I enjoyed reading from a food taster instead of reading fantasies from princess, prince, king or queen so this was different.

I really enjoyed this book. We are going to use this book for our next book club book. The closer to the end you got the more you had to keep reading. I am going to have to find the next 2 in this series and read them too.
