The Confectioner's Guild by Claire Luana
4.0
What better way to start off October than with a murder mystery book!
The Confectioner's Guild was addicting to read. From the very first moment of meeting Wren, I was intrigued and wanted to know how this whole thing was going to go down. It also doesn't hurt that this book was jam-packed with so many things - sweets, murder, mystery, and endless twists and turns. This was a page turner for me and pretty enjoyable.
Throughout the book Wren is trying to prove that she's innocent. Of course, people don't always believe her and she definitely gets into some sticky situations. With only weeks to save herself from being murdered for something she didn't do, she puts her little investigator hat on and beings to work. Along the way, she meets some interesting characters that eventually help her out.
Lord the amount of delicious food being mentioned made me so hungry. I'm not even a big sweet person and I was like.. omg that sounds so good. Or I had moments where I was like.. oh that sounds familiar to something I've baked before. So, yeah, all of that just made me want to keep turning the pages.
Then there's the romance part. With all the potential guys she met throughout this book, I thought there was going to be more romance than I actually got. Don't get me wrong, I still love what I did get and might even ship her with him.. but I don't really know - I was expecting something a bit more?
In the end, the last chapter was pretty cute. I'm glad that we found out who betrayed who and that people are going to be protective of Wren just like she is of them. Might dive into the next book if it's free on KU.
