I more than read this book, I devoured it like a Waverley recipe! Possibly my favorite SAA book yet, although I don't know that I could ACTUALLY pick a favorite...

Or maybe it was baby-obsessed character? Or the ridiculous carnival guy? Hmmmmm. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Sarah Addison Allen continuously crafts stories with a matter-of-fact-manner of magic that is delightfully delicious! I appreciate her inventiveness and imagination!

This story about the Waverly family is a continuation of Garden Spells. It was interesting to see where the sisters' were ten years later, but I definitely liked the first book better.
