she's slowly remembering what she almost lost. Samhain was in the air and with always some mystery waiting to be solved, it's never really smooth sailing in Honeysuckle Springs, today was no different. Caden and his men were tasked with finding a missing teenage girl, before the weather turned. With Samhain around the corner and the Wild Hunt myth coinsiding, they had their work cut out for them. The veil was thin and things have been known to turn bad during this time. Evie just wants to get through this and get on to her happily ever after with Caden, and find the missing girl safe and brought home unharmed. All that would be left was to marry the man her heart knew was her true love.

Great storytelling with amazing characters, I would love to be friends with, in a small town full of magic!
So excited for the next chapter in Evie's now married life with another book coming!!!! A definite must read series!!!

I’ve been waiting for this book for a while now. Evie’s life is still a bit hectic working in the bakery, helping her fiancée, Chief Caden Bexley with murder investigations, while learning magic as a witch and learning how to live with her Aunt Birdie living in her familiar, Theo’s body and having her own kitten familiar, Kookie. There are also Kookie’s siblings. Gertie, the neighbor and fellow witch who was her Aunt’s frenemy is a riot as she still argues with the talking cat. Preparations for the wedding are underway Halloween arrives, so the Coven that Gertie, Evie, etc. are in celebrates it. I laughed a lot, cried a bit and chewed on my nails. Two girls go missing in this book and I figured out the culprit pretty quickly. I loved the ending, but I knew that was coming too. lol. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Evie and Caden's wedding is just days away and a girl is missing and it's all hands on deck. Her parents are away and the only one concerned is the housekeeper. But this isn't the only mystery or secret to be told. In this book, secrets will be revealed and there is more truth coming to light. This is a wonderful read. I love this series. The characters are amazing from Evie's big heart, Aunt Birdie in her cat form with her kitty wine, to Gert's sarcastic disposition. You'll thoroughly enjoy this read and the ones before it. Loved it.

Evil lurks in the forest!

Samhain is approaching, and so is Evie’s wedding day. When the coven gathers to honor Trivia, Evie senses darkness, and her fears are justified when a local teenager disappears. Can Evie and Kookie find the girl, or will her wedding day be marred by tragedy?

Yay! Caden and Evie are finally getting married! Of course, that could never go smoothly when the main characters are a police chief and a witch. It is a fun cozy with light drama and plenty of clues to unravel. I received a free copy but my review is honest and voluntary.

secrets, lies and breaches of trust bubble up for several folks, as the wedding between Chief Bexley and a certain witch looms near.

With the changing of the seasons, folks seem to find crossroads as a common theme.

weighing hazards, trusts and consequences might be tricky.

with more secrets yet buried, this wedding season might not be all fun and joys, but it will certainly be filled with puzzles, problems and excitement.

intruige and suspense filled magical adventures that make reading a magical visit to a complex small town.

This is an enjoyable paranormal cozy series with a lot of charm and heart. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone. This book has a big secret reveal that is very satisfying. I am looking forward to seeing how it affects the series in the future. I love the relationship of Evie and Caden and the respect they have for each other. This is the perfect cozy for a cup of tea and a warm blanket on a chilly night.

This case didn't hold my interest as much as when Evie investigated murders, but there was still adorable Kookie who helped her with the case. I just love that kitten! She and Evie make a great sleuthing team. The missing person outcome wasn't a huge surprise and with her aunt's help, Evie had it figured out. The ending was super sweet so now I'm eager to read the next book.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I liked this mystery even if the reason behind it is not so good. Evie was good at helping solve this one. I'm glad Aunt Birdie's secret is out to some.
