About this listen
Marzie Nowak is forced to contend with several major dilemmas in Spell like Hotcakes. The most vexing? She has to find a stylish mother-of-the-groom dress! Luckily the latest dead body in Widow's Bay appears to have died of natural causes. But in this enchanted small town, things are never as they seem. Not only does intrepid reporter and hot-flashing witch Marzie Nowak have a dead body to investigate, she's also trying to cover traffic reports aloft, on her broom. That ends with a bang and nearly ends with a witch splat!
Amid the chaos, Widow's Bay is home to its first-ever bake off. To make matters more hectic, Marzie's son announces he's about to get married to a complete stranger. Local delicacies are flying off the shelves while Marzie's new enemies are flying off the handle in every direction. She'll have to stop a vampire attack, intercept cheating at the bake off competition, and somehow find a mother-of-the-groom dress that doesn't make her look like her 300-year-old aunt. Marzie will need to deploy every magical skill she's acquired to keep her town on track, a killer from striking again, and her potential daughter-in-law from bringing down a curse on the entire clan.
An untimely death, a high-stakes baking competition, and evil in-laws clash during one hot Northern Michigan summer.

Story
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Story
Thirty-nine was a fantastic year. I was married to the man I loved. I had a body that worked without creaking. My grandma, who raised me, was still healthy, and life was pretty damned good. But as they say, all good things come to an end. One year later, I’m a widow. My joints are starting to ache. Gram is in the nursing home, and dead people think my home is some kind of supernatural bed-and-breakfast. Gluing body parts onto semi-transparent people has become a side job - deceased people I’m not even sure are actually there.

What does a forty-year-old former child star do when she finds out she’s a Demon? A sitcom, of course. Age is just a number unless you’re an actress of a certain age trying to make a comeback in La La Land. Back in the day, I was the child star of the hit show Camp Bites. Today, I’m still living it down.After a disastrous soap opera audition and getting fired from a TV show for not having a bodacious enough backside, one would think I’d be smart enough to go into real estate. Nope. Just found out from the rudest, meanest, and hottest guy alive that I’m a Demon.

Another HIT 5/5
I have read all 7 books in this series now---and love them all. The UP in Michigan is beautiful and the best magical place to have created Widow's Bay. Fun---mystery---magic---and drama amongst characters that have become my friends.--------Traci Odom's flawless narrator makes for a must re-read/listen to. Congratulations Rebecca Regnier-----please keep this HIT going!!!

Loved This Series!!
I believe that this was the last of the Crone Wars series. Spell Like Hotcakes wrapped many things up and gave some HEAs, as Well as some great little mysteries. Traci Odom again did a wonderful job narrating. Her French accent for Etienne is just so magnifique!!! Thank you Rebecca Regnier for a great series!!!❤❤❤

Finally!
It bothered me so much that pastie was originally said pay-stee. I'm not from the UP, but I have family there and we visit at least every other year. And I've had Muldoon's pasties - yum! Nothing beats a homemade one though! Good, fun, entertaining stories.
