Book Review: Deviously Delicious by T.J. Deschamps and Beth Whiteman 📚
Rating: ★★★★☆
I recently finished Deviously Delicious, this cozy mystery set in the fog-shrouded Northern California coastal town of Sueños del Mar was a genuinely fun read. The town itself comes across as charming on the surface—with its bakeries, repair shops, and friendly neighbors—but as you dig deeper, it’s clear everyone is hiding some kind of secret. And those secrets? They’re as deliciously twisted as the title suggests. 🌫️🍰🔍
The story follows Allison and Dorseigh, best friends and roommates who run a business together. Dorseigh is your down-to-earth girl-next-door type, trying to earn a decent living and break free from her people-pleasing ways. Allison, on the other hand, is eager to leave her past behind and explore the world in style. Their plans get seriously derailed when they find an unconscious boy on their doorstep, which kicks off a series of strange events including kids going missing around town. 👭🏠🕵️♀️
Accused of kidnapping, Allison and Dorseigh—dubbed “The Jills of all Trades”—have to step up as amateur detectives. Along the way, they're joined by friends and led down a few red herrings, uncovering just how much darkness lurks beneath Sueños del Mar’s quaint exterior. 🕵️♂️❓🌊
One thing that immediately caught my eye was the gorgeous cover—so fitting for a story that blends cozy mystery vibes with hints of fantasy and creepiness. The narrative switches points of view pretty quickly, which took a bit of getting used to, but with a little focus it didn’t disrupt the flow too much. The pacing is light and breezy, yet the plot manages to keep you guessing with its layers of secrets—from shady neighbors and quirky landlady antics to complicated pasts and potential love interests all carrying their own hidden baggage. 🎨📚✨
Overall, Deviously Delicious is a quick, enjoyable read that blends fantasy and mystery in a sometimes bizarre way. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a cozy mystery with a little extra weirdness and plenty of unexpected twists. 🎢🔮📖
I’d recommend it to fans of lighthearted mysteries with an offbeat edge, though it’s not without its quirks. Definitely a book I had fun reading! 😄👍
